Finished playing Red Dead Redemption today, so I now need something to cheer me up after the ending (no spoilers).
So do I watch Wreck it Ralph or not? I’ve heard mixed reviews about it

I told you that you didn’t have to worry so much, didn’t I?
According to the Wall Street Journal Tumblr has been bought by Yahoo but will be permitted to run independently, like I predicted last night.
I have no doubt there’ll be changes, namely in the form of advertising, but that’s not unusual. It’s unlikely that adverts will be placed on your blog page. Instead,...

Yahoo and Tumblr
Yahoo is buying Tumblr. Well, they’re in talks at least, with chances being that they will buy the website for 1.1 billion. Why does this matter though?
Yahoo is struggling, with only 4 billion cash on hand after selling various assets. It buying Tumblr could be good for Yahoo and breathe new life into it. It could also be good for Tumblr, or it could be bad.
Let’s focus on what...
Anonymous asked: wow that last person was just plain rude! i read your text posts and find some of them pretty dang interesting. like woah, that incident on friday sounded intense.
Anonymous asked: where will your portfolio be? are you just putting it on this blog as a list of things or do you have something else in mind. the portfolio tab isn't working :( i want to see your work
So I’m now finished college for the summer so if anyone knows of any places in Dublin that are hiring..*hint hint*

How does it feel to know that the number of followers that you are so obsessed with is really just 1 line of code among 1000s.
I was looking through my analytics data and I have to congratulate the 55% of you who use Google chrome. Good job guys!
And the 1.23% of you who use IE…well…that’s cool guys, that’s cool
Note:Analytics takes a while to update and only provides me with very rough data. It can’t be used to identify anons, for example

Anonymous asked: Nobody gives a shit about your blog, your theme or you. you just post fucking text posts that nobody wants to read. just leave tumblr and get a fucking wordpress or blogger you cunt
So unlike last night I don’t really have much exciting stuff to tell you this evening, sorry…
But Tumblr gathering tomorrow? Who’s going? (really this is just Irish people)
If you’re not from Ireland, or aren’t going to the gathering tomorrow, how are you? Did you have a nice week? Any exciting plans for the weekend?
isabelstclairs replied to your chat: So I was walking home from the bus tonight (about 11:40pm) on my own, and this happened. Thought I’d tell you guys the story. This is 100% true by the way. I’m just home now

Yeah I know it was a stupid thing to do..but meh, it worked out ok

*walking along the road. I see a car stop at one of the side roads. A guy in a red hoody gets out and the car drives away. He comes up to me*
Him: Hey would you have the time?
Me: Nope sorry
*He explains how he needs the time to get his bus*
Me: I seriously don't have the time *show him my wrists. No watch*
*he asks if I'd know when the next bus is at. I explain that I got off one 10 minutes ago at about 11: 30 so it's probably 11:40 now. He might catch the next one if he's lucky*
Him: I'm being really nice. As nice as I can be, but I can be just as mean
Me: I'm sorry to hear that
Him: You're sorry to hear that? Don't you mean you're happy to hear that
Me: I'm glad to hear you're being nice
Him: Show me your wallet
Me: I don't have it (lies, just like the thing about the time)
Him: Listen, you don't show me your wallet now I'll stick a blade in your throat
Me: No you won't
Him: What?
Me: No you won't
*He pauses for a second and I start to walk past him. I turn*
Me: It was nice meeting you
*and so we just walk away from each other. Me with heart still pounding and him probably confused and disappointed*

I literally burst out laughing at that last part. So this is five hours ahead of me? If so, that means it’s going on… Now?
Nah, 24 hours time on dcumps.com (I think)

this happened today too.
While it’s important not to ignore the tragedy in Boston, so too is it important not to ignore the tragedy in Iraq.

Spreading misinformation, especially if its about blood donations etc is dangerous. More people on the streets means more potential victims and clogging up hospitals, as admirable as your intentions may be, could add weight to already overloaded medical facilities.
However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t help.The Red Cross have info on a donation centre...
I’m not going to go into detail about what happened in Boston today. Suffice it to say that I was in the changing rooms of the sports centre and almost the whole room was staring at the screen.
However, my next post is somewhat important for everyone on Tumblr who is talking about this

Today
Today I went to a Homestuck meetup. This isn’t like the last time where I basically just walked over to one and asked what the hell they were doing though. This time I went to (almost) the full thing..and I dunno why people have an aversion to them.
Ok yeah, while a lot of them do only talk about Homestuck and are quite err…weird, there are some or are just normal people. Ok they all...

Why I like Perks
So tonight I watched Perks of Being a Wallflower for the first time. This is the latest in a multitude of films and tv shows I’ve been watching. This week that included the Marvel films and then Perks, and I have to say I’m impressed.
For me, the book was ok. I mean it was good, but I didn’t finish reading it and be totally blown away by it. The film however, was at least...
Apparently I’m being jokingly referred to as a”player” now. I say jokingly because, let’s be honest, they can’t be serious
I love this meetup page. Not even the organiser is attending!
http://www.tumblr.com/meetup/15178
Giving myself a few hours break before I have to sleep, get up, research and make the:
nerdcrafteria tumblr theme
a new custom theme that will be made publicly available
research notes for assignments
All themes will be responsive (i.e. they’ll work on all devices regardless of screen size). My blog has already been updated with a custom responsive theme (the product of 2 weeks...

I wanted to say that more eloquently but you know…if I thought about it it wouldn’t seem natural
So I’ll probably write more about that at a later date…sorry guys, but it is something I’ve kinda thought for a good while. Just needed the catalyst

Like I said to anon, it’s not that big a deal..or was that you?

Spent the evening at the Hybrids media awards. Wasn’t even nominated for anything, but otherwise a good night. Did have to wear a suit though…or thought I did at least…

Tumblr still doesn’t give great support to video posts on responsive themes..which is a shame really. Literally all they have to do is add a {VideoURL} block/tag and we’d be able to have them resize easily…least that’s the theory.
Correct me if I’m wrong. I’d love to hear about a workaround at least!
Hm…what if I made a tumblr theme in the style of the tumblr dash….

Lol yeah I can understand why you have that attitude. I’m the same. Although personally I don’t really care much for April fools…except on Nerdcrafteria obviously. I mean, there’s nothing happening on there!Nothing at all! I don’t need a...

Anybody out there want to help keep me company on skype or something this evening?
I have a goal for these themes by the way. I plan to make a, as far as I know, premium level theme but for free…we’ll see how that goes.
So far all I can see is that premium themes:
Are well coded (maybe doable)
usually responsive (I can do that)
extra features such as flickr, instagram etc integration (pretty sure its doable)
good design (matter of opinion)
So we’ll see...
Decided to go balls to it on the whole branding thing (for a separate blog/website) and will try to make a few videos tomorrow…maybe a vlog, maybe some tutorials.
Which brings me to something I was going to say a while ago. Before all this moves onto a more professionally branded website I’m thinking of using this blog to launch some tutorials on tumblr theme design, from the very...
Just realised today that there are a lot of you who follow me that are from Ireland..and I haven’t met some of you. Why is that I wonder..and should we ever rectify the situation?

Still working on the “Personal Theme mk3” design. This one will work on all devices perfectly (at least it does now before I add the themey bits).
Only problem at this point is that the design looks imbalanced. Lot of colour at the bottom, perhaps unnecessarily. Removed the triangle thing from the top and replacing with a header/logo…not enough to offset colours from picture...
Expressions of disinterest?
Give me some suggestions. Basically things people say when they don’t give a shit but don’t want to make it obvious! Any creative ones out there?
Seeing as I accidentally posted that publicly…and just in case it’s not obvious. Rachael is my friend so don’t assume that anything she said there was serious…except the last part..that was obviously true
