now you have no excuses for not using my skin on your desktop.

the skin has a clock with the background of the clock being the current phase of the moon. the skin works on both light and dark backgrounds, and is super easy (no editing required) to install. so there ya go, no excuses.

you can still download rainmeter from rainy’s site: download
and you can get my new skin from here: download

here is a preview image of the clock

i recieved an e-mail from jer, who downloaded my moonlite skin, and he had updated the images to work on both light and dark backgrounds as well as increase the size and add a nice gloss over the front and a shadow.

when i first saw it it blew me away. it looks so good. it will be added to the zip file as soon as i get a chance, but it will be worth it.

i’ll keep you posted here.

so my future sister-in-law got married yesterday, as part of a week long wedding fest that they’re having…
holy crap, how much more stuff can you cram into a week?  we had the bachelor/bachelorette parties on saturday,  then we had a dinner at RedRock on sunday, then a rehersal dinner on wednesday, the wedding yesterday, and an open house/reception tonight followed by a party at our house later on.

man, it makes me glad that my wedding is gonna be as short and sweet as possible.

don’t get me wrong, i’m having a great time, but dang, enough is enough.

the way i feel about it, it should be: do you? yes. do you? yes. YAY!! eat cake. go home.
simple.

*UPDATE:*
wow that was a lot of beer i drank at that party…  i bonged like 8-9 beers and a beer’s worth of champagne, and to be honest, the champagne was really, really smooth going down.

but the whole lot was not so smooth coming back up  :(

anywho, i’m swearing off alcohol… again… until the next big party.

the party was a lot of fun though.

well…  wordpress 1.5 came out not too long ago, and i’ve upgraded the blog software as you may be noticing right now. the only thing that sucks is they changed the whole skinning process and started to use themes. i’m sure it’s a step in a positive direction, but now i’ve got to figure out how to skin the darn thing and get my old skin back (which was based on Human Condition by Ian Main)
so i’ll probably be working on that soon, and i hope that this new version is everything they say it is…

but it should be, the people over at wordpress are super cool and probably the best developers anywhere… keepin it real, just like it should be.

*UPDATE*:
as you can see, the theme is coming along nicely, i’m learning some cool things about wordpress and have implemented a few upgrades and plugins to make the iohelix blog experience even better.
