the saga continues

So now I have the visa. And am attempting to organise tickets so I can now actually get to the US. But apparently that also, is not straightforward. The US university that is paying for the tickets wanted a faxed copy of my visa, so they could see that the expiry date was indeed May 19, not July sometime, which they seemed to assume it should be for some reason, and wouldn’t believe that the actual expiry was in May without a photocopy to prove it. So they have that now, and I’m waiting for further updates.

In slightly geekier news, I’ve been playing round with a slightly different layout. And becoming frustrated when the css is making things behave in a seemingly inexplicable fashion, that yet seems to sort of make sense, but still leave me with no idea how to fix it. And yes, my category links still aren’t working. As I have nothing else to do other than wait for a phone call about my plane tickets, I will probably be working on this for the rest of the day.

UPDATE – And I’ve just realised that the site is now very not working in IE. Is ok in Firefox though, comparatively. Agh.

just about ready to collapse. just finished doing some spam proofing, after an attack from evil gambling bots. argh, it burns my brain. and there are some very quirky things going wrong, for reasons that are beyond me. i’ll keep working at it… until the code in front of my eyes becomes too blurry.

haha! i said i’d do it, and finally, after months of achieving nothing, we have an updated web site, that does all sorts of things of its own accord. some of which i’m trying to stop it from doing, but we’ll see how we go.
