About me

My name is Joey Marshall. I'm 16 years old. I like python, linux, web development, game development, guitar, chess, lasagna, active volcanos, the color green and so on. And to keep it short, I'll say I also believe in internet privacy.

So why do I have this blog again... ?

  • New template

    Posted on Dec 26, 2006 under Template design by Joey Marshall

    I like the color green. I like to make templates. I wanted to make a new look for my website. The result: A lean mean green eating... oh... ok, so I guess it hasn't eaten very many people yet...

    Anyway, I like this new template better. It's not quite finished yet, but I like it better. I also made some improvements to the blog backend (thank you so much django for making my life easier).

    Oh, and you're blessed with very cool text shadows if you use Konqueror (the ultimate browser) or Safari (the almost ultimate browser... just because it was built off of khtml).

  • What's so bad about WYSIWYG editors?

    Posted on Oct 10, 2006 under Template design by Joey Marshall
