Return of The UltraBeast

Wokay, children ~!

As prophesized by this previous post, it is as foretold.


Main reason why I set up my own site again, rather than to continue using FaceBook's "Notes" is... same reason as ALL the previous (Facebook Notes, Friendster Blog, Tabulas blog, etc.) times -- infuriating text formatting controls. To me, Blogspot also used to have this kind of issue in 2008... which I took issue with, and subsequently used a CMS, instead of Blogger.

Anyway, today, blogspot's Rich Text Editor feels very satisfactory to me (a small gripe, it does not WYSIWYG the actual CSS styling of your site to the text in the editor, but I can tolerate that.)

Learnt a lot in the past two (2) years wandering in wilderness (荒野流転 - Kouya Ruten) ... tried out *everything* that an open source repository had to offer... *add add add* and *tweak tweak tweak*... in part, compelled to due to my curious Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
To add: I have an extreme disdain for people who always want things the easy way... i.e. wanting everything easy, not making any effort at the slightest suggestion of difficulty, giving up without having even started.


At the present moment, doesn't really feel like I had spent a lot of time on it all... although I did... what I got out of it is an immense pleasure (also during the time of the delving, a kind of curious masochistic pleasure) and right now, knowing what to use and where to find it, at a thought... (At this stage, not that I'd want to spend time and effort on that right now, unless I deem the tradeoff of time to be worthy.)


Ok, so that's the gist of it...
  • the pictures and the tumblr site chronicle the sequence of events leading to the opening of this site ("The opening of this site was the exclamation mark to all that had happened before this"*), and 
  • the main reason of shifting many times, (as mentioned by the post before this) was the quest for *THE* satisfactory Rich Text Editor.


* said in that "flashback narration device", often used in stories in many media, but most memorably used in the intro of the PC game Max Payne :D
