Book Meme

Posted by Rikki, 13 November 2008 - - - - - - · 87 views

Book meme:

- Grab the nearest book.
- Open it to page 56.
- Find the fifth sentence.
- Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
- Don’t dig forour favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

When semantics is easier said than done

Posted by Rikki, 30 June 2008 - - - - - - · 66 views

The IPB3 skin designing is well underway, and thus far, is nicely semantic and valid. Headings are used where they should be, and divs don't litter the code.

That said, being semantic - in some cases - is easier said than done.

Take for example the post block. Semantics dictates that this should be a p tag - or more correctly, several p tags as...

Another new theme

Posted by Rikki, 25 April 2008 - - - - - - · 112 views

Today I spent some time creating a theme for my blog here, mostly because I wanted to, but also to see what could be done.

I'm pretty happy with what I have now. Theming could certainly be pushed further than I've done - probably much further. The only 'complicated' part of mine was I used the > combinator to selectively hide the header...

How'd you like my theme?

Posted by Rikki, 18 April 2008 - - - - - - · 90 views

I've created a custom theme for my blog to demonstrate theming - this is only 3 lines of CSS, but you're free to edit any part of the page. Go crazy, we're looking forward to seeing what people come up with

Two more figures painted

Posted by Rikki, 13 August 2007 - - - - - - · 76 views

Over the past month I've completed two more figures: a hobbit, and a Barrow Wight*. I'm really pleased with this - my painting is improving with every figure I do which is encouraging. These are 1" scale models - the hobbit is 1", the Barrow Wight is 1.5". Let me know what you think

Mini review of the LOTR Musical

Posted by Rikki, 14 June 2007 - - - - - - · 116 views

Last night I went to see the brand new Lord of the Rings Musical, at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London. Until Friday the show is in previews, with the official opening on Monday.

We were lucky enough to have seats in the front row. Often in a theatre this is bad news because you can't see the back of the stage and you feel like you're watching...

Balin isn't featured in the LOTR movies, but he's a dwarf that featured in The Hobbit. Here's the latest figure I've completed:

Legolas this time

Posted by Rikki, 14 May 2007 - - - - - - · 61 views

Here's another figure I painted, Legolas this time. It's not 100% finished, but it's pretty close. I'm finally starting to remember how to do it properly again!



Again, bear in mind it's only 1" high!

I have a dirty little secret

Posted by Rikki, 14 April 2007 - - - - - - · 98 views

It's true, I do.

I bought some Games Workshop figures last week.

Wait wait, before you run off in horror, let me explain. When I was younger, I used to love painting Warhammer figures as a hobby. I've never had any interest in playing the games, and still don't. The closest I ever got to playing Warhammer was getting HeroQuest (anyone else...

Here's the 3rd third of blocking. Unfortunately I didn't finish the last shot, so it's not included here, but I'll add it once it is done. Comments and critisisms please, as usual!
