Satyr redux
AUGH
Damn and blast! On a normal monitor everything is SCREWED UP. Why do defaults suck so much?
I shouldn't complain. I love to tweak things until they are just so...but still.

Epic fail
Ok, so things are going a little slower than I anticipated.
I did a stupid thing...I recompiled glibc to an earlier version. Bad move.
Rather than deal with it, I backed things up and reloaded the operating system on my laptop. Its recompiling from scratch now...which is OK actually. By starting over, I'll avoid all the previous mistakes I made with dependencies. Its just going to take a couple of days to get it all working the way I had.
Meh.

Fiddling
Now begins the task of fiddling with all the CSS because I abhor defaults.
Now I need to create a large block of text to act as a placeholder, so I can see how all this is going to move around on the screen as I adjust various settings willy nilly. Does anyone even use that phrase anymore? Sounds like some sort of carnival ride. Anyway, this looks like plenty of text and will do nicely.
Although, I really should try adding some images too. Worst of all, all my monitors are widescreen...

No, this is my first entry
Hm. It seems brand new installations of MT craft your first post for you. Odd.
