As I promised, today should be the day that finally sees the Kubrick theme set into the open. I’ll of course do whatever I can to make it as standards compliant and cross-browser compatible as I can get away with, but I do expect minor errors to crop up once it gets into your hands.
So I’d appreciate it, if you would let me know of any errors you find and/or additions you make that might be of interest to other people. I can’t guarantee that I roll them into the theme, but the more the merrier.
Update: Actually, I’m going to name it 1.2.0, following the version numbering of WordPress, and incrementing the last digit when making changes.
Also, My apologies for the server being down, it seems that my host decided that today was the day where the IP’s get moved around. This of course results in me not being able to do a damn thing about the Kubrick theme for the last 3 – 4 hours. Luckily I’m all but done.
A week ago, at age 75, Hollywood and movie fans everywhere lost one of the greatest film composers that have lived. Jerry Goldsmith, who died after a long fight against cancer, is one of my personal all time favorite composers, having scored such movies as Alien, Planet of the Apes, Leviathan, Logan’s Run, The Omen, Poltergeist, Gremlins, Warlock and several Star Trek films.
I would like to share with you some of my favorite bits.
* The quality on Alien isn’t too good, since this is from the Expanded Bootleg edition.
Rumors have a tendency to get blown out of proportion. I need merely mention Duke Nukem Forever, and every gamer reading this will break down with laughter. Nonetheless, I think it is noteworthy that from now until the end of the year, I’ll get to play Doom 3, Halo 2, Half-Life 2 and Knights of the Old Republic 2. In that order probably.
Does it get any better than that? No, not really.
(Actually it does, there’s also Jade Empire!)
As I said a few days ago, the Kubrick Theme is alive and well. In fact, I have in a sense been working on it throughout the weekend. So I do hope that you will forgive me the longer-than-anticipated wait, but I want to make sure that this thing is right from the get-go (I hate ‘patches’, they never propagate as far as the original.)

I’ve been churning away at this site since thursday. Every free moment has been thrown at it, and by now I’m pretty tired. But things are looking good. Really good in fact. I just need to fix one error before I hit the sack, and then there’s some very minor CSS polishing to be done tomorrow.
Or at least, that’s what I thought, until I booted up Internet Explorer.
Everything behaves exactly like it’s supposed to in Firefox and Safari. I had a minor problem with the navigation, but it only took me about 10 – 15 minutes to work around. But in Internet Explorer, it’s a whole other matter…
Currently I’m inclined to just leave the current ‘message’ that I’ve put in there for IE users and then blissfully ignore the problem. But I know that in the long run my pride will win out, and I’ll eventually wrestle it into submission. But my God, why does it have to be like this every single time?!
On an interesting note, this is pretty funny, and uplifting.
PS: Please by all means have a go at the site and report anything and everything that you can find (except validation errors, I’m getting to those later).
I would like to take a moment to just point out that I have improved a few things here at the big B.
