Cat on a blue shed roof

Which title is utterly irrelevant to the contents of this post, but there he was, being a cat on a blue shed roof, and how could I resist? (No, I don't know why our shed roof is blue, either.)

I made some good progress last night on my new project: improving my CSS skills. I've been using stylesheets for text formatting for years, and never quite got around to learning how to do anything else with them, but after a couple of hours of reading and playing, I'm most of the way towards the layout I'm planning. It's pretty cool to look at an HTML file containing nothing but text and structural markup, and then look at the way that file is displayed, with colours and boxes and fonts ;-)

Can I go home now please?

And the year of almighty clashes and badness strikes again.

What do you think are the chances that today is just one of those really detailed dreams, and in a while I'll wake up and live it through properly, without any of the shit?
