it feels like you're never done
so, funny story. you may notice that my site looks a bit different since my last blog post. well, my friends and family noted that it was loading really slowly, and so i had to get to the bottom of this. turns out, the problem was that i was hosting the images on catbox, rather than on here, because i didn't know bearblog had image hosting. so, that's addressed. the background is different, too; now just a simple dark gradient to make the page easier to read. i also had to remove the hit counter at the bottom, because it too was causing the page's load speed to crawl.
a moment of silence for the hit counter...

well, that was fun. but you know what's not fun? when you're constantly tweaking something you made, or feel like it needs tweaking at all, even after you declare that it's "done". i feel that way about certain music videos; after i deliver them to the client, i watch them again a few days later and wonder, "man, if only i could've done this a little differently..."
and that's how i'm now feeling about this very site i made. even after officially launching it, i still spent a day or two tweaking its visuals and learning new features of bearblog, all so that it runs better. it's best for it to run well, but it's still frustrating, right? in an ideal world, everything we work on would be perfectly, 100% completed at some point. no flaws, no worries. but we don't live in that world, do we?
no matter how hard you work, it feels like you're never done, doesn't it?
