Email, cosmetics, authentication

  • Called dad. He still has a cold he can't shake. It turns out he's been sending me emails, but they aren't coming through. I'm getting email from other places, so I suspect it's in the auto-forward at christensen.com.
  • He liked some of Jen's suggestions. He doesn't like the borders. I'm going to play with that some. He took a look at the site on a CRT and saw how dark it looks.
  • Finally got a fix for my authentication woes. It turns out I needed "require user username". So now that works. I'm going to try to rearrange my directories to password-protect some files.
  • Cosmetic changes:
    • Brightened everything to #000077
    • Brightened "down" menu items even more
    • Moved top buttons so that they're "in" the logo, and mashed to the right.
    • Lightened footer text a little to match
    • Lightened content text to full bright. Trying to decide what hover color I want.
  • Now, my emails to dad are bouncing. My outgoing mail server is reporting "Operation timed out." It's only 6:00am, and I'm not sure when's a good time to call and tell him.
