This is kind of to do with this site…but it’s mostly just me talking about how amazing horseshoe crabs are.

Did you know they are the one of the oldest known living creatures in the world? They existed way back before humans were even around. Around the time visible life was just appearing.

And in that 250 million years, they have hardly evolved.

The T-rex’s and Trilobites are gone but the horseshoe crab is STILL HERE.

They look dangerous but they are really just harmless (unless you’re attacking it of course!)

They contain blue blood, which some claim is medicinal (but that may be just as true as eating tiger penises). One horseshoe crab only contains a few mL’s of blue blood, so you can imagine how incredibly expensive the crabs and their blood is!

In fact, the horseshoe crab’s eyes and blood is so similar to humans, scientists are still researching its blood and visual features.

I just thought I’d share that with everyone because it’s keeping me inspired today and that’s ALWAYS a good thing. :)

Soo I have a ton of photos and stuff to upload on this site. I need to resize them and stuff though coz I AM on a budget hosting plan, and apparently my images can only be less than 2000 pixels or something -_-

ANYWAY I have been on holidays and starting uni tomorrow…so yeah I didnt actually get around to finishing that illustration I was talking about in my last blog, but I will probably soon ^_^ In the meantime, I have spent the last few hours trying to get this nextgen gallery plugin to work.

Actually its not the plugin…its the image effects thing. I finally upgraded all my WP databases to 2.8 today but apparently its now on 2.8.1(!) and fantastico hasn’t yet caught up. I also upgraded all my plugins here and expected everything to work smoothly. But suddenly all my images load in new html pages now!! :( Soo I’m trying to figure out what’s wrong. I think I’ve got it all figured out – going to use Shutter from now on since its so easy and lightweight.

My internet is going sooo slow right now though…its actually taken me 20 mins just to upload a 124kb file through FTP. It has also failed numerous times and I’m hoping it’ll all upload by the time I finish writing this post. =.=

WP Grins still isn’t working on WP either….no idea what’s up with that plugin.

Aaaanway I’m pretty much really frustrated right now – haven’t done this in a while and I’m so rusty at all this coding and whatnot. Before I was editing my template and me being the idiot tried to rush the process by clicking “save changes” before the page fully loaded. This resulted in not one but THREE of my template pages being deleted. And yes, I did not make backups. I know…I am an IDIOT. So I spent the next 2 hours fixing that up and everything.

UGHH.
