Note: This post is old! The new version of K2 supports the option to do what this hack sought to do, but does it much more elegantly.
Not exactly the original purpose intended for the site, but since I haven’t gotten any content up yet, I might as well post a bit of a CSS hack. For those of you running Wordpress 2.1, check out 3 Column K2, a hack adding a second sidebar to the original K2 theme for Wordpress.
I have modified the CSS file from the default layout of 3 Column K2 to the layout found on this site (sidebar-content-sidebar). It is installed by simply dropping the CSS file found below into your “styles” folder in your 3ColumnK2 installation, and selecting it as your style in the K2 menu. I’ve only tested it on IE6 and FF2. I’m not a CSS expert so, by all means, let me know if you can clean it up a little bit.
The layout is the exact same as found on this site, 180px Sidebar - 515px Content - 180px Sidebar.
Download here (right-click, save as):
sb-content-sb.css
However, if you need the original size sidebars, the following css file is 230px Sidebar - 485px Content - 175px Sidebar.
sblg-content-sb.css

So everybody and their brothers have hacked Mattel’s Juicebox in order to make a digital photo frame. Its really quit easy, especially if you own the mp3/photo kit. I didn’t document the process, but here is a sample of the 3/4 of the way finished product:
So, in a future article (soon, I hope), I will try to recreate most of the steps, and also finish tidying up the wires. Plus I have a left over Juicebox that I might do some real hacking on. I briefly skimmed through an article about some progress using a PICAXE microcontroller to do some cool stuff with these bad boys.
As a preview of things to come, I’ll now have you gaze into the eyes of pure innocence:
What do I have against this furry little critter? Mainly, she’s a cheap little floozy. I picked one of these up at the local K’s Merchandise “Going Out of Business” sale for a grand total of $1.
So stay tuned, because you will see this little guy naked and shamed, with guts everywhere, doing unspeakable acts that Momma Cleopatra Dancing Hamster would be ashamed of! That is… as soon as I find the time to post it!
Knowing how well I keep up with things, I doubt the 4 hours I’ve spent setting up this site will actually be worth it. And yes, even though its built on wordpress, it still took me over 4 hours to figure everything out.
Hopefully though, someday this will be a nice little collection of useless information!
