#001935

i fell into the blue hell void again

i died :(

my signal dropped for freaking ever

the bhv's walls started responding to me? still not sure what the heck was going on there.

i un-died. i think. just to confirm, @smiley-anonymous, was that you or not? because the secondary symptoms of the undeath are looking a lot like what you have and like what leah posted on her blog, which is kind of concerning, haha! there's one thing that doesn't fit, but that's it.

i'm having trouble getting into contact with anyone. this could be anomalous, or it could be related to the fact that...

tumblr updated again and it sucks.

A #36465D to #001935 gradient I made.

The older Tumblr background color to the updated new one.

tumblr harakiri,  2 facelifting

Der neue Hintergrund  in tumblr ist eine neue Erfahrung für mich: zum ersten Mal spüre ich meine Netzhaut und fühle mich alt.   Zu alt für tumblr :  der heftige Kontrast von dunkel und hell schmerzt meine Augen (kleine spürbare Stiche)- und ich beeile mich, schnell wieder aus tumblr raus zu kommen - nicht mehr wie vorher, das rumlungern und umherstöbern, das hin und herspringen, das sich verlieren - nein jetzt werde ich gezwungen,  kalkuliert rational schnell durch die posts zu scrollen, um schnell wieder abzuhauen. Ich schaffe es nicht mal alles neue anzuschauen - es ist wie eine spiegelnde abweisende Lackoberfläche. Ästhetisch mag es interessant sein - keine Frage - und für junge Augen vielleicht sogar ein Kick sein (es hat etwas psychedelisches)  aber nicht für eine längere Verweildauer und für Augen, die schon ein paar Jahrzehnte Bildschirmzeit hinter sich haben - ich muss zugeben, das vorherige blau fand ich schon immer altmodisch, aber es hat dazu beigetragen, sich zu konzentrieren. Das geht nicht mehr - das jetzige blau ist ein Rauswerfer.

Hallo tumblr, wie wäre es mit 3 Hintergründen zur Auswahl,  aus denen jeder für sich wählen kann?!

The new background in tumblr is a new experience for me: for the first time I feel my retina and feel old.   Too old for tumblr : the sharp contrast of dark and light hurts my eyes (small perceptible stitches) - and I hurry to get out of tumblr quickly - no longer like before, the loitering and wandering around, the jumping back and forth, the losing myself - no now I'm forced to scroll through the posts rationally and quickly in order to get away again. I don't even manage to look at everything new - it's like a reflective, repellent lacquer surface. Aesthetically it might be interesting - no question about it - and for young eyes it might even be a kick (it has something psychedelic about it) but not for a longer stay and for eyes that have already had a few decades of screen time behind them - I must admit, the previous blue I always found old-fashioned, but it has helped to concentrate. That's no longer possible - the current blue is an ejector.

Took me a little while to figure this out since I’m not really a JavaScript guy, but here it is!
