ダニエルの冒険

I don’t know how long I spent on it yesterday but I put together the image at the top of the site last night.

From left to right:

• Roy Mustang from Fullmetal Alchemist (鋼の錬金術師)
• Haruhi from The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi (凉宮ハルヒの憂鬱)
• Chii from Chobits (ちょびっツ… don’t ask about the weird mix of hiragana and katakana)
• Ryuk from Death Note
• Spike from Cowboy Bebop
• and finally Eikichi Onizuka from GTO

All anime mentioned above is quality stuff and my favourite series.

Just for anyone who wants to know, the title of this site is “ダニエルの冒険”: “the Adventures of Daniel”.
The subheading, “伝説で名高いダニエルの人生行路” means “The Life Journey of the Legendary Daniel” (literally, The Life Journey of Daniel, whose name is well-known through legend).

The title should have a drop-shadow in Safari (using the same CSS2 technique used on daniel.ie’s menu for the last year or two) and IE (using MS’s CSS shadow filter). I’m not bothering supporting FireFox since Mozilla should eventually add more CSS2 support and it’ll just start working there. I’d have to use some scummy :before CSS attribute, which requires me to either hard-code the text into CSS or try to tell CSS to access the content from the page using something like “content:attr(title)” and giving a title tag to the element with the same content. Not only is that ugly, but I’d have to make sure that each browser gets its own version of CSS or parses so it ignores what it shouldn’t read (as Safari will happily render with text-shadow and :before together giving a pretty ugly result). Ok… enough CSS for one post.
