The inevitable Dr. Bacon website

My new thing: http://drbacon.co.uk/.

I am still fiddling with the site layout etc, and adding seed content (I need to copy over all bacon content from fscked.co.uk, and cross-link from there to here). Criticism welcomed. Rodafowa, can I use your ace MR BACON DIES text as part of my bio?

Bacon doesn't come from seeds, you twerp.

Rodafowa · **Posted:** Tue Apr 21, 2009 12:00

More than welcome, matey. You are become bacon, the destroyer of arteries.

Bacon? He's guy who didn't write the works of Shakespeare, isn't he?

As long as it isn't instant heart attack food like garlic salt is, I might get some.

I do feel that bacon salt is a slightly missed opportunity. If you wish to use bacon as a condiment, then do so. Take your unseasoned food, and add bacon. Job done.

I have roughly £13 left of my overdraft, so when I get money I can buy stuff!

That drop-shadowed text is cute for about a post and a half.

The what?

BikNorton · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 10189

In Chrome, the post text has a shadow.

It's distressingly similar to what happens to my vision after a day of staring at a screen. I don't need someone simulating that effect for me!

Code:

.container {width:500px; padding:30px 30px 15px 30px; background: #99B2BE; border-radius:20px; -webkit-border-radius:20px; -moz-border-radius:20px; margin-bottom:30px; color:#353230; text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #4c4c4c; overflow:hidden;font-size:10pt; }

Chrome must be inheriting that text-shadow down into contained <p>s.

Chrome would appear to be making it up then, because it's not there in IE or FF.

I think your vision may have gone early today.

Hmm - or not, then.

What version of Chrome? I'm on the Dev channel, 2.0.174.0.

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 26224

The drop-shadow text appears in Safari as well.

Then you officially deserve everything you get.

The Doc should still tear that CSS out, spit and stamp on it, then slap himself in the face, however.

That's still in there from the theme I started hacking on. I saw it in the CSS but hadn't noticed the effect in Firefox, so hadn't removed it. It is, I concur, ugly.

BikNorton · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 10189

This drop-shadow.

Doctor Glyndwr · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 32624

Ah -- it was probably less ugly before I changed the text and background colours without changing the drop shadow colour. Anyway, it's gone now.

BikNorton · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 10189

Hooray! Now I just need the eye-strain related nausea to back off, and I can do something else.

Yes, I forced myself to read all the posts anyway, straining my eyes. It's bacon.

Hah. Sorry. Memo to self: install Safari to double my browser-testing suite.

Ahh now we know the true use of bacon, it's to keep Morrissey away.

Completely coincidentally (I think), a link to BaconPorn was posted on another forum I read a bit ago. Squeez Bacon.

I love how this is getting passed around without attribution. It was one of Thinkgeek's April Fools this year.

Edit -- look at how me and him have all the same content!

Is Bakon Vodka a joke as well?

I... I can't tell. I've blogged it though. Any more?

Dunno, I got that from baconporn as well. There was that "big fatty" thing on there as well, about 4 kilos of bacon mince wrapped around what appeared to be a full english.

Yeah, I've subbed to him, and some of his sources too.

It's in the queue. I like to keep a steady stream of content, so I set tumblr's queue feature to post one thing per day.

Neatorama or mental Floss have an ongoing thing about bacon. You should be able to find tons of fun in their archives.

These are my favourites:

Mmmmm, turbaconducken.

If you like that, you should see Rich's real fetish interests over at TheMrEwe.co.uk
I particularly like the article on the use of mint sauce as lubrication. Kinky butt

I also think the turbaconducken looks like one of those pouncy things from half life.

Funny you should say that. Mrs. Rodders always refers to them as "chickens" because of the resemblance to a roast, well, chicken.

Nice clean site although, aesthetically, it reminds me of one I did with Nifty Corners Cubed in that the plain, rounded containers can make things look a wee bit sparse. Can I hazard that less padding and less space between "Dr Bacon, I presume?" and "Your daily bacon updates from..." would only improve matters? Well I can and I shall.

Hungry now.
