  • Ew… dirty

    Thanks to Morghan, Katie, Danae and Ringo (and not Jordan ;)) I have succesfully moved. And when I say thanks… I mean undying forever grateful kind of thanks. carrying things upstairs in the Florida heat and humidity can only be love, not to mention the cleaning they also helped with. Although I think we accidentally threw away my bathroom stuff…. oops. Lying on my unwashed and undoubtably filthy carpet in my new apartment is creeping me out though so I am finishing this from work.

  • Life’s little victories

    Today’s title is brought to you in part by the K Chronicles.

    You may (or may not) notice a few minor updates to the site (or at least the first page). These have been building up for a while and since I finally beat Wind Waker, I actually had some time to implement them. (YES!)

    In other time related news, If you are one of the people I’ve promised a website too… don’t kill me. It’s coming. I do still love you, there just happens to be a rather picky list in front of you. You wouldn’t want something that isn’t my best work would you? Yea.. that’s what I thought. (Note: I would never say this to a real client. I know how to make a kissy face.)

    My lease, complete with a paycheck worth of deposit is finally speeding through the postal system to my future landlord. I found out that there is a notary on campus that doesn’t ask questions about your student status (YES!). So although I would have loved to make use of Magnolia Fly’s services… I didn’t need to (this time). Appreciated all the same.

    Check out the Web Standards Link Bonanza over at Simplebits. It’s good stuff. Oh and if you want to buy me a copy of Web Standards Solutions: The Markup and Style Handbook since I didn’t win it and I am such a nice, sweet, helpful person… Then well… what can I say?

    Random nonsense of the day.

    [20:00] d****_nw_fl_8and1half_in: ohh ok

    The joy of instant messaging is that perfect strangers can ask you if you worked in strip clubs. I assume that he floats the internet asking this question possibly looking for a long lost lap dance. Weird.

    It’s tv time. (YES!)

  • Fear my whimsy

    I need a redesign. I don’t have enough content to justify a liquid layout and my measly thoughts don’t look so measly in a smaller space. So until I redesign this page, kindly minimize your browsers to about 640 pixels. 😀

  • And now for something completely different…

    well… vacation was lovely. My family rocks… I got back tuesday and the trip was delightfully uneventful.

    While I was gone, my co-worker friends were busy. Jordan went and made himself a blog (I knew he couldn’t resist long) and he and Shroud are now my virtual neighbors at 1 and 1 hosting Oh and sedotn moved to a real host.

  • It’s crunchy, like pickles

    Right so… the hold up on this favorites manager has been the add link form. It’s obviously a very important form as it’s the one that will be used the most. The part I thought would be the hardest (tableless columns of checkboxes) turned out to be embarrasingly easy after I stopped trying to cut and paste directly from The Man In Blue and actually thought about the css involved. 3 hours of wrestling PHP into doing my bidding and some minor database reconstruction later and the form actually works.
