Just a quick interjection here, can anyone use a couple of Dell T0529 compatible black ink cartridges? I’ve got two that were shipped to me by mistake. It’s a remanufactured knock off brand, but I’ve had good results with their epson products. If anyone wants ‘em, say the word.
A nugget of common wisdom in the world of computer programming speaks to the division of programmers into two basic categories (we do like things in binary…) — those who code because they love it, live it, and would be doing it even without the paycheck, and those who do it because someone told them [...]
Let’s keep on with the music posts, but make a sharp left hand turn: Howard Jones
I don’t want to overstate the case — I mean he’s not the Art of Noise, or Falco :) — but I always thought highly of him. Loved New Song, liked many of the others. Certainly enough, at least, that [...]
I feel your pain, Béz.
My part of town is totally on the grid — except for my street, which they decided to skip for some reason. It’s like getting picked last for kickball all over again. But if you could turn down this street here, you’d literally be a stone’s throw away. Well, if it’s [...]
Hee! I’m mentioned in Wikipedia!
(For that same Shai Hulud remix of course that lead to Ego Boost #1)
OK, well they misspelled my name, so I’m going to fix that. Still a fun thing to find.
Sigh. Internet Explorer will be the death of me.
The proper CSS rule should be display:table-row. Firefox like this a lot better and expands the TR without the mangling. But IE for Windows will throw an error, because — unlike its MacIE cousin — it doesn’t support table-row.
A few more things I learned, though I suppose [...]
The following companies lost any chance at getting my recent business due to having websites that are completely dependent on Flash:
Action Nissan
Volvo of Nashville
Toyota (Yes, the whole damn company)
CarSmart
Don’t do that.
Whichever one of you comes up with a way to search for furniture to fit specific dimensions will have an awesome, possibly patentable edge on your competition. And since most of you seem to have dimensions in your database already, it should be brain dead simple to implement.
No charge for the idea, my reward will [...]
I love finding out a day before launching a major program that Microsoft’s insistance on asshatery and inability to follow simple specifications is going to break the whole damn paradigm.
It has been remarked that according to the HTML specification, the form data set should additionally contain the field foo with the value bar, according to [...]
I should be doing something productive I suppose. I really should be putting coat #1 of the rag-on glazing on wall #2 in the parlor. But hell, it’s 9:00, I just had my weekly batch of tasty spicy vegetable whole wheat spaghetti, this time with a nice glass of pinot noir, and I think I’d [...]
Poet, philosopher, composer, and solver of all the world's problems. Oh, and I code perl at the day gig.
