I worked on a lot of forms this week. I initially had all these grand ideas to have a bunch of cool javascript functionality to make sure the form was filled out correctly, but in the end it was easier to just write it with all PHP. Lesson learned there, I suppose.
I am sick. I [...]
We are in the final hours of waiting to see if they accept our offer for the house I posted pictures of before. I hope they accept; it’s a sweet house. But if not, that’s OK.
It’s a great time to be buying a house and I’m so fortunate to be able to get approved for [...]
First off, I admit to an interest in generating random statistics (check it out here). Today I began actually looking in depth at our website stats and found that since we redesigned the homepage, we’ve more than doubled the clicks on our advertising campaigns and pageviews are up across the board.
I’m happy because, you know, [...]
I’ve had my car since January and although I’m fairly oblivious to most advertising campaigns, reviews of what’s hot, etc., it has kept filtering down to me that somehow I managed to buy some kind of seriously amazing sportscar. Reviewers have been raving about the engine, the handling, the 50-50 weight distribution, etc. But, seriously, [...]
I may have mentioned before how enthusiastic I was about some aspects of the system I built at Belton. This is especially true for the integrated editor - I took it to the point where it could actually generate new pages (complete with embedded dynamic code), populate a new htaccess file for clean URL’s, [...]
Last night was some kind of amazing rest-a-thon. I recently realized I have only two places to really be in my apartment; at my desk or in my bed. I have no other seating options, which kind of forces my hand. Lately, I’ve felt a little bit burned out by sitting behind my desk, so [...]
So, yes, some of you (Jamila) are hearing this a second time, but it needs to be said.
A young programmer was fired today. I know from personal experience that he didn’t work very hard and was really lazy. The company got him super cheap with the assumption that he would be willing to learn, but [...]
Today was a good day at work; I really did a little of all the things I love doing. I tweaked the RewriteRules for our Apache server, I fixed some bugs in legacy code, I wrote a form with javascript validation, and I FTP’ed a hellafied amount of stuff.
That’s right, I said ‘hellafied’.
The bugs were [...]
I noticed something sort of interesting. As you may (or may not) know, one of my major pet peeves is the wave of victimization frenzy that has swept the nation. It seems that every week the country has found yet another wonderful new thing to worry about.
On 9/11 the first estimates of fatalities were in [...]
Everyone can rest easy tonight knowing I have slain what was probably some kind of god of cockroaches. It was the size of a bus. OK, not really. But it was abnormally large. Everybody can expect cockroaches worldwide to be demoralized at the loss and to fall into anarchy. So, go ahead and just leave [...]
