Awesome

Awesome

I really, really, really, really want an old timey bathing suit.

See how awesome that is? That guy is picking up two chicks AND it’s a stereoscopic photo.

I want one for my next beach trip. Yeah, I haven’t been on a beach since I was twelve or so and I cook in the sun and it smells like bacon (Hickory Smoked!), but I think I could easily pull off the look.

Plus, I can use great pick-up lines.

“Hey dame, what do you say you and I go for some outlawed spirits while we buy stocks on margin. Later, we can head to my house where I have a light bulb!”

Or:
“Has anyone ever told you you’re the swinginest flapper who ever jabbed herself with a hatpin?”

Or: “Have you met the Great Gatsby?”

I. Can’t. Lose.

Today was not a typical day

So I managed to get bit by a bunch of freaking IE bugs today:

  1. The double-margin bug
  2. The opposing floats bug
  3. The IE8 horizontal-rule alignment crap — also in Opera :(
  4. And the hasLayout bug in IE6 and 7…twice! Once has an element having hasLayout screwing up lists. The other was an element not having it causing a background to not show.

Ugh

Maybe there’s a way we can get people to switch to Firefox by offering a rebate? Give out a rebate code with a download. Or Chrome? Google’s got money…

I haven’t thought this through yet

Censored?

Hardly.

After HostMySite’s apology, I agreed to hide the blog post. Someone actually admitted that the technician, who was telling our client I was doing it wrong, was wrong. Turns out he was talking about ASP, not PHP. It’s ok because I get those confused all the time.

(Editor’s note: I’ve never confused ASP and PHP. I’ve also never confused .Net and the JRE, Qt and GTK, Rails and Pylons, the Daily Show and the Colbert Report, Grep and Awk, Bash and Zsh, OpenGL and Direct3D, or Vim and Emacs. Turns out some things are totally not like each other, period.)

Anyway, the matter’s done with. Til next time, I suppose.
