Fishing for Comments

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

Until recently, I was unaware of how shitty this site looks in Internet Explorer. I use Firefox and it looked just fine. Apparently, the images weren’t sizing automatically, pushing the sidebar down to the bottom. So I had to go in and fix this myself. If you are using wordpress and have this problem, just adjust the width of the image in the html statement of the image link (width=400).

If you are using some other browser (i.e. you Apple Safari folks) and things look shitty on your end, please provide me a comment so that I can try to fix things further.

WordPress observations

Saturday, November 18th, 2006

1. Major kickass
2. Blogger.com sucks
3. Use Firefox
4. Be careful out there; wanton placing of plugins here and there can destroy you–it can bring you to your knees.
5. You feel like getting a Starbucks and using the words, “wi-fi” and “RSS.”
6. Black-rimmed glasses and anarchy sound pretty damn good. Atheism still sucks, though.
7. Steve Jobs moves up from ipod whore to king o’ the world.
8. Dean Karnazes can’t do this–fuck no. He’d be all thumbs–he’d quote one shitty piece of Dostoevsky the moment he tried to FTP a plugin.
9. No 0% publishing forever. Yay!
10. Instant editing capability for those of us with fat fingers and no attention span for watching 0% spin like the Price Is Right wheel.

Elementary School Graduation

After the 1000th loss of my blog posting and getting sick of seeing the 0% publication screen of death for hours, I decided to stick my middle finger up at blogger.com and move over to WordPress, where all the cool, Mac-loving beau mondes with the black-rimmed glasses hang out, over where stacks of Wired magazines form makeshift desks to hold Starbucks brand venti caramel macchiatos belonging to the technolords in their dark caverns. They are off html-coding and blagigganinerxshanker-pontificating, while I'm off picking the basic theme and scratching my head at how to just write this basic shit. You can find my 5th Grade transcripts (i.e. my old crap) here. Enjoy: Change is good. Consider change in your life; it's refreshing. So far, I am VERY happy with WordPress. I'm not hip enough for it, but at least I don't have to cross my fingers before I post.
