  • Hm, a bug.

    So, the background color isn’t showing in the Flash movie at the top. Any ideas? It wouldn’t have to do with the fact that it is not one of the sacrosanct web-safe colors, I would hope. Not sure. Using #eef. Eventually the fading photo thing will be working on each photo section. In time.

    So, I felt like tweaking the visuals here. I’ve been meaning to since

  • DNA Study Finds Chihuahuas Aren’t Dogs

    Eric, my older brother, sent this link to me. Does my heart good. What we all knew, intuitively, to be true, is now backed up by science! ::snicker:: Read about the study at this Watley Review page.

  • Two “separate” readings

    First, Digital Web Magazine is redesigned. I think it looks sharp, nice colors. I wonder how much the design was influenced by the IA site, Boxes & Arrows

  • Props to Capital Area District Library on their web site

What a great example of XML in action! (RSS docs are specific kinds of XML docs) On that, I’m seriously…

  • Chey’s Computer Kata

    So we watched this movie, Equilibrium. First off, don’t bother watching it if you’ve already seen The Matrix and Minority Report. It tried to be as cool as The Matrix, but just didn’t make it. Anyway, in Equilibrium there is this Gun Kata that these super-cops do (they’re called Clerics). Looks like a tai-chi kinda…

  • Venting (&^$%#@!!!) about a web host company.

    Venting. Launching a web site really should be a simple matter. I’ve deployed hundreds of web sites over the last few years. Most of the time, it is a simple matter of backing up some files, uploading some new files, and occassionally making a DNS change so that a domain name actually points to said…
