another reason the dmv is the ninth circle of hell
ok, so this would have been better with the visual, but, as it turns out, while i wasn’t looking (read: while it’s been sitting on the desk, not plugged in, acting as a malformed and warped shelf for junk), my scanner up and died. dead, no pulse, doa, unliving, dead dead dead. so. you’ll have…

msff
i’ve added a couple hacks to the site to dissuade viewers from using internet explorer, including a javascript-powered microsoft-free weekend. back in the early 00’s, microsoft-free friday was a thing. this was around when firefox was just starting to gain momentum. there were a couple of ways of implementing msff — one was an apache…

it is done…
i’m not going to publish the link yet until the client officially approves the site, but my first website for heritage is done. i was able to do most of it over the weekend and on my half day friday, overall spending maybe 8-10 hours working on it total. i was happy to find out…

first site…
so the way it works is that i create a photoshop document (psd) of the web site i’ve been assigned to based on the content given to me and a “design interview” (di) with the customer. the psd is basically what the site will eventually look like when all the html and css coding is…

energy saving, and goth as all hell
someone told google that if they changed their color scheme from white to black it would save 750 megawatt hours a year, so they said, why not. you can check out blackle and do you google search in an easy-on-the-eyes black, which is also pretty goth.

iHack
after several failed attempts and much twiddling with drives and MBRs, i am now happily running a fully functioning (albeit silent, at the moment) copy of Mac OSX on my PC. i had to wipe my ubuntu install but i made a full backup before doing so, so i should be able to restore it…

well frak me gently with a chainsaw
warning, the following rant is of a geekish nature and has several prerequisites if you are to understand the anecdotal value of it. otherwise the “short description” is less amusing, but not jibberish.
