rearranged the clutter in the basement to be marginally less embarrassing for when the installer comes on Tuesday

@andrea I've been using method B too, so I was surprised to see the overflow: auto method.

got some long-intended work done on the antennas. Still only one working, but I think the rest will have to wait for autumn.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat June 20, 2008 at 10:50:33 PM
aches all over. A career in web development shouldn't be so painful.

@epersonae download VirtualPC and the IE6 virtual machine and you'll be able to keep both IE6 and IE7 on the same machine.

thinks that it figures that the power would go out *after* all the thunder stopped....
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat June 16, 2008 at 7:31:59 PM
came home through a really nasty thunderstorm. First hail I've seen in years. Saw a power transformer explode and a power line fall too.

wonders if the people at the back of the line for the free Vampire Weekend/Born Ruffians concert are still in line. We gave up & came home.

is relieved that he doesn't require root canal, just a crown. Also, the car passed inspection. Yay!

has the day off, in as much as any day that involved a trip to the dentist can be called "off"
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat June 10, 2008 at 4:08:48 PM
wonders what the deal is with designers and gradients. Can't you just wait for IE6 to die before inflicting that on us poor front end devs?
