THIS IS SO FUNNY!!!!
Jan. 9th, 2007 09:26 amJon just sent me this screencap. I'm dying. It's hysterical. Read it carefully. ( Best Error Message EVAR )
OMG IMM SO 3XCIETD!1!!!1! OMG WTF LOL
Jan. 16th, 2006 10:57 pmAhem. Sorry, I turn into a 12 year old AOLer when I get happy.
Anyway.
I did something fun to the CSS on my knitting blog! I made it so that the sections don't have set widths anymore, so they fit correctly in ANY size browser window on ANY monitor. YAY!!! I know, I know, big deal. Well, it is to me. I didn't like the way the original template just SET the widths. First off, they were too narrow, so I widened them. But then, I realized that not everyone has a super widescreen monitor like mine, so then they'd have to scroll back and forth to see the full page all at once. Yuck. So knowing the VERY VERY little that I do about CSS, I made them a PERCENTAGE wide instead of a number of pixels wide. Damn, why didn't they do that in the first place. I think the default LJ templates do that. You'd think Blogger would have thought of that. Meh. Oh well, it can be fixed, and I've done it.
I know this is pretty small stuff, rather trivial and everything, but bear in mind I know VERY little about any of this stuff, and have to learn every tiny thing that I need to know completely from scratch. Maybe I should get some books or something...

Knitting Blog Progress
Jan. 15th, 2006 05:39 pmI've spent a little too much time today trying to create code for knitting progress bars on my fledgling knitting blog. At first I was perfectly OK with some little CSS ones that were easy enough to tweak and update as needed - they only had one problem. I couldn't get the percentage done (text) to show up in the middle of the progress bar, regardless of how much progress was done. I got the numbers to show up inside the colored portion that shows how much I've done on any particular project, but if it was only 5%, then the text got crowded out and looked messy. Otherwise I could get the percentage in the progress bar just fine, but then the fill color got pushed down BELOW the progress bar! Worthless. So for a while, I figured I'd just have to put the percentage complete above the bar, next to the name of the project.
BUT!!!
I was just not satisfied with this solution - it really wasn't the look I wanted. I did some searching and found a nifty little javascript that does exactly the same thing, plus it's just a little simpler to update and it WORKS the way I WANT it to! Yay!
Now I need to start creating "actual content" for that blog. (I also started a new Flickr account to be knitting-dedicated. That way I can link to pictures there with comments on the images.)

I Live in a LAN Party
Oct. 28th, 2005 11:21 amOK. OK. ok ok ok ok ok. The website is ALMOST up, I swear. This is not my fault! It's all dependant on Jon doing the Port Forwarding Thang, seriously!!! And that just hasn't happened yet! But he said something about it last night when I was cooking supper, so I didn't really hear everything he said, but the fact that he brought it up is a good sign. Trust me on this. And now I am going to rant about the LAN Party that I live in.

Log in, Friends!
Jul. 8th, 2005 02:29 pmI just noticed that 7 of my last 10 entries were posted as "Friends only" or otherwise protected by more specific group lists. So that means, if you are one of my friends and aren't seeing a lot of posting from me here, remember to log in BEFORE you look at your Friends Page or my journal.
Better yet, after you log in, click the box that allows you to STAY logged in (on this machine) if you feel safe doing that...
Have a great weekend! I'll be in Fargo... not necessarily the top place to be on my list, but I guess I'll make the best of it! See you there,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I'm feeling kind of jumpy. I don't want to sit here anymore. Ack. And then I have at least a 3.5 hour drive AFTER work. ACK!

Smileys & The R32
Jun. 24th, 2005 11:34 pmI think I am getting too 'into' Japanese Smileys... they are slowly creeping more and more into my internet lexicon, and it's bothering me less and less. (o_O)
Jon got to Colorado today and bought the new car! He left Denver at about 7:30 and is sleeping somewhere near the middle of Nebraska tonight. He is VERY happy about this car. He has owned more cars in the last 10-15 years than most people will own in their lives, but I kind of think he might keep this one for a while longer than most that he's had. The only car he kept longer than 2 years was the Zebra Car, and that's just because it was, well, the Zebra Car! And for over a year, he did not even have posession of it most of the time. His friend was using it, while Jon still held the title. (It has since been sold to said friend, as was mentioned in a previous post here.)
Wow, what a worthless entry. I am so pathetic. I ACCIDENTALLY stayed at work until 5:30 tonight, and now I am super tired but not in bed because I am too busy updating my LiveJournal. Sheesh.
OK, I'm going to bed. (-_-)zzzz

Promotion - kinda
May. 11th, 2005 06:01 pmLast week my boss informed me that another admin who has worked there for several years had just put in a 30-day notice. She has been my "mentor" since I started my admin position there, and she is a really nice gal, so I'll be sad to see her go. I've only been there for like 6 months, too, so I'm a little scared about losing her as a support system when I'm still not sure how to handle a weird situation. But she has decided to spend more time at home with her little ones, so that is wonderful, and I'm really happy for her.

Sorry folks, just another second-hand update on The Chili Finger Blog. I think I won't bother promoting it here after this, but I just had to. I am rapidly becoming something close to obsessed with tweaking the code on that damn blog and I just tweaked it so that each Blog Member's post shows up in a color unique to that member.
Also, if you would like to be a contributor to The Chili Finger Blog, just let me know and I will add you, along with ! (OK, so I'm bad at promoting.)
Also, it seems the theme of The Chili Finger Blog is gradually changing to something like "Things that people have eaten or found in their food that are really gross to eat or even find in food."
Check it out! Become a member! Share your opinions on stories you have found in the news, or just share your own stories! I'm willing to bet that a lot of people have at least one story that would fit in here there.

Audioblogging stuff
May. 4th, 2005 01:25 pmI just realized (with quite a start) that I could just take the html from my Audioblog site and paste it into here, so I went back and did that so you don't have to navigate away from LJ to hear my audio entries.
Let me just be the first one here to say DUH!

Chili Finger: The Blog
Apr. 28th, 2005 02:58 pmI guess I should have mentioned this when I started it, but I have created a blog dedicated to news stories about people in food. I have called it Chili Finger. You can visit it at http://chilifinger.blogspot.com.
If you would like to have posting access (so you can create new posts, not just comments) on the Chili Finger Blog, please contact me and I will add you as a member.
That is all. Thank you.
**Edit 5/4/05: I have changed the name to The Chili Finger Blog, but the URL is the same.**

MRI = Mind Reading Insanity!

Name Game, Poker Game.
Apr. 17th, 2005 10:27 pmOMG I need to name my computer, and then I need to get more computers and name them too. Yeah.
I am up past my bedtime again. This whole weekend has been messed up as far as sleeping goes. And I've been gassy as a mofo - not just loud and fun, but NASTY and STANKY too. Either I have been eating too much dairy or some other food that is not being digested properly (maybe I should be paying more attention to what I'm eating here...), OR I am getting sick. I hope it is not the latter.
Went to poker night with some Veritas people on Friday night, bringing Jon along with me. It was a $50 buy-in for half a dozen people, and Jon won!!! Well, he won $200 and the second-place winner got $100. (I didn't play that game. But I did play in a $10 tournament after that. Got some really good hands, but still lost. Oh well - still fun! I believe Jon took 2nd place in that tournament, but it was a winner-take-all payout.) Fun night. Didn't get home until 2 am! And the best part is that the Veritas guys really liked Jon, and they are putting him on the email list for future tournaments. This is great because they are good people, good players, non-smokers, and just generally in a better position in their lives than some of the people he's been hanging out with lately. One person in particular is falling into a lot of serious problems, and Jon is pretty sick of dealing with all that crap. I can't go into detail about it, but it is very seriously NOT something cool at all. (I'm as sick of it as Jon is, probably more actually, and I'm happy to do anything I can to help grow his social circle, like introducing him to people from my work that he would get along with.)
OK, goodnight. I'll sleep on what to name my computer. I'll have to think of names for Jon's 'puters too, and his server will also need a name.

Apr. 14th, 2005 05:38 pmI was thinking about the "Which website are you?" quiz, and I wanted to see the list of possible answers again, so I went to the quiz, paged thru to the end without answering any questions, and this is the "result" I got for doing that:
Which Website are You?
LMAO!!!!
Which Website are You?
LMAO!!!!
Apparently, I am MSN.com
Apr. 13th, 2005 01:18 pm

Well this is so weird. First I am Windows XP, and now I am also MSN.com.... as much as I tend to hate the Evil Empire, something in me will always love it like I used to. I can admit to that.
The Apple Store
Mar. 14th, 2005 07:20 pmWent to the Apple Store at Rosedale Mall this weekend. Jon wanted to drool on the 30 inch monitor again. When we went in, we saw a guy that looked a LOT like the Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons actually CHECKING OUT LIVEJOURNAL on one of the demo computers in the store! It was hard not to laugh. And if that wasn't nerdy enough, when we left the store, that same guy was still on that computer watching the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie trailer.... and as TOTALLY AWESOME as that trailer is, it is really very dorky to be watching it in the Apple Store in the mall after updating your LiveJournal at said store as well. Or maybe he was just reading his friends' journals. I don't know. Either way is goofy.
I wasn't sure if Jon had seen this. As soon as we walked out into the mall, we looked at each other and when I said, "Did you see that GUY?" he started laughing with me, because he had indeed seen it and had also found it very hard not to laugh at the time. Tee hee!
I am a total LJ geek too, and one of the bigger Guide obsessives that I know (especially for a girl), but come ON! There is a TIME and a PLACE for those activities.

I did not go to work today. I had some major intestinal problems this weekend. I am exhausted. And now I feel even worse because I hate not going to work. I just worry constantly that the place is going to fall apart without me, or at least MY stuff will fall apart because I am not there to take care of it. Plus, I worry that the people who will have to be covering for me while I am not there will be resentful.
So ultimately, all the stress of worrying about work while I'm not there actually makes me SICKER. I hate how sensitive my body can be to emotional stress. It's bad enough dealing with the mental and emotional burdens of stress, but the physical is just pushing it over the edge of tolerability. I am going nuts.
Gah. I am just about OBSESSED with iTunes (it really is super slick), but there are 2 problems with it. 1) It has CRAP for visualizations compared to the MilkDrop plugin for WinAmp, but at least that's not TOO important; and 2) My Semagic client for LJ can't recognize songs I am listening to in iTunes. It can recognize what's playing in WinAmp and WMP and I would guess a few others like RealPlayer and stuff, but no iTunes support! That is not actually important either, but just kind of irritating. So if I want my current music to be displayed on an entry, I have to remember to manually type it in! It's not that I'm lazy, cuz it's easy enough to do, but I always forget about that or am too eager to just WRITE and POST.
I like Semagic. I like that if I am writing and the system needs a reboot or the program crashes or freezes up as it can sometimes do when I try to preview an entry, everything I had written (even if I didn't actively save it) is still completely intact there! I don't know how it does it, but I like like like it a lot, especially after talking to Jon and other people who do LJ straight thru their web browser which can be a real bitch if you accidentally click a link someone sends you or something, or if your browser crashes or whatever.
Speaking of browsers, I am still totally proselytizing the virtues of Mozilla Firefox all over the place. The only issue that REALLY gets on my nerves (and Jon's too - we spent a good amount of time bitching about it) is that the URL bar just keeps addresses in the order in which you entered them! So that means that the things you visited first in Firefox are at the bottom of the list, and the recent stuff that you just entered because someone mentioned it or whatever, that's always at the TOP of the list! And no matter how often you visit your favorite site, it is always going to be at the BOTTOM of the list. Really dumb. That's the only thing that IE has over Firefox as far as I'm concerned. Tabbed browsing is where it's at, and the AdBlock feature is beauty. Plus it has lots and lots of really neat and useful plugins and extensions, and it's SKINNABLE (not everyone cares about that, but it's still neat-o IMHO.)
OK, I gotta go. The bathroom calls yet again.
**EDIT**
w00t - I found the preference where I can allow Semagic to recognize iTunes. Never mind the above rant! Now all I don't like is that trash they think can pass as Visualizations.

Corporate America
Dec. 29th, 2004 06:13 pmThis irritates me. I try to do the right thing at all times, I try to be a nice person and be kind to everyone I meet, and somehow even THAT is wrong.
I was told today that "Corporate America" is very much like High School. There is drama, gossip, deception, bickering, and all of it is pointless and worthless. People are power-hungry, they want others to fail, they DON'T always do the right thing because they think cheating will make things easier, get them farther, but then they are stuck with the burden of always covering up for it, and trying to keep track of who is "on their side" and who might be a "mole" out to get them! Come ON, people! We are supposed to be grownups here! Cheating the system is NOT nice. Being a tattletale is NOT a nice thing. Trying to sabotage the success of others to further your own endeavors is NOT a nice thing. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. BAH!
What upsets me most about this is that I'm starting to see that oftentimes, being nice and doing the right thing is not even considered to be the adult thing to do anymore. Was it ever??? How fucking depressing. I don't want to feel like I'm some kind of innocent fool for just following the rules!
The reason for this entry is that today at work I was discreetly reminded not to talk to one certain person (who I see on a pretty regular basis) AT ALL about another certain person, because (allegedly) the first person wants the second one to fail at a particular project, and might "twist" anything I say about the second person to make that happen! Good grief! This is stupid because a) All I ever talk to the first person about is the weather, family and neutral things like that; b) IF this person really wants the other to fail, that is just plain WRONG; c) If this person does NOT want the other to fail, then what I was told was basically GOSSIP. I don't like being exposed to this kind of drama and intrigue. I really want to resist it, but it seems like even being a good person is wrong. Why do I say this? Well.....
Several weeks ago, my computer at work was upgraded to a new OS, and I noticed that a program I needed was missing afterwards, SO... I contacted the correct people that I should contact to get software I need, and suddenly there was this big blowup because apparently that program was not supposed to be on my computer in the first place, and my predecessor who had installed it there should not have done so (something about her not having a license for it)! So then my boss and his boss got yelled at for giving it to her in the first place, and I never got my software. So that means they were in the wrong, right? But wait.... Then my boss told me that the guys who were mad at him were wrong, and that he was allowed to install copies of that program on as many computers as he wanted, as long as only one person at a time was using the actual program! Well, that sounds weird too, but IF it is true, then why can't he just talk to the other guys about it and get it all cleared up? Because we do things "OUR way" apparently and don't have to deal with them anyway. So he installs a (pirate?) copy of the software on my computer and tells me not to let them find out it is there! So now I am trapped in someone else's DECEPTION DRAMA!!!! I HATE this kind of shit. I hate hate hate it. I just always want to be HONEST and NICE and FOLLOW THE RULES so this kind of insanity NEVER has to be dealt with!!!
People need to learn that being GOOD is ALWAYS better than being bad. No exceptions. Of course, it only works if EVERYONE does it, and how fucking likely is that? Hah. I feel like I am being tainted by Corporate America. Not that I am innocent, but I do feel like if I stay in this for too long, I will be corrupted further than I am comfortable with. I hope I never see this kind of crap as acceptable or preferable to the way I personally try to operate in my life.

People need to learn that being GOOD is ALWAYS better than being bad. No exceptions. Of course, it only works if EVERYONE does it, and how fucking likely is that? Hah. I feel like I am being tainted by Corporate America. Not that I am innocent, but I do feel like if I stay in this for too long, I will be corrupted further than I am comfortable with. I hope I never see this kind of crap as acceptable or preferable to the way I personally try to operate in my life.
