Due to a spot of neglect on my part, A recent server upgrade led to a domain routing error and my URL directed traffic to a hopelessly bad spam site catering to MySpace users. Joy. The issue is resolved, but artifacts remain. Uploaded images and my sub-domains were erased from the digital ether and a prolonged session of file uploads seems in order.
More soon.
So Des Moines is getting a permanent built Renaissance faire this year. for anyone interested Bruce42 and I will be going Labor Day (as the true pirates we be). For more info check out http://www.dmrenfaire.com/index.shtml
Well, I reckon Kansanians can evolve once again. New Scientist I guess 'science,' with its world of 'observable facts' is starting to reassert itself. I don't live in Kansas, nor do I intend to, but the news that the State School Board will be losing its anti-evolution majority makes me feel as if the world suddenly became a bit saner. Welcome to the 21st century, Kansas. It's kinda nice here. God, I love evolution. I'm feeling a second opposable thumb coming on any minute now.
Watching some videos at GBS.tv. They ran "Pirate Baby's Cabana Battle Street Fight 2006". Fantastic stuff. There's nothing like zombie ultra gore animated in super cute 16 bit pixel style set to a rock soundtrack to make your day. Features include: ++ Christopher Walken evolving into a mountain range ++ Sammo Hung in a sweat suit ++ The cast of Predator ++ and much, much more!
I updated the Drupal engine to vesion 4.7.2 this morning. The transistion has been fairly smooth. Some new features have farked a bit of the non-essential content display, but I've been tossing around the idea of refactoring a lot of the site anyway. There is too much elbow room on the site for the tiny amount of content it contains.
Cycled into work last Tuesday morning, took three calls, wondered why the calls dried up... Yup, totally fired; on 6/6/06 no less. I can't say that I'm surprised, angry, or otherwise upset. The pay was good, and money is a requisite for life in a capatalaist society, but in the end it was simply a job; I was not planning on answering phone calls as a career. However, it is good to know that my job perfromance was satisfactory to the extent that a budget shortfall was the determining factor in my dismissal.
Know what's funny? Anne Rice wrote a series of smutty novels about Sleeping Beauty. They aren't too good, but are a hilarious concept when one considers that she's now found her some Jesus.
Beware what ye publish, for ye will probably have to sign a copy twenty-some odd years down the line.
Logging in to the site this morning form work I couldn't help but notice that IE is actually displaying the site content mostly properly. Perhaps some float model bugs were fixed? Of course, if that is the case I may have some other tweaking to do on other site layouts. After all, creating pixel prefect layouts with CSS almost requires hacks in order to maintain consistent rendering across a myriad of buggy or inconsistent browsing platforms.
