No Caffeine = Sleeeeepy

He’s Not Heavy, He’s Fat

In the interest of lowering my blood pressure, I’ve undertaken the following: no caffeine reduce caloric intake by 1/3 – 1/2 of current levels no soda of any kind (because diet gives me headaches and taste like dirty diaper) no more cream cheese-laden bagels for breakfast (today I had yogurt) no more late-night snacking I […]

Wait, The Second Number’s Not Supposed To Be High!

I’m still sick, so I decided to suck it up and go to the doctor. He says it’s still a cold and if it’s not better by Thursday, come back in. Ooooo-kay. In other news, I have insane blood pressure. It’s kind of scary that it’s been creeping up over the past few months and […]

::COUGH:: Oh Look! Red And Green. It Must Be Christmas!

I have been miserable all weekend, coughing up lung monkeys, blowing my nose and finding rubber cement in the kleenex and feeling just horrible. I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow morning to get some drugs and hopefully head off […]

The Man

Don’t fight the Man… it only leads to pain, my friend. To explain, web standards: CSS, DIV’s, XHTML, the whole “separating content from display” nonsense, etc… it’s hard. It’s really hard. It’s especially hard when you have an extremely wide range of browsers to support, a rigid and uncompromising client, a design that doesn’t lend […]

One Word At a Time

Use Terminal Instead of Finder = Bad Finder

I’m bored waiting to get sleepy enough to crawl into my empty bed in a house that’s too quiet. I went to blo.gs and checking out all the recently updated sites, and stumbled across Daring Fireball. Interesting Mac-related stuff. The guy’s on a crusade against the Mac OS X Finder, and he makes some excellent […]
