What a week

I was supposed to be doing thing this past week that I really need to do, but was unable to due to a few other things that popped up early in the week, which wasted my entire week otherwise. Here are a few of the things that got in my way.

  • Trying to schedule a VPN connection, file transfer and disconnection without a user logged in, as it turns out, is more difficult that it should be
  • Software version changes that completely change the way a program works really annoys me. Especially when said changes aren’t documented and it takes me 3 days to figure out how to make it work like it did before the upgrade
  • I forgot that IE6 doesn’t support the max-width property in CSS. That took me a few hours to remember. Also took me an hour to find a working copy of IE6 that I could use. It’s in Nevada in case you were curious. Please switch to FireFox.
  • I had some fun with colors this week over there in case you didn’t notice. I might do the same thing here to brighten the place up a bit more.
  • I think my scale might actually say 24* today. Finger crossed
  • The more I use Transmit, the more I like it. Damn you Panic!
  • I started playing with Times yesterday and will continue today. I have a few days left on my trial, and now that it’s stopped crashing, it’s actually useable. Still not sure if it’s worth $30.

Errands this weekend, plus some photos for a new flickr group I joined. Don’t worry, you’ll see them too.

All comments at wind(the)frog(dot)net are moderated. In the wind(the)frog(dot)net labs I have an elite team of ninja robots keeping things on the up and up.

Dont' sweat if your comment isn't showing up. It's currently being analyzed by the robots to ensure that you are, in fact, you and not one of those idiot spammers that spend their days and nights clogging the tubes.

If does seem to be taking longer than normal, contact db and he'll hook you up tootsweet! You know, 'cause that's the kind of guy he is (and he is also the boss of the ninja robots).

Finally, for those of you in the know, Markdown is available as it a very small set of HTML tags. If you are scratching your head, don't worry, it's just geek stuff. You can still comment!
