QotD: Masters

Question: Did you watch The Masters today? My Answer: You bet your ass I did. Or rather, you can bet your ass that my ass didn't leave the couch for about five hours. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Mortgage

Question: Ever applied for a mortgage? If so, how much were you approved for as a % of your yearly income (i.e. $40,000 -> $150,000 = 375%)? My Answer: No, I haven't. I've heard that you can "afford" a mortgage of 3x (300%) your yearly income, but I know of people who have been approved […]

It's long pissed me off, but I've never had the time to write about it. I don't so much have the time now, but the "pissiness" has reached critical mass, so to speak. Safari's table-copying sucks. Here, go ahead, try it out: Pos Player Today Thru Total 1 DiMarco -1 6 -5 T2 Donald -5 […]

Braggin’ ’bout my Girl

Carey, as some know, went back to college to become a teacher. She's student teaching at a local high school right now and figured she'd begin interviewing for jobs after the school year was over. Most teachers, it seems, are hired pretty late. It's not uncommon to get hired in late July or even early […]

SpamLookup

I'm giving SpamLookup a try over at The Sand Trap. I'm curious to see how it goes, and I've disabled MT-Blacklist for the time being.

QotD: Interview Rate

Question: What's your "interview success rate?" In other words, of the job interviews you've had, what percentage have resulted in job offers? My Answer: 100%! Of course, I've only really ever interviewed for about ten (paying) jobs, and that's stretching all the way back to my first job as a concessionaire at the Erie Zoo. […]

CSS Text Wrap

Easy! <div style="height:17px; width: 270px; float: left; clear: left"><span></span></div> <div style="height:17px; width: 278px; float: left; clear: left"><span></span></div> <div style="height:17px; width: 286px; float: left; clear: left"><span></span></div> <div style="height:17px; width: 294px; float: left; clear: left"><span></span></div> <div style="height:17px; width: 302px; float: left; clear: left"><span></span></div> <div style="height:17px; width: 310px; float: left; clear: left"><span></span></div> <div style="height:17px; width: 300px; float: left; […]

Replace

It's funny to read the comments of the PC-ites on the meaning of the word "replace." So funny it prompted a Daring Fireball article. I wasn't aware of the Windows way of doing things - "merging" instead of "replacing." To me, the Mac definition is far closer to the meaning of the word "replace." Folders […]

QotD: Non-Holiday Event

Question: What is your favorite yearly non-holiday event? My Answer: The Masters. It starts today. Well, maybe. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

MovableType Plugin Request

Hey, I've got a plugin request for MovableType. Someone could make some money with this (I'd pay ten bucks). Or give it away free. Read this and see if you can figure out what my plugin request may be. Yep, you guessed it: a plugin that overrides MovableType's failure to allow TrackBacking URLs within the […]

Midtones

I went to the zoo today with Little One and took some pictures. I'll link to a few on .Mac's HomePage as soon as HomePage ceases to experience problems… Almost all of the pictures turned out about as well as I expected, and there are some pretty nifty ones. I was shorted a little bit […]

QotD: Uptime and Load

Question: What's your computer's uptime output? My Answer: 15:31 up 2 days, 6:04, 2 users, load averages: 1.08 0.64 0.49 BTW, uptime | pbcopy is a great way to copy your uptime to the clipboard. I've found that few people are aware pbcopy. It's quite handy. Incidentally, this QotD came about as a result of […]

Design: Meet the Team

As usual, Apple creates one of the best looking "Our Staff" or "Meet the Team" designs I've ever seen.

Well, it looks as though Photoshop CS 2 (and Camera Raw 3.0) will not support the Digital Rebel XT. That sucks. I wonder how long I will have to wait…

Stupid Erie Weather

For those who weren't sure, two feet of snow melting in two days causes quite a lot of flooding. I won't be playing golf this week regardless of whether the last bits of snow remain or not because I don't feel like sinking in mud up to my knees. Previous notes about the snowstorm here […]
