I’ve decided I think I’m going to go to a fluid layout for my new blog theme. I happily started re-building my CSS to do just that but I’m running into a problem that seems a little weird involving CSS and div heights. I’ve approached it six ways from Sunday and still don’t understand it.
It’s […]

Em is still well entrenched in her fascination with Elvis (a young Elvis thank god). We now own half a dozen Elvis movies. But she’s also into the oldies and is currently big into the Beach Boys. I hadn’t listened to their music in quite a long time, but was surpised (but maybe shouldn’t be) […]

Sometimes I think OmegaMom leads a life parallel to mine.
In her post Now we are six, OM can’t seem to come to grips that OmegaDotter is now six. (Happy Birthday Dotter!). Our daughter Em turned six at the end of December and I can’t believe it either. Clearly the pace of life is too quick. […]

Woohoo! Congratulations to the RawStudio guys for getting 0.7 out today!
RawStudio is the application I use to convert my RAW photos (.CR2 files from my Canon Rebel XT) into jpegs. I love this application because of the way it streamlines the raw conversion workflow for me. It’s interface is logical and well thought out and […]

Back in September I posted about the fact that Google Docs supported uploading of Powerpoint presentations and the gave the ability to have a chat session through Gtalk at the same time.
I just found out that recently (I think as of the New Year) they’ve also provided an embed code when […]

I took a crack at my initial idea for an original Wordpress theme. I did up some quick and dirty graphics using Inkscape and muddled my way through the CSS and came up with this:

I wasn’t impressed with it. I fiddled and diddled with it, but it didn’t look like anything too promising. But hey, […]

A few days ago, I managed to work through part 3 of wpdesigner.com’s Wordpress theming tutorial. This left me with a locally installed copy of Wordpress, a plethora of test posts (which are invaluable), and a rudimentary theme. And perhaps most important of all, I learned a lot about how a Wordpress theme works (and […]

I’m all tapped out of Linux podcasts at the moment, and it’s always good to know thine enemy. So I listened to the Windows Weekly podcast on my commute home yesterday.
It’s amazing that after 10 minutes of talking about how many wrong moves Microsoft has made recently, another 10 minutes of Mac-centric talk, several positive […]

Via the boagworld podcast, comes this huge, screenshot laden, web design resource by Patrick McNeil at Design Meltdown.
I’m currently working on a new Wordpress blog theme from scratch and this site appears to have tons of good info and ideas that I can use.

Expressions can be a odd thing. I had someone at work ask me for something and they jokingly tacked on a word to make the point:
“Please send it to me.. Pronto.”
Pronto. Now there’s something I hadn’t heard in a while.
These days “ASAP”, undoubtedly pronounced “aye-sapp”, seems to be the most common (and maybe the […]
