Insomnia

No comments

Meri and I were in bed, getting ready to fall asleep and then she started talking about work and how she didn’t want to go back tomorrow. That got me talking (and thinking) about my job. Then I started bitching…and bitching and bitching and bitching. So now, about 2 hours later (yeah, we go to [...]

The marathon painting session is OVER.  Five rooms in five days!  One room a day makes it sound very misleading and almost simplistic.  We actually have been doing trim for the past two days so that means five rooms in three days!  It was insane.  I’m glad it is over!  Now I can just go [...]

CSS and Opera 9 issue

No comments

I am trying my hardest to use CSS instead of tables for peoplearray.com. But since every browser gets to interpret CSS and “standards” in their own way, I (and all web designers/developers alike) get to hack up our CSS files to make our pages look the same in most of the major browsers. Here is [...]

Lightbox Gone Wild

No comments

Has anybody used Lightbox Gone Wild? Anybody know how to resize the box to the size of whatever you are displaying in it? I’ve got this version of Lightbox (original here) being used for the “Edit Contact Information” feature of PeopleArray. As soon as I can get that implemented correctly, I’m going to use the [...]

I’m a fucking idiot. That is all. For those of you non-geeks and other that are but just don’t want to look at a stupid error, now’s you chance to stop reading. … Still here, GREAT! That’s stupendous. Once upon a time, your’s truly (me) was having a problem formatting the birthdays of a contact [...]

Website development

I found this on digg. It’s funny to me because I was battling some of this crap the past couple of days on a page on my company website.

XTHML 1.0 Transitional

Just fair warning, I’m ranting about geeky stuff regarding web design/development… I read a chapter in a book on HTML and CSS design about how to make your website(s) “standards compliant”. I said what the hell, let’s do it. So I started with the contact list page of PeopleArray. I ran the validator from the [...]

So I have done all of my testing of PeopleArray using Firefox 1.5.0.x. I’ve gotten everything that currently works to do so by testing only in Firefox. I have only recently begun testing some of the other browsers out there (well, only IE 6 and 7 beta, and Opera9 beta). What I’ve found was not [...]

Current work ramblings

No comments

My two big projects are going to make me gray. The Damage Claims (DC) stuff is easy enough but the problem with it are that there are a bunch of little gotchas all over it. DC is a relatively new process so there is zero chance that I’m going to break anything that is currently [...]

In a previous post, I was getting a couple of odd errors in FF 1.5.0.3 but not from IE7 beta2 whenever I would click on a contact and then try to delete another contact. I solved the errors by added a separate request object for deleting a contact. So now my little contact list uses [...]
