CSS is really starting to bug me. I just spent the last half-hour or so messing around with the W3C code validators, and I don’t understand what the problems are. I think, maybe, I need to do what I did to learn HTML in the first place: start looking at other people’s code to learn what I’m doing wrong. I guess my syntax is just a little off. =)
Anyway, today was rather fun. I slept in way too much after a sleepover that went on way too late. I spent the afternoon driving around in the valley aimlessly, and then went to a barbeque at Joey’s house to celebrate his new deck. It’s a damn big deck. It was a good barbeque, although it was marred by the presence of Judith (lights flicker), unbeloved mother of an ex-girlfriend. I hate that woman. She was civil, I guess (by civil, I mean she ignored me, thank bob), but I wish she had not showed up at all. Quite an unpleasant person.
I got home around nine o’clock, had a shower, and planted myself in front of the computer. My activites proceeded like this:
1) Read slashdot.
2) Got bored — decided to research metric time.
3) Followed a link to another site.
4) Noticed that site has a built-in Swatch .beat clock.
5) Went to swatch.com to get my own built-in Swatch .beat clock for this site.
6) Wrote some bad code that put the clock in a weird place (roughly where it is now). Liked the position, loaded up Mozilla to check it.
7) Clock didn’t bother showing up. Oh well, at least it looked good in IE.
Decided to research CSS a bit more to fix my issues.9) Got tired, and decided to put it off til tomorrow.
Anyway, I’m sure you don’t give a crap about my thought processes. At least not in that regard. And I need sleep anyway.
I can’t believe classes start Thursday . . .
