A little excitement
02/28/07, 13:57
I know I wrote on Monday about apathy consuming me. A bit of excitement has canceled that out the last day or so. When I was in Vegas for the Western Region Waterski meeting, I noticed an e-mail regarding a “student web-programming job”. That particular weekend was very busy and hectic, so I didn’t reply at the time, and it took me a few days to fully recover before the next weekend vacation. And, well, I just got around to inquiring about it yesterday afternoon.
Long story short, they asked me at 11:30pm last night to come in for an interview today at 10:30am. I also know they’ve been looking through my website, so I won’t say anything more.
*fingers crossed*
11Seminar, Finished, Groovy

I got the chance to attend a Mac OS X Tiger/Tiger Server seminar today. Mostly it was an advertisement for the new features in the latest flavor of OS X, but there were a few subtle things I learned about. Mostly what was new to me were the features in Mac OS X Server. I could geek out for a bit here, but being that I probably won’t be running such a server anytime soon, I won’t.
Also today finally marked the conclusion of the journy that was building the math department a new website. The project had been just about complete for a while now, but we had to wait for a few things to happen before moving it over to the permanant server. Then when loaded on the new server, naturally, nothing worked. So after manually editing EVERY php file, twice, I was down to only 2 minor headaches, which could be lived without for a day or so. One, the photo album would load the expanded pictures, this was a simple fix to add _GET[''] to the variable declaration. Two, the random image rotator was seemingly completely broken. Somehow the line endings transformed themselves to DOS format, and a mystery character decided to rear its ugly head. Thanks to help from Hans, this got taken care of today as well.

10Worlds largest <hr />

Some people do strange things when they get bored. Take me for example… <hr /> tags usually result in something that looks like this, right?:
Well, leave it to me to get really bored and try to find the largest size that’ll render in multiple browsers… Check out the result here: http://lvidmar.com/largesthr.html So far it rendered in 5 out of 10 browsers (some of the monstrous-hr-inept browsers include IE5/classic, NS4.7/classic, and even Lynx/terminal, so don’t go thinking it’s horribly incompatible) and it’s completely standards complaint!
Tell your friends about this link, it’s really useless! 
Rant: Internet Explorer sucks!

Found this dandy quote on Orkut tonight, and I agree 1,000%!
“IE is not a browser. It is a file manager, that renders HTML (poorly, and in a non-standards-compliant way) with an ActiveX control (the same one that Outlook and Exchange requires, to “render” HTML in user’s mailboxes).”
So do yourself a favor and get a real browser if you haven’t already done so.
