i was stressed last night and this morning about it, but i ended up finding my keys. my fears about losing it in someone else’s car, or at rtmark’s talk at moca (net.net.net)last night were totally unfounded. speaking of which, i should probably post up my commentary on some of those talks sometime.
if i were a set of keys, where would i be…
looking through blogger. wow, i’ve yet to miss a day of posting since i’ve started again. even i’m impressed by my lack of better things to do.(or ability to put off thing i’m supposed to be doing…)
oh, noticed that matt haughey posted the <BlogItemNumber> idea this week. it’s neet seeing new features propagating through blogs. first it was the open in the new window doohickey, and now the link to the post doohickey. there is definitely a weakness to the adhoc way of linking items to names though. i mentioned some of the problems with this technique last week. having a little icon helps in being able to copy the anchor, which is nice and useful, however, the main problem i see is that the name will not help in pointing to the permanent (archived) link, but only to the front page. so, if someone copies the link and points to it, it’ll be fine for the week, but the link won’t work the week after. sort of a bitch to deal with unless your content management system has some logic built in to deal w/ it. unfortunately, from reading matthew’s post, it looks like the ev and pb consider the issue settled. i’m definitely going to have to cogitate on this stuff when my brain is less fried. a lot of my non-existent spare time has been directed toward thinking about some of these issues for some side projects that i’m working on.
ok, it took a while, but i managed to fix a bunch of outstanding issues, adding all kinds of stuff in the js/stylesheet so it looks ok in the version of netscape i’m using. also managed to catch a few general errors and fixed a niggling little validation error w/ tags in scripts. wow, netscape blogger users are really missing out. w/o the event handling and string selection, you can’t use hotkeys to create anchors. anyway, too lazy to fix most of the other piddly stuff in the posts. hmm, that was a good waste of time.
now i’m going to go try to find my keys. losing your keys must be one of those joys of life.
hmm, this page looks totally jacked in netscape, which means 25% have been seeing funky stuff. right now i’m feeling a spurt of motivation, so i’m going to try to fix the stuff by changing the stylesheet up a bit and checking all the block elements…

The ultimate slap in the face, to me
ks: Which matters, right? Because you’re fucking Walt Disney himself, aren’t you?
is not to the audience or the company, but to the diligent, hard working artists and designers who sweated blood for months on this abomination.
ks: Abomination? That’s a bit harsh. I can see you not liking the show. Hell – no show or movie is everyone’s cup of tea. But abomination? It’s not like we did a cartoon about violent second trimester fetal extractions.
interesting mccain / bush article on salon.
But the GOP is not known among pols as the “stupid party” for nothing. The party has an opportunity to nominate a man who is currently the most popular politician in America. [mccain] Since Bush has gone so negative, meanwhile, his “disapproval” ratings have shot up, to the 50s in California, a must-win state for any Republican nominee. At the same time, Bush has managed to amass, as of March 5, a 2-1 lead over McCain in California among Republicans, a 27-20 lead among all California voters and a 44-38 lead in New York
looks like bush won in ny and ca today.
On Saturday, in the wake of Bush’s less-than-compassionate remarks about his sister’s breast cancer, McCain was asked if he would remain friends with Bush when this campaign was over. Eleven seconds passed. “I’m very offended, but I’ll stay friends,” he finally said.
So he would speak with Bush cordially whenever this fight finally winds down? “I didn’t say I’d talk to him,” McCain said. “There are all kinds of friends in this world. I’d still support the Republican nominee.”
