Today I got a Job. I feels weird. I could be at this Job for many years. It's a web developer role. I'd be in charge of all the companies websites; Internet, Intranet, Extranet. Its going to be rocking. The whole system will be get a graphical and structural overhall by ME!

That is all.

House Gymnastics. This is cool. People in weird positions dotted around a house. Basically a swingers party for the celebate. If your bored, try an elevated dog stretch* in your kitchen.

*All stunts seen are performed in controlled and safely designed kitchens, halls, floors, and anywhere. Please do not try this at home.

It's Exam Time. This means that the weather is really hot. It is impossible to get any study done. So instead we get tans. A tan is better than an honours degree anyway.

So I'm lying in the front garden, staring up at the sky. I wondered, "Is there anything fluffier than a a cloud", maybe one of those new ducks, they're like a mothball with eyes. I took this photo with Conors camera and put my oakleys infront of the lense so that it would not glare. Turned out pretty good.

Nah. Em. Oh yeah. I was looking through some sites and I was in the CSS Vault. They linked to Berit Sømme. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why the main graphic (The girl) was not displaying in any of my browsers. Well, about a week later. I have figured it out. Norton internet security was blocking it because the word "banner" was in the url.

See there is this setting in it, so that it will stop all files that it thinks are banners. Thats not very good, because some banners are not banners (in this case exactly).

Blah. I dunno. I could rant but you get the idea.

"Mossy in a hedge, the sequel". The return of the hedge. The hedgeman cometh. The rise of the hedges.

Ok. Here is the Real Photo of the Week. I call it, "Mossy in a Hedge". It does exactly what it says on the tin.

I just watched Fight Club. I've seen the first hour 3 times now. For some reason I never got to the second hour. But tonight I forced myself to watch it all.

It's a damn good movie. I like those movies that have strange plots, but it's not about the plot. It's about the direction and the analogies, it's about the acting and the characters. Plots don't matter when the characters are just so fucked up they're perfect.

The 1st rule of my blog is you don't talk about my blog...

Fin.

This photo was supposed to be a recent one of me in a hedge. But Conor went home for a couple of days, so instead i'll put up a picture of him in John Fs' car with Jim Beam. He's so excited!

Was reading through Gadgetopia. A Nice post on the perfect office space. Duckarto wants this. Every programmer deserves this.

Reminds me of the Film Office Space. It's a classic movie about how being a number in an organisation can make you go insane. I don't want to be a number. I want to be a name.

Anyways, Deane was asking about how they got the menu to disappear. So I looked through they're html at the stylesheet. It's easier than I thought. Here is the code from About Fog Creek.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/fogcreek.css"
title="default" media="screen" />

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/print.css"
title="default" media="print" />

While on my morning browse, I came apon this site. Can't remember how I got here to be exact. Funny cartoons though. The Joy Of Tech.

Via The Annekenstein Monster.

Today was an uninteresting day, that is until now. I couldn't think of anything to write, so much so that I was nearly going to make some stupid analogy about that very fact.

But then the coolest thing happened. Gadgetopia is a site I have been visiting since about November Last year, religously. The site has become my source for all things interesting (to a nerd anyway) on the Web.

Today, they (Deane to be precise) actually used a reference that I had put in my Blog (my 4 day old blog). Cool or what?

This photo was taken by Dave before he left for Holland almost 2 years ago (He's back now, BTW). Its the wallpaper in the background that makes this a classic Irish Photo. It was 2002, yet that wallpaper had to have been from the late '70s. Quality!

Oh yeah, Funny Story from 2 years ago. Dave was due to fly out the next morning at like 6 o'clock. So he borrowed my phone, set it for 3.30* to get the Bus to the aiport. 5 minutes later, Dave decides that 3.30 is too early, so he changes it to 3.40. I get up the next morning at 7.50, greeted by dave scratching his head in the hall, "What time is it?". Oh how we laughed. The plane flew out at 5.00pm, 184 squids lighter than expected.

*Times may not be completely accurate.

Hot Chicken Rolls. What is the latest fascination with hot chicken rolls? Sure, i've had hot chicken rolls in the past, but now its like a new fad. People are qeueing (?) in all the shops (Spar, SU, Dromroe) for a "Hot Chicken Roll Please".

I remember my first really nice Hot Chicken Roll. Three years ago (1st Year) KK came back from the shop with a Hot Chicken and Coleslaw one. He preached at how lovely it was. So I went and got one. He wasn't wrong. They are damn nice.

voteRoots. This is my latest creation. As part of Interactive Media Project, we have to create an Interactive Voting System.

It must be usable by a blind person and a person who can see. Turned out ok. Not quite finished yet. Have to change the sounds to a computer voice that Duffy informed me of (Text-to-speech). Has to be handed up tomorrow at by 5. Yay!

Gadgetopia. Basically, nerd heaven. If its nerdy, or even if its not nerdy but a nerd would like it, then it's been in here. By this web development company in Dakota. USA.

Thats really far behind (Time Zone), so I usually have to wait until around dinner time for them to post new stuff. Worth the wait though.

I never actually checked what time zone they are in. Would probably save alot of time checking it all the time.

"Geek and you shall find..."

The CSS Vault. One of the two sites (Gadgetopia also) I visit daily. The only source for inspiration. Seriously, if you want to be an excellent web designer (I do!!), you have to use css. Its the new Black!

I needed a site that linked to all the great CSS resources out there on the web. I couldn't find a site that combined those two elements, so I created one myself.

Excellent Stuff. The Archives are Huge.
