There was another new update for Movable Type for me to install and now I’m testing to see if I screwed anything up.
Ben and Mena work too fast! :wink

And I thought I was having some bad days lately.
On the way home at rush hour, during the traffic report, they announced that there was a car going eastward on west-bound I-40.
<Insert favorite joke here>
I miss all the fun going overland. :lol

on the website. You know Frontpage’s code *really* sucks when the easiest way to clean it is to copy the text from the displayed page and code from scratch.

I’m helping a friend redo her site with CSS, which involves cleaning up the code some (must resist urge to let validation nazi loose- she doesn’t want it :smile)
Her earlier pages aren’t bad, she did them by hand back when the Internet was young.
Her latest pages in Frontpage?
Find and Replace is my friend.

The bad luck I mean, I just talked with Lois and the director is determined to have a faculty person in that position. He’s terrified that she’s going to leave and the library will fall apart if there isn’t a trained replacement ready and waiting. Which is true, but you notice how he isn’t even [...]

from work last night, the radio didn’t announce the accident until I was already trapped behind it.
On the other hand, I saw a great bumpersticker:
“I love my country, but I fear my government.”

first, I can forget about my new cell phone because the rebate offer has expired. I didn’t get it before the rebate expired because the idiot phone company took so long to tell me what I had to do.
Second, my advisor has taken so long to get back to me that it’s too late to [...]

I had a link to a website with some excellent Photoshop tutorials but the owner took them down , I suppose for inclusion in his book. I have found another website that has pdf versions of the tutorials, I believe [...]

Notes toward an application essay Since Dorothea doesn’t have comments enabled :tongue, I’ll have to respond here. :biggrin
I should start off by explaining that I’m going into my third year of library school (part-time, ALA accredited, completely online!). Her reasons for going are very similar to mine, although she knows a lot more technologically [...]

I’ve updated to Movable Type 2.5. I think it went well. I had trouble keeping track of which files had been modded to transfer the mods over but it seems to be working well.
Let me know if something is wrong.

I’m going to sleep all weekend. It’s sad when the best I’ve felt all week was the day after I slept for 12 hours. I had energy and I was cheerful and everything.
*ignores horror from peanut gallery*
Yes, I can be cheerful, occasionally. It scares everyone who knows me, which is terribly amusing.
And I [...]

Is this still working?
I’ve upgraded to MT 2.5 and now I have to check my mods. :smile
Update: I think it worked. I’ll probably run across a huge problem in a couple of months.

On my first weekend with nothing to do and no stress to get it done, I get sick. And not a flimsy little cold either.
Life hates me.

Caveat Lector: Reader Beware!
I love Dorothea. She’s the only blogger I read that I consistently wish had comments turned on so I could add a “me too”.
She is a good writer in the way I can’t be, she doesn’t self-edit the way I find myself doing.
