Are we happy campers yet?

There. I think the site is not only cross-browser compatible now, but liquid in resolution as well (Except for 600×400… come on dudes, it’s the 21st Century!).

I plead “laziness”, to be honest with you. Faith has been on my case about this for a while now (and she’s right, and she knows I know better)… but I never had the time. I just slapped this together, using one of Deb’s templates, and that was that.

In a professional gig, yes, I’ll spend the next week or so running cross-browser compatibility & resolution checks, make acceptable sacrifices to the overall design… but a personal weblog? Hell, I’ll never take that seriously.

No, I would never tell someone to change their browser. I’ve always believed it’s the designer’s job to make the site work for the viewer, not the other way around.

Happy Birthday Dr. King

See? I remembered *somebody’s* birthday this week. Maybe I’m not so senile after all. 😛

Comment Permalinks in MT

I just added permalinks to the comments.

There’s a bunch of tutorials out there, but I forgot to bookmark them, so, like an idiot, I had to do it FROM scratch.

Here’s what I did:
In your Comment Listing Template

  • First you need to make an Anchor for each comment entry. Find where it says:<$MTCommentBody$>

    And change it to:
    <a name=”<$MTCommentID pad=”1″$>”></a>
    <$MTCommentBody$>

  • Next, make the permalink. For the sake of argument, I put it at the end of the comment, after the date (<$MTCommentDate$>). You can put it anywhere you want. The code for the permalink is:<a href=”<$MTCGIPath$>mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=<$MTEntryID$>#<$MTCommentID pad=”1″$>”>Link</a>
  • So there…

    While we all slept…

    … a couple of hotties in blogland made a few moves.

    Jewdez made the jump FROM Geocities to www.jewdez.com – [blogroll Jewdez!]

    Tammie came back for 2003 (like she promised) with a brand new blog: My Little Ones – [blogroll Tammie!]

    Batgrl (whom I’ve targeted for “stalk a blogger weekend”) has finally put me in CHECK mate and countered with a post that I *HAVE* to agree with & wish I can continue the discussion here… just go there… NOW! [blogroll Batgrl!]

    *goes back to the lab rebuilding his 5-year legacy on the web*

    DOH!!!!

    You people made Nico Cry!!! You forgot it was his birthday yesterday!!!

    How could you???

    Well, um… I forgot too.
    And it seems his brother isn’t too sure of his age. So, uhm, Happy belated birthday?

    Two words: BIRTHDAY ALARM, PEOPLE!!!!! DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!!!!

    Yes. I know that was five or six.
    Don’t fuck with me today.
    ***// Edited 7:33 PM //*******************
    Since I am a sucky excuse for a human being, much less a friend…
    I offer this lame-o Belated birthday gift, since I know he loves cats so much…
    I re-present (for a limited time): MY CAT, PUDDY
    ***// End Edit //*******************

    Stalk a Blogger weekend continues…

    You know…
    It’s not that I MEAN to pick on the adorable & nefarious Batgrl this weekend, but this one just fell INTO my lap!

    While we all feel the sorrow of the “Mysterious One” with her sad story of the death of the Legendary Pancake Bunny…

    I counter it with this…
    “Woman kept at bay by ferocious rabbits”

    I just had to fix the archives of this story by request of about 175 online readers. Some programming error happened and the story didn’t print.

    I really gotta read my own paper more often.

    Cutesy-ness ahoy!

    HAH!!!! Not to be outdone by Batgrl and her Sleestak (it’s also the plural like “deer” and “moose”. I never knew that.).

    I give you…

    experiment #626

    He’s bulletproof, fireproof, designed to destroy everything in his path.
    He’s also cute and fluffy.

    If you can sit through this movie, and not cry (even once)… I can only come to one conclusion:

    You are a terrible person.

    I will hunt you down, and test your tear ducts by putting cigarettes out in your FRIGGIN EYEBALLS! I will MAKE YOU CRY one way or another, you heartless, evil HORROR of a human being!!!!!

    You make me sick.
    Bastards.

    Two thumbs up (and a tissue) for Lilo & Stitch.
    I shouldn’t have to EXPLAIN to you why.

    Because I can’t afford Zeldman’s consultation fee

    Warning: If you recently had a loved one croak on you… you need to SERIOUSLY skip this thread.

    While the Mrs. is reading and goofing on the local paper (you know, the one I work for???)… I hear her and her yenta friends howling like banshees downstairs over an ad:

    SHARE MEMORIES.
    Visit our online obituaries.”Share memories???? What the hell is THAT supposed to mean??!!??!
