it's the last day before a week's much-needed vacation.
i spent this morning pulling apart the scrapbook for the cox wing that the dean asked me to redo. i can't tell you how hard it was for me *not* to steal a picture so that i had something to draw a mustache and horns onto and some teeth to blacken in. but alas, i resisted.
this afternoon, someone sent an email talking about "the goofs at netscape" and how netscape always breaks all the css stuff he tries to do. uh. yeah. i think you have that backwards, there, buddy. my reply:
>Actually, it's the goofs at Microsoft that have it all screwed up for everyone. Mozilla (and presumably Netscape), for the most part, is one of the most standards-compliant browser out there. MS/IE, on the other hand, just does it's own thing - ignoring the W3C and the call for standards adherence to make designers' lives easier.
> At least Mozilla has new updates being released...
> Long live Mozilla! (Anyone else have periodic urges to write a worm to install Mozilla on everyone's machines and set it as default browser? Perhaps losing some market share would shake things up in Redmond.) ;)
obviously the guy's a designer on a pc. granted, so'm i, but at least i have the wherewithall to do a little bit of research on stuff before i go slamming whole groups of people - especially when he seems to have the whole thing backwards. yeah, i've got an ipod and itunes is installed on my pc. you *know* i'm being sucked in. in fact, i'd probably convert if it didn't mean buying all new software. *sigh* macromedia...would you consider a trade-in? windows for mac? (there. i've said it. but you know i tried linux and would go back to it in a heartbeat if i had more time to play...and if macromedia made dreamweaver and stuff for linux...)
but it's less than 24 hours until i leave. am i packed? not even close. of course, i have a list made...and most of my shirts are packed. pants are in the washer or dryer. i have a dress outfit. toiletries are half-packed with all the trial-sized stuff i keep in my suitcase...i just have little stuff to remember to bring - chargers for the phone, palm, ipod...laptop (if i decide i want to lug it around. heavy!)...fiddle (definitely going)...creative memories stuff that i'm taking back to sister and mom...
and of course, i'm supposed to go to dinner tonight with the so and his family...and then to caldwell to look at the redecorating on his aunt's house. looks like it's going to be a late night... oh well. i can sleep on the plane... ;)
