css struggles

Posted in Uncategorized at 22:19

After a lot of work, I finally got my website to look decent in IE for Windows (it was working in everything else before, including IE for Mac.) I haven’t uploaded the changes yet so it still looks bad, but I will do so when I get my template system and an alpha release of my blog code running. In English that means my website should be coming soon. Finals week is busy so it may be a couple weeks plus.

In other news, Ashley and I will be leaving for Colorado next Saturday. We should be getting back a week from tomorrow. Unfortunately, my car’s alternator died today. Yay for AAA. It seems to be a relatively cheap part to replace, and something I can do my self. Plus the parts store has it in stock so I can probably do it tomorrow after church. Yay for Jen driving this week.

I’ll post in a couple days about the chaos of packing to go home while taking finals, and a reflection of my spiritual journey at APU. But for now, these are a few of my favourite things:

Libraries Are My Friend

Posted in Uncategorized at 02:27

So I’ve basically spent the entire day in libraries, working on an eight-pager due tomorrow. And I have discovered a profound truth: libraries promote focus (to an extent) and sanity. If I try to work on a paper in my dorm like I am now (one library closed at 2100, the other at 0100,) I end up wasting time on other things like I am now, or getting frustrated. But in the libraries, I am able to focus (to an extent) for hours on end. Unfortunately, I cannot completely focus, because I get distracted by my sources and read more than necessary, resulting in a lack of pages to show for my hours in the library. Anyone else have this issue? Any solutions? Comments or trackbacks appreciated. ;)

Changes to LE

Posted in Uncategorized at 11:40

Lately I’ve been making some changes to my blog, partially because it really needs help, and partially in anticipation of a new blog. I plan to encorporate some of the trendy new features of blogging into it, like permalinks; comments; trackbacks; and tagged links, posts, and images. I might even pretend I am capable of using the English language properly—with capitalisation, proper spelling and grammar, fewer ellipses, and legitimate proofreading. I will also try (no promises) to post more frequently and make it more interesting. All this while maintaining strict xhtml and css compliance and cross-browser compatability. A tall order, but the future of my boring little blog is bright.

The Sunday Post

Wisdom of the Day: oversleeping *will* make one late.

God is so faithful. just when we think we’re forgotten, He blesses us. The Knowledge of God is such a sweet fragrance…it’s expensive, but so precious. it doesn’t come from the Bible. through it, maybe, and with it. I don’t want to know about God…I just want to know Him. unlike cologne you can never put on too much. it doesn’t cover up other smells, it burns them away. so subtly sweet, like soft heavenly music. mmm…
