Shattered Reality

I really want another Fiber One bar,  but my digestive track is screaming, “NOOOO!!!” But my taste buds scream, “YESSSSSSS!!!!!!”

Did this warrant an entry all on its own? Probably not.

You’re going to notice more posts relating to geeky stuff and, more specifically, Web development. For those who don’t know, I do web development for a living, and now the company I work for has given each of us a blog on our internal server. Each of us use it to post tips and writings about things pertinent to our jobs, and some of those things might be useful to people outside of our team, so I’m going to share some of my posts here.

For those who haven’t jumped on the wagon yet, you can grab my RSS feed to stay up to date with posts.

If you’re here just for the technical stuff (or just want to read about certain topics), you can browse the categories you want from the list on the right.

Here’s a handy little shortcut for jumping around your code in Dreamweaver:

Ctrl+G

Hit this and enter a number to Go to that line. Great for quickly jumping to a line of code in a CSS (or other) file. I use this all the time when debugging my code and I’m inspecting elements in Firebug.

I think so. Who wouldn’t love waking up like this every morning?

Now, the real question: is it worth $50?

Wakka wakka wakka.

Err, well, I’m back in the game, anyway. Shattered Reality was down for a few days due to switching around my server, but it’s back up and running, and with a fresh new look!

Who doesn’t want to be as cool as the guy behind xkcd? In a recent blog post, he decided Ask.com’s viral marketing campaign could use a twist. To help him in his quest, I present to you the following:

THE ALGORITHM CONSTANTLY FINDS JESUS
THE ALGORITHM KILLED JEEVES
THE ALGORITHM IS BANNED IN CHINA
THE ALGORITHM IS FROM JERSEY

Thanks to Amy for the link.

I sat down to write this post four hours ago. It did not get written four hours ago. Instead, I was distracted by the new version of Wordpress (v2.2). I went to download it, as I’m sure I’m overdue for an update; but before I installed it, I wanted to get it set up locally to test because I hate updating and having it end up broken. Turns out I haven’t copied this site to my local server yet, so I started doing that. Of course, that had to be problematic, so after a while of putsing around with my WAMP install, I downloaded the EVE-Online 14 day trial and became thoroughly distracted.

I have not played enough of EVE to make a solid review, but I plan to play it some more over the next week or two and really get a feel for the game. I still wish upon wishes that Guild Wars wasn’t so boring; I’ve tried time and again to get into it, but it just lacks any kind of pull (aside from a beautiful world). Star Wars Galaxies had such potential, but they killed that real quick. Asheron’s Call is dwindling away after 7 some years in the industry. I hear Vanguard is pretty good, and that LotRO is worthwhile, too. I actually watched the Grammys with someone who was (is?) working on LotRO; that was really cool. (Oblivion is still fun, but it lacks human interaction being a single player title.)

(My writing felt really forced tonight; I’m out of practice :/)

I did not get the photo pass to shoot Brand New back in March. Maybe that’s why I haven’t updated in nearly two months: my saddened state has left me feeling less that… writer-ish?

Hmm….. life’s good. Stressful parts, as always, but good nonetheless. Well, except for having strep two weeks ago. That was less than good, contradicting my aforementioned “nonetheless.”
