Car paint down, window trim to go

Saturday, March 10th, 2007 | Life

Well I got my car back today. Painted. It’s not perfect but it’s pretty good for only paying $340 (which is all I would pay him). There are a couple spots that could use more color sanding and the guy told me he would do that free next weekend if I wanted. Just needs it around the edges and the water jets. Also I had him paint the lines on the car which he did paint the black lines but I had asked that he paint a small white line next to the large black ones and it seems he ended up using stickers for those, which of course is pealed up a tiny bit in one spot. I didn’t even notice it until Rob pointed it out.

Oh well, unless you are really studying the car it looks pretty good. Err… well except for the ugly ass area where there used to be a piece of window trim. I am getting sick of waiting for the assholes who replaced my glass to own up and buy me a new one like they said they would, so I will probably start calling around to junk yards and put a wanted ad on craigslist. In fact I will put up craigslist post right after I get done writing this.

For site today I woke up fairly frustrated. My site wouldn’t load at all, which I did notice quickly was a DNS issue and more or less my own fault for not changing it when the servers were moved. So I got that running but then NONE of my Smartass Education articles would load :( because it seems once again I did not have global variables. I had a fix for it before but now the fix wasn’t working. Well, this one Rob helped with, he told me to do something I had done before that had NOT worked for me before, however on the new server it did!!!! Woohoo!

Well you know me, I am not content with just fixing something I need to make it shinier. So I embedded the news feed into the webpage and then found a way to make it auto generate my sexy semi-transparent boxes. Once I got this down I decided to convert my link of the moment to a delicious account and embed that into page, and then well… I just kept adding.

The problem comes now. I want to add MORE feeds to the page. However I am not sure how I will organize it. Ok the obvious choice is call it Page 2, but that is kind of non-specific. It is nice with the speed that ajax can load shiznit though so I am thinking I will end up having a bunch of pages of other feeds and will make it so you can set cookie to memorize which feeds you want on which page.

Well whatever. I missed beer fest today. It’s going tomorrow too, but I was unaware that it was only from 2-6. It also costs $35 to get in, though that does give you 24 drink tickets. I figured it would go on all night long, Just like a good ol’ Wisconsin Beer Tent. Sigh

Well good times
