Broke the day's fast with grilled pork and Worcestershire sauce. My phone is old (Nokia on Symbian) and cannot handle current tech. To add to its usual display problem (which body contact in the time it takes me to sing one song resolves, so far), it is falling apart. Yesterday, the volume button fell off. It is now secured in place with a piece of masking tape.

We swept behind my work desk and the dust bunnies were... HUGE! Gross. I forgot to take out the big trash bag when the garbage collector came earlier. It's full from when I cleaned out folders from college and what-nots from the cabinets. I'm purging. There are still things to go over and sort (keep, throw away or donate) but I want to get rid of this big trash bag first before I can restart my "cleanup." We can't leave it outside because it will just be messed with.

For a while there, I couldn't decide if I wanted to get Third Eye Blind's first CD or the "A Collection" CD or pick out individual songs. I re-listened to 3eb a month or so ago. Memories from college came flooding back and it was great. The band just came out at the time. A buddy handed me a tape of their first album and said, "You have to listen to this." I did and synapses in my brain rippled in a good way, it was amazing. Thanks, man. Anyway, I ended up choosing individual tracks because I might have outgrown most of the other songs. Bought "Wounded" and the last 3 tracks on the first album as well as "Jumper" which is just... no explanation needed. Happy days are here again. Dipped into my darlings' gifts fund for this. Their birthdays aren't for a few months yet so I can mturk a little harder until then to bring the balance back up.

Q: For websites with responsive designs/templates, how do you keep small images from being distorted (in other words, enlarged and pixelated = ugly) on smartphone screens? A: The simple solution is to set the width within the IMG style tag. For example: Your image is 150px-wide. To lock it at 150px (the upper limit should be the image's actual width so it will still look nice), use: <img alt="#" src="#" style="width: 150px;"> Up Next: How to center (awkward... verb) an image when the <div> or <p> elements don't work. These alignment tips from w3.org clearly explains it all. It says CSS but we can use the style code within the body's html source which sort of trumps the CSS (if you're using a template) so we can still make style changes per page. OK, here's the fix: <img src="#" alt="#" style="display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:#px;"> On a responsiv...

There is a shortage of Great Taste 3-in-1 sugar-free coffee around here! It rained today. The envelope fund/budget system + my origami envelopes from used paper = XD

Have been posting less frequently over the years. There are no new experiences to write about - good or bad (though I prefer the good). I did get extremely annoyed that someone went through a cartridge of printer ink in one week. The ink is not cheap and I would rather they economize and go outside to make photocopies instead of printing several copies in one go. When it was my turn to print something, the output was horrible and the low ink levels sign was in my face. I only print one two-page document a month, I expect everything is fine when I do.
