So, our landline hasn’t been working in about two weeks because maintenance screwed up the wiring on the intercom box (which stupidly links in with the phones).
They said it was going to be fixed last week, but wasn’t (surprise surprise). I’ve decided I’m not really going to get mad about it until after tomorrow though. There is one benefit to not having the landline the past few weeks…
It’s a race against time and sleep as I try and type this out, but I’ll do my best to summarize now and elaborate later. First of all, if you’re not using Safari 3.1+, you are missing out. This theme was designed from the ground up for Safari. There are a lot of CSS2/CSS3 effects that only Safari currently implements, including (but not limited to) rounded corners and drop shadows on boxes, text shadows, and CSS transforms and transitions. Almost every effect you see is pure CSS, and the few that aren’t are courtesy of Prototype and Scriptaculous. If you want to see the site as it was meant to be seen, grab Safari from Apple’s website. I’ll put a more in-your-face warning up soon. Everything should still be legible in Firefox, but no guarantees beyond that.
In addition, you’ll be even closer to the intended display if you’re on a Mac, as the site uses the Helvetica Neue Ultralight font almost exclusively. It will still look decent with plain old Helvetica (which is what you’ll get if you’re looking at it on a PC), but you’ll miss some of the clean lines and the integration between font and design.
While things don’t look (or act) half bad as they are, the site should still be considered beta. I’ll be working to clean up a few things and add some new functionality, but the basics should be working. Click the bar to the left to expand the sidebar and get at the links and archive. Comments should also be working without issue.
Let me know if you’re using Safari and you happen to notice something acting weird. I did take the opportunity to upgrade Wordpress to 2.5.1, so there may be something I missed.
Ok, eyelids stronger than willpower right now, time for sleep.
Maggie got me a Wii as a graduation present!
Super Mario Galaxy = Best. Game. Ever.
Anybody want a GameCube? No games or controllers, original power cable and video cable + a 3rd-party S-Video cable, and the Gameboy Player?
Opponents such as Howe argue that Colbert makes a mockery of the political process.

No, sirs and madams, you are incorrect. The political process is already a mockery, with or without Stephen Colbert. He just happens to be bringing attention to this fact.
My MacBook Pro is now the proud new home of a Seagate 160GB hard drive, which will remain pristine and untouched until tomorrow’s festivities. I’m running my system off the external enclosure I bought which now houses the old drive.
Cracking a notebook open is always so stressful, but so rewarding.
So, I watched most of Drew Carey’s first Price is Right episode today. Aside from a few “uncomfortable” moments (he forgot to explain the rules of the first pricing game, and then when it was time to call the next contestant to contestant’s row, he asked for the next item up for bid instead. Oops!), it was a lot of fun. He definitely enjoys himself, and it makes it fun to watch.
My old meyer.net address is now no longer functional. If this is the only address of mine that you know and would like more current ones, leave a comment and I’ll get ahold of you.
It is too freaking early for me to be this bored. I need caffeine.
Theme is pretty much complete, just a few tweaks over the next couple of days, comments should be working. Running on Wordpress 2.3.
Let me know if anything is messed up.
