Redesign Continues…

December 26th, 2003 · 4 Comments

Whoa! It’s starting to look pretty good, isn’t it?
Nate is working on stylesheet stuff to implement Pepe’s ideas. My job is mostly over, for now, which was to re-structure the markup into xhtml. Now, we are shittin’ in tall cotton!
I’m truly floored by the amazing work these gents are capable of pulling [...]

Festive Up In Here

December 25th, 2003 ·

It’s 7:44 A.M. I got my Turkey on at 7. Someday I will post my recipe for the Roasted Turkey Bratton-Partee Style, but I doubt it would excite my tens of readers. You see, the key to my turkey is simplicity. The stuffing excepted, we’re only dealing with three ingredients, so [...]

Supersexy Titles

December 23rd, 2003 · 2 Comments

Today I was skimming through some entertainment news on some repulsive fucking website, and saw a blurb about the guy who managed to plant his seed into Heidi Klum when the following job title caught my eye:
Italian racecar tycoon.
If that’s not totally kick ass, I do not know what is. That, my friends, is [...]

Shrinking Blogroll

December 23rd, 2003 · 1 Comment

I can’t be certain, but I am somewhat sure that I have been removed from several reciprocal blogrolls due to my opinion of the Iraq war. Of course, it could be because this site sucks and it just took people a while to figure it out, but judging by the individuals’ beliefs, I’d say [...]

Fists of Geek Fury

December 18th, 2003 ·

When I first moved to Atlanta, I was employed by one of the first ISPs in the city. To get an idea, Mindspring, which is now earthlink, the second-largest ISP, started as a customer of this particular ISP. So we’re talking old school ISP.
One of the major benefits of being an old school [...]

So So Def Recordings Billboard

December 17th, 2003 · 279 Comments

Does anyone have a photo or a link to a photo of the So-So Def Recordings “Welcome to Atlanta” billboard? For those not exactly in the know, there’s a big flourescent billboard off of the Interstate on the way from Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport to Atlanta with a cartoon drawing of a smiling, afro-sporting dude.

Metaphor Moi

December 11th, 2003 ·

Anil Dash’s metaphor comparing a halal chicken restaraunt to the “blogosphere” is also instructive as a metaphor for the United States’s dealings with Saudi Arabia. Just replace cheap chicken with cheap oil, and it’s done.

Step Three (Continued)

December 11th, 2003 ·

Wow! That was easy. I was able to change my scripting language and output of MT with minimal fuss. Probably the best part was that I was able to put in a quick .htaccess file that automatically fixed Google. By that, I mean to say that links to my old files should [...]

Redesign Step Three

December 11th, 2003 ·

Whew! It’s getting close, at least from a “back end” perspective. As stated previously, I am moving to the PHP scripting language to handle functionality on this site. Whether or not I acutally need PHP or not is another question, but one we won’t be thinking about ever again. Never speak [...]

Redesign: Step Two, Snag Two

December 9th, 2003 · 4 Comments

Before I moan and cry about the second snag I have hit in my second step, let me problaim a huge victory. If you run the main index page of this weblog through the validator you will see that it validates as XHTML 1.0 strict. Nate helped me get there.
For those just joining, [...]

Redesign: Step Two, Snag One

December 9th, 2003 ·

So I hit my first snag in the implementation of Version 5.0. I marked up the main index template semantically, and like it. I’ll probably have to change it a bit for efficiency when I decide how to group my elements, but it looks good.
I decided to run my results through [...]

Step Two Redux

December 8th, 2003 ·

UPDATE
I’m starting the reorganization of the templates and the markup. Comments are probably going to break. Things, which are already very ugly indeed, are about to get much more hideous. Be careful.
