18-1

Wow. A guy I used to play soccer with as a kid just won the MVP in the Superbowl. For the record, I have a gripe with calling the Giants (or any team that wins the Superbowl) “World Champions”. There are no teams outside the U.S. in the NFL!

How ya gonna clap?

This past week has been a blur. Literally. Like right now. Well, not so much a blur, but hard to focus. Hard to focus my eyes, my brain, my hands.

Bars w/o Pants

Most of you live ’round here, so know what yesterday’s weather was like. For the rest of you, and for posterity, it was gross. Temp in the lower 40’s, with a RealFeel in the upper 20’s, according to AccuWeather.com. Varying levels rain from misting to not-quite-downpour.

Dr. McNinja and PHP/CSS

I’ve been noticing how on one of my favorite webcomics, Dr. McNinja, the page that displayed each comic was loading pretty slow. Before: <td valign=top><table border="0"> <tr><td align=center width="175"px><a href="page.php?pageNum=1&issue=10"> <img src="/graphics/1.gif" border=0> </a> </td></tr> <tr><td align=center width="175"px><a href="page.php?pageNum=2&issue=10"> <img src="/graphics/2.gif" border=0> </a> </td></tr> <tr><td align=center width="175"px><a href="page.php?pageNum=3&issue=10"> <img src="/graphics/3.gif" border=0> </a> </td></tr> <tr><td align=center… Continue reading Dr. McNinja and PHP/CSS
