Satola’s Blog

Helped move yet another friend onto my hosting over the past few days. That’s awesome and CrazyBoogie’s all moved it Aside from that, I am wrapping up what I hope to be the last bug fixes for one of my new website projects. Sarah’s beta testing for me and hopefully everything works as expected. Assuming it does, it’s time to put the finished stamp on the admin portal side and start work on the public facing portions.

It’s crazy that there are so many addons for FireFox to make life on the internet easier and more fun. I am using an addon right now called “ScribeFire” which lets you blog through the addon, instead of logging into your blog. This is my first test of the application. In addition, it makes it much easier to reference websites in a post, as you can highlight what you want, right click and select Post in Blog. Ah well… we shall see the effects of this one. May lead to me actually posting more often than every week or so.

Well, thanks to Sadukie, I now remember that I forgot Pi Day… Better late then never, but stealing her image:

Well, lets start with a bit of coding issues and resolutions as of late. Apparently, Gallery2 sees http://www.website.com and  http://website.com as two different websites. So… since it has build in image leeching protection, it will protect the images from being displayed from the non www version of the site unless you specify the non www version as trusted. Of course, I did not just know this was the case and it took 30 minutes to find the setting hiding in the URL Rewrite Plugin settings, but yea… it’s working now.

<div tags suck. A CSS template I was using was written using no table tags, all DIV and P tags. I adapted it to use tables, but to help keep formatting, maintained much of the DIV tags. I ran into an issue where the cell would not display properly (and of course rendered a different wrong in IE and FF) but couldn’t figure out what the issue was.The resolution - screw DIV… Replace with tables and just use the CSS ID in the table tag instead of the DIV. Now, it loads perfectly in all browsers

IE 8 - Sucks… Come on Microsoft… You are only catching up to FireFox 2 halfway. You still don’t support half the awesome functions of FF and you never will. IE is a poor ass browser with too many security holes. Why don’t you give up and just concede that Mozilla beats you every time. I am anxious to see what FF 3 brings to the table!

It has taken a little over a year, but the web business is finally booming. I just got about 95% complete on one site this week, waiting for some DNS changes before I can finish. Got a hosting sale with a local law firm. Working on a huge redesign for Woodhill Supply. Working with a local company to make some updates to their site and the business just keeps coming. I guess it’s finally getting out that I have the best design prices in town and my hosting costs are lower than the competition. Despite lower costs, the quality is there and people are seeing that. YaY!

So, since the trade, the Cavs are 1-2 and the win was the first of the three games. The first game looked great. The last two were horrible. It seems that they are having trouble working together. Again, they did trade half their team and it will take time for them to learn to work together. Z has got to get his anger under control. It seems he gets closer to flying off the handle every time they call a foul on him. Granted, most of the fouls of recent were total bogus calls, but that doesn’t matter. When you are on the road, the refs will always call towards the home team. It’s not fair, but it’s a fact of life - deal with it.

I didn’t think I would ever say this, but I am actually proud of Mike Brown last night. After several bad calls in a row, he exploded at the refs and was actually ejected from the game. Way to stand up for your team!

They are back home today and should be practicing all day. Hopefully that helps to get the team working as a team, instead of 5 individuals running around on a basketball court.  Tomorrow they are home against the Timberwolves. This should be a decent win.

Well, it has been a while since I posted on a blog. I think last June was it when I was still using Blogger.com. Well, I have since switched over to Satola.info to build my already big ego a little more. Nothing like your name as a domain. It’s been a busy ass year so far. Web work is picking up. Cavs are kicking ass. Work’s okay. Working on getting a relationship going with Christine. So, yea… busy life. I should have time to post here a bit though, so keep an eye out.
