• Is it any wonder?

    I don’t much feel like writing, but I’m going to anyway… idle fingers and all that…

    Let’s run down the list:
    1. Skipped shaving… check!
    2. Skipped church… check!
    3. Skipped brushing teeth… (tentative) check (yuck)
    4. Fever… negative (for now)
    5. Sense of malaise… check!
    6. Official flu diagnosis… negative (for now)
    7. Leave the grumpy, sick dad alone advisory posted… check!

    My boss is going to jump through the phone and kill me tomorrow morning, because I’m probably going to call in sick again. Forget about the cold, I’m more worried about calling in.

  • Would you like an apple?

    I thought I would check the site out from work during a break in the action, to see what it looks like through Windows. For those of you not in the know, web pages can look different with different browsers – even on the same computer, under the same operating system. So it wasn’t a big surprise when this page looked different on my Windows PC at work, via Internet Explorer. It was a bit of a surprise to find that the page was somewhat broken.

    You’re supposed to see a smorgasbord of archives in the right-hand sidebar. Instead, it appears at the bottom of the page in Windows IE.

    Mac users will find that the archives appear in the correct position, in both Safari and Firefox.

    Who would have thunk it? WordPress apparently is aware of the problem, but I’m not terribly worried.

    **Note: forget what I just said. It was only partially Windows IE. Changing the window size (making it bigger) made everything better. If you’re having trouble, just go out and buy a bigger monitor.

  • The stuff of legend

    I never thought it would happen to me. I got an email at work asking me to attend a meeting who’s sole purpose is to discuss a future meeting. That’s right friends, the meeting about a meeting is not an urban legend… it’s real. Perhaps I’ve been sheltered all of these years; sealed away in a cocoon of rarefied bureaucratic efficiency.

    Insert cynicism here.
