So like 12 years ago, I wrote a song about Java
I don’t know why I’m not asleep right now. I got distracted and was looking through old stuff, and apparently I wrote a song about Java a long time ago. So I’m gonna post it, because the internet is for po…sting songs about java.
I met it in a program due the week
before last, and it's future is looking quite bleak
oh the data

Failing to load a large Drupal database locally on your Mac Mountain Lion system
OK, so technically this could apply to non-Drupal databases, but Drupal was my particular issue here. Had a new hard drive, trying to get all of my sites up, and was having a tough time with a several gig large Drupal database. When it’s pretty big, you’ve gotta load it into MySQL via the command line. And, I was getting this error:

OMG I am in love with SVG graphics + CSS transitions
So let’s just say that this is my first time working with SVG. Never touched the stuff before, but I’d heard the rumors. So, SVG? It’s a graphic generated from code that you can actually read, all living in an XML file. So I can make a graphic, and if I’m feeling like a bum and don’t want to open Illustrator or whatever, I can just pop open that ( Read more... ) -
An Update on Things
So as it now stands, in a little less than 2 weeks, I’m back to being on my own again. Chris has a really good opportunity to move to Florida, and as right now the only thing that’s holding him in CO is me, he’s going to take that opportunity. It’s more or less breaking my heart, but I have to agree that this will be really good for him, and I wish ( Read more... ) -
Adventures in Tumors
The following may be TMI for anyone who falls into that teeny venn diagram slice where “male” and “wussy” overlap. You have been warned!
So, a little while back, I started bleeding and didn’t stop for 2 months. At points it was very light, but nonetheless, still blood. I’d had a yearly exam 8 months prior, and while I had had to get a colposcopy, ( Read more... ) -
Graveyard.css, or Where I’m Putting Old Code Out to Pasture
So I’ve been doing a lot of code cleanup as of late. Meaning I’ve been going through a rather large CSS file and trimming the fat, not to mention doing a bunch of theming changes. I really hate commenting things out as a regular practice, as it looks ugly and still takes up space. Now and then, sure, but when you’ve got hundreds of lines of code in ( Read more... ) -
Oh hey, I made a sealife painting
So this is the sort of thing that I paint when I want to paint something but don’t have any sort of super strong vision.

How I finally figured out how to deal with stupid overflowing text
So I have randomly come across this issue where I’ve got text that needs to fit into a specific area - not all the text needs to show, but enough of it so you know what’s going on there, content-wise. This seems to happen with table data, and of course I’ve got to deal with how the content moves around on smaller screens - and usually it’s a case ( Read more... )
