webvisions notes

for anyone who cares, here’s a somewhat prettified version of my webvisions notes. (yeah, yeah, crummy javascript. what can I say? it’s my weak point as a web developer.)

blabbing about nothing in particular

today it’s hot again and I’m still sleepy. I’m trying to get the big table in the front room cleared off, which means, among other things, that I have to go through a couple of years worth of poorly organized backup CDs. bleh. I’d rather take a nap or watch a movie. and the desknote [...]

the erratic nature of summer

I started an entry on my whacked sleep schedule, and being tired during the workweek and all that, and then I realized I was just repeating what I said last week. so just read that and consider that I’m in the same state. I wouldn’t’ve blogged at all, but I liked that title, and I [...]

hold onto your hat!

(I think) I’m finally going to try the WP Mingus upgrade…some bumpiness may be inevitable, but hopefully reduced by my earlier notes to myself.
