157: Mind Tricks…

…only work on those with minds to trick.


And When I Win the Lottery…

I hate doing this, but work is proving to be a bigger pain in the butt than previously suspected.  I would go into my tale of woe, but seriously, it’s just me whining, then, and I really don’t like that.

I should have all of the really obnoxious stuff out of the way in the next few days (I’ve heard this before somewhere) and can get back to posting properly.  So, here’s what I’ll do, For the rest of September (9/14-10/2) I’ll post Monday, Wednesday, Friday. That should make up for this weeks unexpected vacation. Granted, I might need another vacation right after that, but we’ll burn that bridge when we get to it.

Right then. I’ll see you on Monday, but for now it’s back to re-re-writing my syllabus and lesson plans.


New Comment Thingy

The spam count has been moving up a little bit. I guess that’s good, in that spammers actually think I’m worthy of carrying their ads, but it’s also a little annoying, so I’ve added a Captcha doohicky in addition to the less obtrusive stuff in order to slow down this silliness.
I’d ask you to let me know if this gives you any problems, but how would you? I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.


Blame Canada

My wife just got back in from Canada late last night (it’s 1 AM as I type this) and I haven’t had a chance to do the comic. I also have the problem that todays comic as written needs me to remake my template, so I don’t want to just bang it out in a hurry. Rest assured, however, I’ll get it up and running by this afternoon.


More Fun with Coding

I finally got my css doing what I wanted it to. It turns out I failed to copy a / an the style sheet, and that confused the heck out of everything. I still have some more changes in mind, but I think I’ve got the big stuff out of the way. Colors may drift a bit, but I think I pretty much have things the way I want for now.

Oh, by the way, some of the appearance stuff doesn’t work in Opera or Internet Explorer. I’m sure there is a fix for it out there somewhere, but I don’t think it’s that big of a deal (I made the corners round), so I’m not going to worry about it. No functionality is lost, the site just looks a little friendlier in other browsers (i.e. Chrome or Firefox).

Right then, comics on Tuesday.


A Slight Redesign

I just updated all of the site software, and now I get to play with some of my settings. It’s right about now that I realize I really don’t know php or html at all, hence the less than impressive color scheme.
Never fear though, I’ll get that sorted out shortly.
