php MT weirdness

Monday, July 21st, 2003

yack. apparently i’m having an issue with spitting out php as my suffix for building the site, and the links generated by “recent comments”, as well as new comments now showing up! i’m working on that now.

it’s all jacked up.

UPDATE: aight, fixed that. grr. gotta be careful!

i redid my wife’s blog. she asked for pink the first time so i obliged, but i never was really feeling it…to pepto-bismolly. so i took a crack at just redoing the thing to something that she could maybe stand for a while. she’s mad picky, but i hope she digs it when she wakes up and checks it out. ;) shoot it looks better than all 3 of my layouts! it has the simplicity that i wanted. it’s crazy basic, but i like the colours more.

CSS2 is hard, annoying, and only 3/4 works properly (yeah i know it’s an implementation not a design issue). Mozilla is the definite winner in the “do what i tell you to do” category of rendering css.

i love it when a plan comes together

Just finished an engagement. They have extended the contract. The project went well–on time and on budget. I love a project like this.

There was trust on the PM’s end that the developers knew what they were doing and could produce competent estimates, and trust on the developer’s end that the PM was willing to listen, and knew how to handle a schedule and ask the right questions on the development project.
