Rules of web design  
The first rule of web design should be: Never test your content box with an uninterrupted string of 75 As.

The reason for this should be obvious. Unfortunately, it clearly is not. The reason for this is that your browser will not insert a space in words unless you put one there first.

I am very tired of explaining this concept fifteen times to the same five people.

  • 05:28 I can't decide if I wanted to get up at 3:30 because I'm stressed out or because I'm still not adapted to the time change. #
  • 05:41 @tryslora I forced myself to sleep another couple hours, but I got up at 5, and it was all crappy sleep. Think I'm a touch stressed out. #
  • 05:46 I'm willing to bet that I'm insufficiently triangulating on text-indent to make it work. Which is odd because I'm sure I've got it. Bastards #
  • 05:54 @tryslora The part where I entered a coma at 9:30 is the other cue. I mean, seriously, I could not keep my eyes open. Utter coma. #
  • 05:58 @tryslora No, I slept so well from 9:30-3:30 that I didn't even know I'd fallen asleep - was going to do more work. After that, it sucked. #
  • 07:03 @tryslora It may just be SITTING there. Does the user say if it's doing anything? Recycler just sits there on a Mac, I found out. #
  • 07:55 *sighs* The code that I'm required to write hurts my soul. A lot. #
  • 08:17 There are not enough hours in the damn day. #
  • 08:37 On top of everything else, IJ clearly has swine flu and is not delivering my replies. May be slow at that. #
  • 16:16 Now caught up on back homework in 161; I have a whole 8 hrs to do the two assignments due tonight. I rule ... the land of procrastination. #
  • 19:13 @tryslora What happened?? #

  • 22:04 Now that I've become more aware of usability and site design, badly-designed sites piss me off. I can do so much better. #
  • 07:04 A ninja in high heels: Comedy gold, or proof of the awesome of ninja? Can they silence the tap of the shoe as they walk, or not? #
  • 08:15 @utopiancaptive Everyone you work with is insane! Srsly, who does that? #
  • 13:55 Bank visited, checks ordered, tire fixed, food purchased, Spencer-treats purchased... my mood is improving. Also: cupcakes and Ghostbusters. #
  • 19:37 I swear.to.god, I am going to buy a house JUST so I have control over the quality of the outlets. You know, so that things STAY PLUGGED IN. #

  • 08:24 @tamewhale I do figure there's going to be a horrifying yet funny story in there somewhere. #
  • 09:12 When all else fails, Carl Sagan is an awesome mood-lifter. #
  • 09:33 @andyoubegin I'm seriously going to get SOMETHING from A Still More Glorious Dawn on my other wrist. Maybe reread Cosmos and look there. #
  • 11:49 I am plumbing new depths of "totally unimpressed", people. I'm hoping to find gold down here or something. (Not WtWB, to be clear.) #
  • 11:59 Actually, I just want to reply to the unimpressive comment by saying "Wow, have you ever heard of a third wheel?" #
  • 12:01 I don't know. I know I used to have some equanimity around here SOMEWHERE, but it seems to be out today. #
  • 13:46 @apiphile Yeah. I don't do plans either. Just tell everyone they're invited for the 30th and the 31st and then they have to go away. #
  • 18:24 @utopiancaptive It's even more fun than the stickering. It's totally nutty of me that I take that as crack. *g* #

  • 20:28 I'd like a tap that dispenses tonic water instead of regular water, honestly. #
  • 15:09 Can life please just stop happening to me? It pretty much fucking sucks entirely, and I really don't know what to do now. #

  • 22:37 @andyoubegin That's no tranny. <--Say it like Obi-Wan! #
  • 08:43 Conspiracy theories have genre names. (My favourite is False-Flag Operations.) Who named them? #
  • 16:42 @utopiancaptive Awesome! I have a question for you, but I have to wait for it to return on track 8 to the train station. Been mathinating. #

  • 20:27 Okay, tuxedo-ruffled hoodies are JUST PLAIN WRONG, AMERICA. #
  • 22:28 @utopiancaptive Don't worry - we all know this to be true already. But the James thing can function as an excuse if it helps. #
  • 16:20 @andyoubegin It's totally better with bread crumbs, though. Next time, we get out the entourage and go to 13 Coins. #
  • 16:33 Okay, yes, creepy, but my reaction is really SHOW ME THE APOSTROPHE, BITCHES. bit.ly/3QRDrl #editor4life #
  • 16:33 .@andyoubegin ...you are totally free to call if you want to. *g* We don't HAVE an entourage, but that's why god invented tasers. #
  • 18:12 In a world that contains Piers Anthony, Unseen Academicals still has the worst play on words ever. Win! #
  • 19:46 I am taking a motherfucking vacation from responsibility tonight. #

  • 23:19 I'm pretty much waiting for Spencechilla to turn into a facehugger. One of these days, this will happen. I'll name him Renesmee on that day. #
  • 09:01 @apiphile No, I would be too busy laughing. Guy in my middle school thought he was a dog; I'm programmed to laugh now. #
  • 11:31 It is a totally normal occurrence of my life that today I must buy thigh-high stockings and a toilet seat. Preferably not at the same store. #
  • 11:32 And also pick up Unseen Academicals which I did not even know was OUT, holy shit, internet, what are you for if not for keeping me aware-- #
  • 11:34 --of the fact that PTerry has a new book out and hopefully it won't suck though I get a very Moving Pictures vibe and I dislike that one. #
  • 11:44 I think I just witnessed tweet-rot. Fabulous. Or else four people simultaneously deleted tweets. #
  • 13:50 Holy Jesus shit. I just looked at my phone bill from September. A) I talk A LOT. B) I owe a lot of money. #
  • 14:07 @tryslora 460 min @ .40/min. IOW, $185.00. #
  • 15:25 The worst part of colds is that I feel great, but I still sound like Annie Sullivan if she decided to take up coal mining. #
  • 15:26 And the worst part of that joke is when people ask who Annie Sullivan was. It makes me want to kill myself. No, wait, them. #
  • 15:26 But ever since Zoolander, no one's had a problem with the coal-mining part of that joke. Ben Stiller is better known than Annie Sullivan. #
  • 15:27 All of which means that the world is wrong. Bad and wrong, kind of like an evil puppy. #
  • 15:39 @tryslora At the party last night, someone laughed and then said "Who's Annie Sullivan?" Then I pointed out I had a baseball bat. #
  • 15:56 @jamethiel_bane Not with a tubercular cough. And the ? that got me was "Who's Annie Sullivan?" not "Which Annie Sullivan?" #

  • 08:30 So, I see we're making up for the summer's drought in two days. Am seriously concerned about party tonight; may be flooding on my route. #
  • 08:48 @tryslora I almost did that once, it really sucked. #
  • 08:48 Seriously - it's darker now than it was at 7 am. #
  • 09:32 @andyoubegin Are you at work today? Also, it's clearing up a bit here, maybe that's a good sign. If you're home, call me. #
  • 12:48 @ashes_and_mist You have an email. *g* I also want time to think about the comment thread. #
  • 12:55 Christ, I'm shoppinating again. This time, it WILL end with blood. And a sale. This I vow! #
  • 14:20 I think I just gave myself a bigger headache to sort out. I will deal with that as soon as anyone figures it out. #
  • 18:33 @tryslora @utopiancaptive Sorry to be a dick, guys; tagging on respective things needs to wait. Will try tonight when I flee party in fear. #
  • 18:34 Note to self: "fleeing" a party is very different from "feeling" a party, even if it IS all the same letters. #
  • 18:55 @utopiancaptive That group thread; need to tag in with Ro. #
