…all this traffic. Originally uploaded by ed_welker Getting away from all this traffic and signing the lease to my new place today. Woo hoo! Or at least I think woo hoo. Not going to start moving in yet, because I have a month overlap to do that. Slightly scared, however, that I am looking forward […]

So we thought we just had a solution to the IE 6 background-image flicker problem. We were trying the javascript again, but calling it from the CSS. Nope, back to intermittent searches.

Day after the Orioles make their interim manager permanent, they lose 30-3. First time any team has scored 30 runs since 1897, when Chicago (I assume the Cubs) scored 36. Way to go guys…

So I fell into the (now famous to me) Internet Explorer 6 background-image flicker problem. Oh, fun times. There have been a few different solutions presented, ranging from javascript to server settings (or my favorite [sarcasm], to put the background-image on a copy of itself so you don’t see the flicker). The problem is that […]

The Seattle Symphony has hired 4 concertmasters. This is rather odd, and Gerard Schwarz didn’t even really give a good reason why in the interview… other than European orchestras not having a set concertmaster/mistress. Can’t imagine what the reason would be…

Another day with a considerable chunk WASTED on IE6. What a totally irresponsible release.

I created a fresh installation and played around with it for a little while. Upon moving these WordPress posts over, it broke. Since I still had all of my pieces lined up, I removed everything and did a second fresh install. Posting broke that one too. I guess that I am going to have to […]

Upon seeing a few different write-ups in the last few days (that I stumbled upon without searching for), I think that I’m going to [already] change this blog software to ExpressionEngine, which I hear is the most customizable tool out there. It’s not that I am planning on doing crazy design things here, but I […]

So I got the domain, I got the hosting, and I have the blog. I just need a few hours (ha!) to design the site, and put the blog in it. Yea… For the moment, I’ve decided to go with this theme… I like the yellow, and its fairly simple. Simple is good. I don’t […]
