dodgeball

I was excited to find out my pretend best friend plays dodgeball too. Of course, in our pretend life we both play, but it's always good when real life overlaps pretend life too. The easy thing to do at this point is to write me off as crazy, but I think you should read on a bit before coming to that conclusion.

I know I haven't written in awhile, which is very disappointing to my 3 readers. (On the plus side, that represents a 300% increase since day 1). Partly it's because I've been "busy", and partly because I've had to deal with the ultimate betrayal.

Someone in my apartment building is a newspaper thief! For those who religiously pour over my every word, you may be sitting there smirking, especially given my confessional a few posts back. But let me remind you, I never actually stole a paper, I just *thought* about it once. Or twice.

I've updated the code section to have a Lightbox style effect when viewing source files. I know it's not exactly groundbreaking, but then again, it's easier to pick things up quicker when you build stuff.

As I've mentioned before, I've always kinda stayed away from Javascript, given that new browsers come out every year or so, breaking this or allowing you to utilize this one fun feature that no other browser supports.

I found $5! If you're unfamiliar with the concept (and were too lazy to click on the link), it's basically a great way to get out of awkward social situations of your own creation.

A quick example:

Owen: So the other day I was driving around town, and Faith came on the radio. I know it's not really a full on 80's power ballad, but man I was so into it!

I know Thunderstruck isn't technically an 80's song, but I'm still counting it.

I can happily say the database conversion is all done, and as such it feels fit to add yet another empathic, but likely empty promise to never again do it again.

In regards to inline images/media, I'm unhappy with the implementation I have, and it doesn't look like (on first glance) that I'll be able to create the module with the workflow I want.
