Web-full Weekend

10.12.2003

This weekend was my attempt to catch up on little web projects that have been nipping at my heels for what seems like forever. I think I finally played around with some diffeent header images for this site that I can live with for a while. I managed to finally get the redesign for Brandi's website done, although it's lacking the full database backend that I was hoping for - That database is just taking too long to get everything together.

I even managed to watch a little wrestling Sunday. Sunday Night Heat is traditionally the bottom of the barrel for WWE programming(underdone only by Velocity), but they were showing a Dudley Boyz match that was pretty good. I even got a kick out of them using the same old gimmicks. Much like "stunners and beer" for Stone Cold, the Dudleys will generally give you a "Get The Table Wassup 3-D". Sunday night they did just that, and it made me smile.

Dork-O-Meter

10.10.2003

I'm stuck in .NET hell today, but I found a link ranking the 10 dorkiest hobbies. I can only really admit to having 4 of them as a hobby at one time or another. But I'm not telling which ones!

Boring Designs

10.08.2003

After looking at the site the other day, I noticed how the same old graphic has been up in the header for nigh on a year now. It was neat and cool when I first started playing around with some of the effects in Paint Shop Pro, but after a while it gets old. And boring.

So what do I do? I put up something even more plain. Lots of blue. But I changed the header not so much for the look, but to try out a site search engine. I downloaded dgsearch a couple of months ago but haven't really used it. I had previously used phpDig for a couple of sites, but I was wanting to try something new. With my limited playing around, dgsearch seems pretty cool. It's configured right now to crawl the static pages and blog entries for searches (but no searhing for babe names for the links to the pics!). I've still got to figure out how to set it up to search the DVD database. There's all kinds of ways to configure it, and I'm just starting to play around with it, so there's no telling what searches will find (when I'm not breaking things!) for a while.

Plus, I've got to get inspired to come up with abetter overall graphic for the top. It's all just a little too BLUE. I've been reading a lot about CSS lately, so maybe I can come up with something cool using the style sheet?

Oooooh Yeah!

10.07.2003

Today marks the release of Macho Man Randy Savage's Rap Album.

Beware the oncoming swarm of locusts.

Don't get me wrong, Randy's my man and all, but I thought wrestlers gave up making music after Hulk Hogans Rock-n-Wrestling cartoon back in the 80's.

<strike>402</strike> 390

10.06.2003

After getting over the shock of finding out just how huge I really am, I've gotten on track to do something about it. So, after about 2 weeks I've dropped from 402 to 390. 12 pounds. It probably sounds like a lot, but it only equates to a 3% loss.

But still, it's 12 freakin' pounds!

The key to how I've done it so far:

Eating smallerportions.

Slim Fast for breakfast (I hate to say it, but those things have way to much sugar in them).

Having Strep Throat The Strep should be mostly out of my system after today, so I'll see if I can keep up the weight loss without it. Otherwise, I may have to go smooching on the strep infected.

Just because it caught my eye, some Australian seats are getting wider to accomodate the larger assed. It makes me long for the day I can fit into a booth at Logans again.

On a side note, I continue the tradition of not speaking to Jerry on this day. Long live Adidas running suits!
