Okay, so I like have this GLUE theme, right? And it’s like, totally based on my website and stuff.

Well, see – I’m like trying to do the layout without resorting to tables – cuz I totally did it that way on my site, but – like, I might have to, you know, NOT do it that way, since we need these things to look good in IE and stuff. Unless I can, like, totally find a killer way to make it work, I’ll like, end up putting the left and right columns into a table so we don’t end up with those totaly bogus margin problems in IE. You know, I can be like totaly – “what-ever dude” about it on my own site, but not here and stuff.

So anyway – here’s the first rough GLUE theme based on hooloovoo.net, but I still have a lot of work to do on it. The screen shot was taken with Mozilla.

Edit: I pulled the screenshots down, since the theme is now part of GLUE 1.0 RC1

(You don’t even want to see how IE mangles it.)

Okay, check this out. I found it on User Friendly’s LotD

Here’s an excerpt from the page:

[Quote] The Wooden Mirror project is an art installation, and as such the goals leading to its creation are a bit vague. The piece explores the line between analog and digital. In the essence of the piece is the notion of inflicting digital order on a material that is as analog as it gets — wood. [Quote]

So I’m the latest GLUE design/test monkey. (I was just a test monkey before.)

After a few hours spent trying to get Jabber to work, (with moderate success – I was able to chat with Gossip a bit,) I’ve just started playing with a GLUE theme.

I’m also going take a look at the templates and see how much I can screw with the basic layout. This should be fun.

Bleargh

I just was working on a gallery page for the rafting photos. I was testing the javascript out when I closed the page in the editor without saving. I hate it when I do stupid stuff like that.

I suddenly don’t feel like working on it anymore. I think I’ll go make dinner now. Avocado and chicken quesadillas – yum.

Rafting Photos

I got the first of my rafting photos back.

This set is from one of the professional photographers in the area. Basically, as you are going down the river, there are stations set up at some of the more popular rapids. A photographer snaps a few shots, and you can go look at proofs the next day. Order the ones you want, and they are mailed to you a few weeks later.

There are 3 companies that had photos of us. This one works digitally, so the turn-around time is much faster than the others — and you can view and order additional prints online.

This is from a series of 6 photos that were just delivered on CD-ROM. (I took the time to resize and upload them to my web server. If you want to see larger versions, let me know.) I’ll be creating an interface to view the others on my web site. However, I’ve re-named them in a logical fashion, so you can probably figure out the URIs for the others without too much work. 🙂

I’m in the back of the boat, on the side closest to the camera. The dude up in the air was the guide. He was toying with the idea of doing a back-flip into the river at the bottom of this rapid. He bailed at the last second.

I found this [Link] off of Dom’s rant on Megatokyo this morning. Makes for some interesting reading.

I think the categories chosen to put this entry in will make sense if you read it.

Oh yeah – it’s text-only, a blog about a video store clerk’s daily adventures, but may not be sutible for work, or small children.

Could Hollywood hack your PC?: “Congress is preparing to consider a proposal that would authorize copyright holders to disable PCs used for illicit file trading–a step critics say amounts to vigilante justice.”

There’s a great quote about halfway through the article:

[Quote] “I think it’s wildly overreaching,” Litman said. “Copyright owners are in essence asking Congress to say that peer-to-peer file trading is such a scourge, is so bad, that stopping it is more important than enforcing any other laws that federal or state governments may have passed on computer security, privacy, fraud and so forth.”

Litman said that even if a copyright holder accidentally deleted a home video titled “Snow White,” the owner of that computer could be out of luck. “Unless I can show economic harm, I can’t even be compensated,” Litman said. “Even if I want to be compensated, I have to jump through procedural hoops.” [Quote]

[Quote] PHP 4.2.2 is out: “The PHP Group has learned of a serious security vulnerability in PHP versions 4.2.0 and 4.2.1. An intruder may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the web server. This vulnerability may be exploited to compromise the web server and, under certain conditions, to gain privileged access.
