First the good:
* March 19th is the birthday of both Big Dave Etzold and Karina Manoim, good folks who are making their respective ways in the Big Apple. A toast to them and three cheers-or is it six cheers?
* It was this day 10 years ago that I got the Tennessee state highpoint, Clingman's Dome! Which should be a good thing.
The Bad
* After the aforementioned state highpoint began the fabled "stolen van" fiasco, whose harrowing tale I need not recount again. Though I could put in the good category that as a direct result, I had to marry Christina so we could buy a pack of cards. Sure, we only see each other once every 7 years but it seems to be working out better than most marriages.
As far as I know, we're still legal on Indian Reservations.
This year's March 19th started out with an mind blurring bang as I was here at the offices of Natural Habitat Adventures making the final flash builds on our good nature web site (see the beta version here). For the techies out there, its a fairly complicated process. First you need the webpage, then a second webpage to embed the Flash and link it via iframes (for whatever reason, I couldn't get the native Flash to read the CSS style sheet it was looking for). THEN make the external text and css files to make sure the flash generates actual HTML text and not image text, THEN revamp the text files because there's a slight delay in the reading of Flash CSS-- THEN make sure it's aligned properly in the right page and all working (including the rare _parent tag for links as the target).
Sound boring? Not really, but I do have lawnmowers and taxes afoot so this may be my last blog entry for a while.
