Student: I am just the shell of the man I once was.
Master: So did you keep the good part or bad?

Student: Beat up again.
Master: Better than beat down.

Once upon a time (in the Allaire days) I was heading up the effort to create a CFUG in Knoxville but that’s another story. MacroMedia now owns ColdFusion until Adobe finishes the buyout or merger or has that fallen through or already happened? Anyone, using the wonderful world of Google Maps you can now visually find a MacroMedia Users Group. Nice!

Always, always! Check the seat before sitting down.

BOULDER, Colo. – Home Depot was sued by a shopper who claims he got stuck to a restroom toilet seat because a prankster had smeared it with glue.

The Hardest Riddle On The Internet sucked me in. I got to level 4 of 138 before I had the will power to pull away. Warning! This is fun!

If you have no tolerance for these kinds of things, apparently this is a walk-thru but I haven’t looked to confirm.

There is no reason that she could not find a husband..I mean, it is a really nice house.

Collective synchronisation:

Collective synchronisation occurs in nature when crickets start chirping in unison. In some parts of the world, fireflies blink on and off in perfect synchrony like a Christmas tree. The monthly cycles of women living together have also been known to synchronize.

I worked at an office staffed mostly by women and there was a particular time each month that simply behooved having a ready supply of chocolate. When Sarah gets a little older the boys and I are going to have to have a monthly camping trip. But anyhow, the article is about bridges.

Two constants in the world of programming: "Two weeks" and "Close of business"

From the client’s perspective both of these mean "I have a commitment and I will take great pleasure in demeaning you when you miss them. I will dangle your check above you and belittle you."
From the programmer’s perspective it means "shutup. I’m trying to work."

Of course I’m not being serious. When I say two weeks or cob I mean it.

Funny things that we might see in Denver‘s future headlines:

• "We had a great school system and then the parents started forgetting to bring their kids to school."
• "Violent crime waaay down man"
• "Horticulturally related enterprises up"
• "Homeland Security Investigates Sudden Rise of Fertilizer Sales in Colorado"
• "Denver population increases from 554636 to ‘most of the US’ overnight"
• "Denver tax revenues increase exponentially for some unknown reason"
• "Denver tires of the Mile ‘High’ City joke"
• "In today’s irony: Denver paper shortage prompts legalization of large hemp crops"
• "Jay Leno fails to deliver coherent monologue because he was laughing so hysterically"
• "Willie Nelson and Jimmy Buffett jointly open The 420 Karoke Bar and tell Schwarzenegger, Stallone and Willis ‘[they] can have the planet. We’ve got Denver!’"

Today is World Usability Day

World Usability Day was created to help everyone know more about the ways to help create a better user experience of our world.
…
we have collected stories about "everyday usability" – examples of the simple ways that technology is Making It Easy in this world.

If you have ever come across a product that was confusing or just did not work as expected, you can print a usability violation form and let the manufacturer, software developer, or other business know.

Apparently <iframe><iframe></iframe></iframe> doesn’t work particularly when the iframes are named the same. Basically the source of the iframe was dynamically including itself.. Come on Homer! Say "Doh!"

I am trying to implement an IFRAME but with some content the iframe is showing the scrollbar full as if there is no content below the fold. The iframe is defined as:

<iframe src="<?php echo $contentfile; ?>"
    name="viewportname"
    width="<?php echo $_SESSION['userwidth']-2; ?>"
    height="<?php echo $_SESSION['userheight']-201; /* 131 */ ?>"
    align="top"
    marginwidth="0"
    marginheight="0"
    scrolling="auto">
    <h2>Content requires iframe compatible browser</h2>
</iframe>

For presentation purposes it sits in this structure:

<html>
...
   <body>
      <div>
      </div>
      <div>
         ...iframe here...
      </div>
      <div>
      </div>
   </body>
</html>

Anyone see anything glaringly wrong?

Student: I’m ruined.
Master: What next?

Women’s restrooms may get couches but men’s restrooms are more fun (safe for work).

Student: I am so tired.
Master: In the end you will rest.
