Not fair...

The one time there is reason to visit the EMP and I am not living in Seattle or planning a trip to visit Seattle between now and mid-August. And I think I missed my chance when it was in DC at the Smithsonian (left DC October 5, 2008 (okay, that's a small window of time considering we moved in about a month before the exhibit left)).

EDIT: But there is hope! James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, PA 09/05/09 - 11/29/09!!! Just an hour drive from here!!!!!! Thanks Muppets Wiki for your information! (Note to hubby - read that we MUST do this sometime fall term before or even during Thanksgiving)

Yes, there is nothing better to do at work than to surf the net - it's that slow for me.

Niecie's new toy!!

Happy Anniversary and Birthday to me! (and I guess I'll have to try sharing with Andrew...)

I think I've met my match

If you thought that I was a stubborn creature, then you should meet my cat.

This conclusion came about who gets the queen-sized bed at night last night, and he positioned himself right where I get into bed to lay down.

I should listen to my cat...

There are just some mornings (and it seems more frequent these days) that Thomas will give me the look and meow saying that I should not go to work.

Today is one of those days.

I need new work - suggestions anyone?

I wonder...

I'm starting to think that I missed my true calling in becoming a graphic designer.

Though, I'm not as artsy as I would think one should be to be a graphic designer. I just seem to be doing a lot of design work for work - using publisher and paint (I need Photoshop classes!)

Maybe it's just my anal-retentiveness at work...

I win!

So, I guess it's a good thing that I went to college and took a java programming class and a web design class...

I manage our center's website (read copy-and-paste updates to the site), and there are some bugs that we are trying to fix with the help of the people who created the site - they know the code better than us right? We've been in discussion and contract writing for the old bugs plus new updates that we would like to do that is beyond the scope of someone who knows how to edit pages in Dreamweaver.

So, there's been this error for students to view job postings (this is on the log-in part of the site). We finally have enough postings that require a second page. Unfortunately, when you click on "2" to move to the next page, an error occurred.

Now, it's close to summer, and our students need some summer internship work - where could they look? At this page. Oh, and did I mention, all recent adds are at the bottom of the list, therefore, on the "second page"?

Okay, so it's been since February that we gave them this bug, and they got a print out of it again on April Fools, and today, I made a quick 30-second fix:
* look at the code
* found AllowPaging
* changed from ="True" to ="False"
and voila! all job opportunities found on one page!

The question now is, for that fix that hopefully the web designers were to fix, how much would they bill us? Though, ideally they would still allow for paging and have the second page come up.

I sent an email out with a screenshot of the fix to all those involved with this website update process and my boss comes down to ask how I fixed it. I told him, "Luckily I have some coding experience and found something that said pagination and changed it to 'False'." I think he was appreciative.

Happy Odd Day!

an ode from http://www.oddday.net/:

"As Odd as it is, the day will be fine,
You see, it's the numbers 5,7, and 9.
Three odds in a row to tell you the date,
We've only three more, then a 90-year wait."

such a great year for all the math dorks out there - so many mathematical days occuring!

:D
