Just to see

Today I had a most awesome day at work. I greeted everyone with my FSD Data Services plate (I painted our logo on a plate at Mad Potter) and everyone oohed and ahhed in a most pleasing way. I ate 3 sandwiches from it today!

In addition to eating sandwiches, I faxed in our request for DSL to Savvis Communications! This is a great and wonderful thing because it represents the culmination of a significant amount of research and planning to find the right DSL provider for us. We (I) chose Savvis because they have killer awesome customer service, guarantees on Uptime, guarantees on installation time, and nice price. Unlimited free IP addresses. They ping our router every 90 seconds to make sure it's awake. Good stuff. Oh, and they are the ISP for the ISP that hosts www.robnugen.com. Nice.

In addition to faxing the request, I got a lot done on my current HTML project for work. I may have mentioned it before; the goal is to use cookies to save information on a users local machine (using a browser while OFFline (not on Internet) while they're on a plane or beach somewhere), and then allowing them to submit that data to us once they are back online.

I dug through my code trying to see where to add a nicety and I noticed that I had gotten a bit sloppy with my 3 tier architecture (HI Maggie and Phil). I sketched out a version of what the 3 tiers should be, and was able to knead my functions back in shape nicely. (Marcel, this next part is for you) I made the changes to code (moved 3 lines and added about 6 or 8 lines sprinkled throughout, changed 2 functions' input parameters, changed their corresponding function calls), and it worked. No syntax errors. No logic errors.

AWESOME, BAAABYY!!!!!!!

Okay, so now I'm about to go to Mad Potter again to show off my plate and say HI to (flirt with) some of my friends. permalink

DECISIONS

As I begin this project of transferring my website to this new domain, I've had to make a few decisions.

To preserve and honor the past I will not change the color or style of old journal entries (before 1999).
old journal entries should also stay as navigationally untampered as possible.
In pre 1998 journal directories:
- index.html will have a link to /journal/index.pl
- all other files will simply point back to their own index.html, and no further back than that.
index.pl will be designed to only index new and future stuff. This way it will be easier to write current stuff, and I won't have to spend a lot of time retrofitting old stuff.
Everything below /journal dir is visible except index.pl

I will add to the list as needed. It will just be sort of a record to help me with this process.permalink

This is a test to see how an inline image will act in this thing.

Here is a pretty funny image!

Here is a link to a quite unfortunate and ironic image.

See ya! permalink
