regular Javascript v. AJAX for dynamic content insertion

Published: 27 February 2008
Recently for work, I’ve had cause to write functionality so that a certain chunk of a form can be inserted again, over and over, by the user. The form involves data about course equivalencies between schools, and the user might need to submit data for multiple courses a student has taken. Hence, the [...]

I was just visiting a site and saw a comment by someone named Vera, which is what prompted this whole entry. Thank you, random Vera, for your name’s inspirational qualities! Anywho, can you think of any particular names of places or people that irk you because of their pronunciation? I can, as [...]

things I love about my mom

Published: 24 February 2008
Conversely (see previous entry), here’s a post about some of the things I love about my mom. I was just inspired to do such a list because I’m cleaning my apartment (yes, it does happen!) and one of the things I found was a St. Valentine’s Day card Mom sent me this year. [...]

hosting from high schoolers

Published: 20 February 2008
I guess you could call it a web trend, but recently I’ve seen several sites that offer hosting, and I’m just not sure how they work. One I saw just now is CrownedHost, which was advertised on Snark Forums. Here’s a snippet of the very beginning of the index page’s HTML: HTML <head> <title>Crowned Host</title> <link [...]

local gym stereotypes

Published: 19 February 2008
I worked out at the gym with Kathy tonight, and as I was doing some kind of knee-bending, leg-pushing weights, I did what I usually do at the gym: people-watch. For your reading pleasure, here are the main types of people I’ve noticed at our gym: ultra skinny chick – I’m always a bit [...]

grammar and sound waves

Published: 17 February 2008
This should perk up your evening: me being grouchy! Because nothing exciting happened in my life the past couple of days—save seeing Juno, which was a good movie—I have for you a couple things that get under my skin: “of” mistakenly used for “have” – While I normally salute the contraction, not in small [...]

etiquette training

Published: 1 February 2008
Last night, as part of my leadership class, I had to attend a formal dinner and etiquette training. It was actually pretty fun and I felt like I learned a lot about social niceties. There are so many crazy little details that seemed to border on ridiculousness, and I know I don’t remember [...]

ugly boots

Published: 10 December 2007
Like Sara, I have to comment on some boots I saw today while eating lunch with friends. Jess and I were getting some pasta when I noticed the boots on some girl in line. They were white and gray checkered, fuzzy, and had two pink tassley ball things dangling from the top. [...]

Grub Error 17

Published: 25 October 2007
Note: if this tutorial doesn’t help you, possibly because fdisk reports your known Linux partition correctly as Linux, you might also try my Grub Error 13 with Grub Error 17 tutorial. I just had an interesting time with trying to boot into Linux on my PC. Last night, I noticed my /boot/grub/menu.lst file had [...]

why are people online so mean?

Published: 23 October 2007
I was just reading the latest entry on Atourworst, Apparently Dreamweaver is a time-saving software, and it made me wonder not for the first time why folks online are often mean. On so many sites, I find sneering attitudes from nearly all the posters. If you ever read comments on Digg or Fark, [...]
