this juice is food

I think I’m going to miss odwalla fruit drinks when the semester ends.

Windows XP DEP Forced Reboot

Today at about 11:36 am, Data Execution Prevention forced my computer to reboot. I think it gave me about one minute’s notice, and then it simply rebooted. I wonder if this had anything to do with my being online without a firewall of any kind. [g]

Grande Pesto Macchiato

Feedburner is just too cool. When you login, they don’t just say My Feeds at the top. They say My [Random Words] Feeds. I recently spotted “My Grande Pesto Macchiato Feeds”. How cool is that? Where do they get this stuff from?

Universal CSS Stylesheet

It would be cool if there were a basic general CSS stylesheet that I could start with when creating a new web document. I’ve realized that many of the basic sites I create have the same general styles. You need to define headings, paragraph, bulleted lists, and links. You need a fineprint for the copyright and other info at the bottom. There’s a lot of things that just carry over from one section of a site to the next, and even across one site to another. I want a universal stylesheet created by someone with aesthetic design talent and just a little splash of color. Of course it will be modified to suit a particular website’s design and taste. But the general stuff is still the same, and it’s all there. Let’s start it off that way. Let’s make a general stylesheet. Does one (or anything like it) already exist?

What a weekend. After not seeing any movies for months, I went and saw two movies in one day (though one was a midnight showing). Friday evening, I went to Shirley and Jenny’s room and talked for a bit. Jenny suggested the idea of going out for a movie. Later, a little after 10 pm, Shirley told me about the plan to go to see a movie at the Grove, 11 pm or 12 midnight showing of Memoirs of a Geisha. Eric drove, and Albert was also there. Jenny ended up not coming due to illness (get well soon!). Anyway, the movie was sold out at the Grove, so we went to ArcLight and caught the midnight showing.
