(and yes, I do still read HYB every once in a while, although I'm a total dork and it kinda fell off my radar and I have no excuse, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.)

I saw an Indian lady today who had six toes

i didn't read this.

Water damage is not covered, sorry. Stand in line with the rest of the emotional geeks.

Everyone needs a rubber bracelet. that means you too, Mike. At least this one is somewhat functional.

Brad sucks is indeed quite nice. Lost of free downloads too - someone who understands where the business of music is heading.

Don't know. I hope better than Word -> html. I thought that I read somewhere in the MacWorld coverage that Apple had started a company blog using the iWeb software, but I cannot find it.

More than a handfull just means eventual strech marks.

yeah, I should have gone after the first two flunkies about why they couldn't see that I was a customer for 3 years and shouldn't have a disconnect fee. Would have made for a better story for sure.
but I didn't. oh well.

Free cable + internet for 5 months? You must have some quality argumentitive skills... I have an ex-landlord that screwed me out of a deposit check I might have you call.

I'm more or less indifferent on the design. Personally I really liked the blue background that the vector art ninja created - Email that to me, would you mike? It's going go on my work pc.

There is one thing though I've got to say about this new design...

what's the f*cking deal with the internet explorer icon in the banner graphic? it turns my stomach looking at that damn logo.

I've got data now as of this morning. It looks like there's a ton of reports to look at. There's only one day of data to look at, but some inital numbers are intersting:

Going back to a previous topic, 49% of the visitors to my company's website have a 800x600 screen resolution. I think it's a long time before 800x600 dies enough that you don't have to support it any more.

yeah, I was wondering about that too! I've been waiting for my reports and nothing yet. I think I had something in my domain setup askew, but I got that fixed over '12 hours' ago.
It's also not safari-friendly, which confuses me because the report tables are flash-based. I've never written a flash anything so this me typing without knowing anything, but what in a flash app could work in one browser and not another. I always thought it was akin to the java virtual machine model where as long as there was a flash plugin for whatever you were using the flash app would work.
Please, someone tell me why I'm wrong.

yeah, I put that up on my site too. should have results in an hour or two. did you notice that the google analytics site was s--l--o--w?

is this the ghost of Joe? good to meet you.

I don't know how you'd get it to load at startup, but I'm sure you could whip up something cool in quartz composer.

I would be ok with a javascript-type-thingie that scanned the user's window size and if it saw 800x600 it would add a top banner disclaimer saying that they should upgrade their screen resolution. Nothing that prevented the rest of the page from loading, no popups or anything of the like, just a top banner saying "hey dumbshit - 800x600 sucks. This is how to make things look better."

I install internet at people's homes so I have the pleasure of seeing a lot of different computers in any given week. While most people are a 1024x768 or more, there are a *good* number of people still at 800x600 (and I swear to God - I've seen Win98/WinME @ 640x480 more than once). I figure people keep these resolutions for one of two reasons: Bad eyesight - I myself have stopped using some websites because they've made the text so damn small, and my eyes are mostly ok. And 2: They may not know how to increase the resolution. Yeah, HYB.com is a geek's geek website so I imagine that most of us have an idea of what we're doing. But if you're designing a website to be used by the general public you have to remember that even if your user has internet and can find your site, there's still no guarantee that they know how to use their own computer.
There. There's my 13.5 cents

Did you know that grown-up Evie did a movie with a nude scene? Oh the wonderful trivia one can gleem from google image search...

erin types like she was raised by dingos.
but not smart dingos. you know, the slow ones that nobody feels comfortable talking about.

the way you rail on free webhosting providers cracks me up every time.

I respect your relationship with your farm animals, Kassy. I have a dog at home and I could never imagine killing and eating him.

I hate the Cow Itself. Screw what it does to the land, those animals have caused me nothing but trouble. I've had to watch other people eat cake and ice cream at every birthday party I've ever been to while I get a bag of jelly beans, including my own birthdays. Can you imagine little 5 year old Danny sitting at a party table with all his 5 year old friends and not getting any cake?
Denny's, TGIFridays, Applebees, TacoBell, Hardies, Dominios, PizzaHut, Olive Garden, Steak 'n Shake etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc are all off limits because of beef / cheese / milk / butter / cow.

Cows? Kill 'Em All.

This is only your fourth network? you wuss.

alright alright. I got it working. I had not checked 'Use SSL' before. I've got buddies on AOL, MSN, Y!, ICQ, and now GTalk. This is using the Jabber protocol which is nice when compared to the other networks since Jabber is a completely open standard - open to anyone and everyone.
Google doesn't usually do something without making it notable in some respect - what do you think they have up their four billion dollar sleeves?

I could not get this to work last night with Fire. Kept getting a error that asked me if I wanted to create an account (or something). I'll fight with it some more tonight.

I'm pretty sure there's a CVS right across the river in Belleville Il.
