Axodys

I don’t think this Rael Dornfest post is the one that I originally came across, but it offers a little bit of insight into using rsync to move a local MacOS X blogged site to a globally accessible host.

Note to self: I need to add Forwarding Address: OSX to my daily reading list.

Your GQ is about average - your coolness offsets your geekiness.

Alrighty then.

I spent part of the evening out at Mead watching the Panthers beat up on the Rogers Pirates. I had hoped it would be closer then the two teams’s first two meetings, but a slow start doomed Rogers to a 20 point loss. Rogers is definitely a team on the rise; kudos to Coach Ehlo for the steady progress his team has been making since he took took over the reigns three seasons ago.

In other playoff news, Central Valley beat Mt. Spokane in overtime to claim the 4th spot to Regionals. They’ll be Ferris’s opponent in Thursday’s late game.

I’ve been getting out and about campus a little more than usual today. For one thing it’s timecard day so I had to take that over to the payroll office, but on top of that there’s a presentation over in the Business School that I have to provide some technical support on. Hopefully that will go smoothly.

The sun is poking out of the clouds a bit now, but it’s been a fairly rainy morning otherwise. The rest of the state still looks fairly cloudy according the the radar, but I don’t imagine we’ll get more than a slight drizzle this afternoon.

Use CSS to help convert to CSS. Meryl Evans: Blast Sites with User CSS sheets. Another fascinating use of CSS: your own personal set of stylesheets that you can use to help find design problems in pages you’re trying to convert to CSS. All major browsers let you specify your own stylesheet that overrides the one provided by the web site. [diveintomark]

Pretty nifty info there. I actually contemplated buying Eric Meyer’s Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide today while I was browsing the computer book section at Barnes & Noble. I have several books that already provide pretty good CSS coverage so I decided to save my money.

Make your Radio dock menu more useful.

If you’re a “Radio Userland” user check this tip/script out. Thanks Nicholas!

Gonzaga 91, Pepperdine 78

Great game, great environment. The Kennel was as electric as I’ve ever seen it and probably 98% of those in attendance were wearing red. That was pretty sweet. I’m just glad I was able to get a ticket for Dan Dickau’s last home game.

Speaking of Dan Dickau, when I went into Sonic Burritos for lunch on Wednesday he was standing in line by himself reading the Inlander. I didn’t say anything to him because I’m sure people come up to him all the time when he’s out and about in Spokane, but I noted that he ordered a Chicken Teriyaki burrito with pintos rather than my preferred black beans. I opted for a Screamin’ Lentil burrito myself.

Crud. I had a longer entry, but Radio choaked on it. Should have copied it before I submitted I guess. Oh well.

Mark Pilgrim adds a moral perspective to the CSS issues that have been swirling around lately. I was already all for using CSS and this only further bolsters my reasoning.

Now I should take a few hours this weekend and work on a css based design for Axodys.

Yesterday ended up being one very long (but very good) day of basketball for me. It started out with a big rematch win for the Ferris JV team over Gonzaga Prep and ended with the Ferris Varsity cutting down the nets after winning the GSL Championship. In between the bookend games I got to see a runaway victory by the Ferris Freshman team over the Bullpups shortly followed by Mt. Spokane’s stunning one point upset [way down at the bottom of the article] of their northside rival Mead Panthers. So all in all a busy, but fun day.
