I’ve got a few minutes free from my end-of-semester school work and thought I’d share some thoughts.
One:
If you’re having trouble getting the image caption to appear below the image in IE, make sure you’re not floating it in a separate selector. Oops. Yes, I did spend almost a whole day trying to figure out why it was lovely in FF but floating right in IE. Dur. There was a float I didn’t need in there. This is what happens when you make adjustments and forget to note which adjustments you just made and/or don’t take out the extra garbage. My bad.
Two:
Don’t expect some people to know what the hell you’re talking about when you’re discussing your messed up float. They will look at you like you’re completely insane when you say “My list was floated right but then I floated my img to the right too!!” This means nothing to some people– even when you think that someone should know. Sorry, Unnamed Person, I really thought you knew more about it. I didn’t mean to “try to impress with that damned jargon”. Really. I thought since you’d signed up for a Website Design elective you might think my error was as hilarious as I thought it was.
Three:
Ask for confirmation in emails or you may go a whole two weeks thinking you’d sent an important note only to find out the recipient was still waiting for that note. My bad again.
Four:
Messing up my coding is really good for my brain fog. No, really, it is. Working my brain to solve a puzzle like a messed up float is good for the gray matter. I can’t leave it alone until I’ve fixed the problem and that helps with the cognition. I can actually hold conversations again. Of course, I don’t always want to have a conversation (blame the pain pills, yo) but I can have one if I so choose. Awesome.
Five:
I really like “V”. I also like “Spongebob” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, so there you go.
Six:
After this semester is over I’m going to publish a couple of my best papers from my English College Writing class. I don’t want to yet for fear my prof will think I’m plagiarizing myself, but I did some good work on those things this semester. Can we say “A”? Why, yes we can. Of course, I think my prof doesn’t really care all that much about the quality of the paper as long as we keep it on topic, but that’s not the point. The subject matter is very interesting. Of course, I’ll probably forget that I want to do that. You’ll have that from me.
Seven:
It’s time for bed and I’ve stopped having thoughts. Ha!
