Windows Vista?!?!? What the hell were they thinking in Redmond? Apple gives us sexy, cool sounding names like Tiger and Panther and then Microsoft chimes in with something that sounds like GM’s latest failure.

“If they called it Windows Garbage, would people still buy it? Yeah, they’d buy it,”

The move was completed this past weekend. I finally got online last night thanks to everyone’s favorite cable company and I even have wireless set up. Although the fact that comcast changed my browser start page was a bit annoying. (Verizon Avenue has retained the top spot on my frickin evil companies that I will never do business with ever again.)

Now, if the post office starts forwarding the mail actually addressed to me, I will be a happy camper.

and that’s a story in and of itself…but I have to say the biggest thorn in my side right at the moment is Verizon whose online ordering web site allowed me to register an address that they later deemed invalid since they use the township name….better yet, the order was stopped and NO ONE FROM VERIZON BOTHERED TO TELL ME. The only reason I found out about it was that I was having issues with other utilities (another story) and I figured I’d better give Verizon a call.

So it is quite likely that I will be Internetless for the weekend… :-(

I think I will most likely go ballistic on each and every one of them…

Typical Web dev tale…I had a project that I coded in bare xhtml/html with tables. I needed the tables to line up next to each other without spacing between them…(I basically built one table -for background color- and then inserted interior tables to delineate sections…).

Project looked great in Mozilla, Firefox, Safari, etc. but when I went to look at it in @#@#!@ IE, there was spacing between the tables and the table cells, even after cellspacing=”0″ was set.

From the Philadelphia Daily News gossip column….

After playing Live 8, Rob Thomas, the former Matchbox 20 singer, washed down his filet dinner with a $1,000 bottle of California Cabernet at Morton’s (1411 Walnut). His party of five shared the 1995 Caymus Special Selection.

What I have to say about this is totally utterly unprintable.

I’d go because I’m curious about a few of the acts, but it looks like I won’t end up there tomorrow.
