Uh-huh.
Yeah, I was getting the deja vu too.
Anyway, I'm trying to hack what our ex-consultant wrote for us. Problem is, my xsl knowledge is limited....
Harken: You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war? Zoe: Fought with a lot of people in the war. Harken: And your husband? Zoe: Fight with him sometimes, too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It looks like your ex-consultant was deliberately trying to write unmaintainable code. I'll have too take a deeper look at it this evening.

Thanks!
In any event, I have an inelegant workaround (producing the 'color:red' thing (when needed) in the SQL stored proc instead). So at least I can get our client off our backs....
This particular web page is used by management, so we have to take their whining more seriously.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
So my iPod hard drive died, and now our primary computer is refusing to boot.
I'm not really looking for advice, just sympathy.

Your technology is conspiring against you to make you appreciate it more? Bastards.
I just got a brand-new laptop battery! It's so exciting!!! Previously it was lasting maybe 20 minutes. The new one has been going strong for over an hour, and still has 3/4 of a charge left! Whoot!

Hmm. I don't have Firefox installed on the laptop. Now I have to decide if I want that new single badly enough to install Firefox and hunt for the plug in, or if I'm willing to wait for the release of the single ...

Ooooh, speaking of Firefox, there's a wonderful addin called Foxytunes that will let you control iTunes from a bar on the bottom of your Firefox window. Since otherwise I end up switching back and forth quite a bit, this is so very useful....
