Twitter is currently crapping out, so my attempts to fix the spacing of the Tweets at the top of the page is on hold – nope it’s back up again. Actually, it’s been down on and off since last night. A reader emailed me a while ago and told me that a friend of theirs interned at Twitter for a while and said, in essence, that despite its popularity, it’s basically run by a hamster on a wheel – it’s that dodgy. That’s the web for you. The only sites that don’t crash are porn sites – the true web innovators.
So what do I mean about fumbling like a moron in the dark with code I don’t understand and simply producing front end designs? Click the thumbnail on the left and you’ll see the difference. The problem, of course, is I have nowhere near the skills to make that a reality. Most of the time I’m just guessing at how the code works, and if you did a check on this website with regards to CSS and XHTML errors, I’m sure they’d be off the charts.
I am also up way too early. That’s because last night I slept with a cat scarf on. I’m excited though, I’m going to look at a house that’s being rented along the river across from Fort Langley today. Imagine that – actual bedrooms. And there’s even an organic farmers’ market down the street. Shit, I might even get cable. Unless I become a regular at Roosters – oh those buckle bunnies drive me mad!
Tip: When you click the thumbnail and it takes you to the larger version, put your mouse over it and a magnifying glass icon should appear. Click it again and it will produce the image full page.
