Sudden Incompatibility Caused Major Outage

I had a piece of code in the main template file that handles most pages that worked fine until it didn’t. I didn’t upgrade the script, or make any changes. I swear, I may be a loon with no memory (ooh! shiny! look! a squirrel!) but this bit of code was there, all was fine, I did nothing, bam.

It’s all fixed now. I know about when this happened, too. I should have known to check on the site when views dropped to 0, but we just came back and then i hadn’t posted in a few days so I thought it was normal. Well, at least it wasn’t??? Heh.

Enjoy the site, yeap, no real new posts at the moment, but maybe I’ll try to update as soon as I can to make up for the lack of everything.

Even Nerds Make HUGE Decisions Based on Fashion (video)

And even male nerds. It’s at 1:12…

Normally even I wouldn’t think fashion could sway away presidential votes*, but …. ???WTF??? is that “tie”???!!!

I mean Hilary Clinton needs to go on “What Not to Wear”. Picture that blue suit from her “no decisions” speech unbuttoned and flapping away from her hips. *Shudder*

I don’t think Clinton (as in Clinton Kelly of Stacy and Clinton from WNTW*) wanted her to get more votes from the publicity (*see, not Hilary Clinton herself, she’d fight to get Iraq to vote for her if she could). I’m hoping that’s the reason she didn’t go on to get a makeover. *innocent smile* Shame, really.

Hot Mac Ad Guy in Movie!

Justin Long - AcceptedThis isn’t the newest of news, but apparently I wasn’t on my ‘puter when I first saw the commercial:

The Hot Mac Ad Guy is in a movie: Accepted!

And apparently his name is Justin Long.

The movie looks stinky but it’s nice to see the (more) ads, I guess.

Case Logic Fashion Tote Laptop CaseIt’s a thing, it’s trendy. Or it’s a new thing in our network, but I like to think it’s some cool thing. Nah. Wow, I’ve gone blabbery trying to make my intro unique and me. Anyway. This is the Related Posts from Lipped Media entry.

There’s only one this week, but that’s pretty good, although you never know what might pop up!

Pursed Lips featured a laptop bag by Case Logic that’s half stylish details, half practical business; which is pretty good.

Laptops with Mouse Trays?

I just received my new laptop, and I was struck with this thought: there should be slide out mini-mouse (he he) trays on every one (where the CD drives currently are)! Like this idea? Good, let’s get this made, people!

The 800 x 600 Problem

Oh, the stories to tell about my new laptop …. *tangent*

I’m a big designer. Ella and I became friends designing online. Oh, I mean graphic/web designing, not L’s beloved fashion illustrating.

Anyway, I helped design this layout. I design various things online and Ella was stuck at how to create this vision. I loved that vision and realized it would actually be quite easy. (From that, she lured me into this blog, actually into being very, very excited about this blog.)

But I was stepping into something bigger than I realized. Read more »

I’m a Magpie…

Baby Phat Cell Phone Charm Lanyard… if magpie’s like pink, too—on gadgets. I’m a girly-girl. I like my little toys, but not like the boys. I don’t even like the word “gadgets.” Hmmm, maybe … “thingums.”

I like my pink iPods, shiny phone covers, girly sizes (oh, lots of guys like those, too). I like accessories/decorations and I love cases. I like cases even more than I like the gadgets (thingums), sometimes. I even have many different makeup cases (and I need to resort to using them for my “toys” (boy word, again)).

I like anything designer (don’t have it, though); I like unnecessary things, as well as functional. I love the way electronic devices improve my life or entertain me, but I just might like things more for the fashion.

I am a Gadget Girl. The female form of a gadget lover—not a gadget person, I strict the girl.

(And if you’re a girly gadget lover, too, check out this cell phone charm by Baby Phat. (Picture used to illustrate my post.))
