Baby Du Comin Home Today!

Michelle arrives in a couple hours! I can't wait cause I have missed my sweetie!

It's another slow day at work... Been working on the web site again.


There are so damn many little details on each web page. Each detail can be incorrect in so many different ways. The wrong piece of art can be in place. The correct piece of art can in place, but the content around it may have changed to the point where the art is now incorrect or redundant - outdated.

The link on a piece of art can go to what was once the correct page, but that page is now gone or renamed. The link could open in a new window, when it should maintain its current window.

Art that looks great on one page looks misaligned when you navigate to the next page. All the pages should have the same basic elements, using the same sizes, colors, and themes. This is something I'm really bad at doing - consistency between pages. Except for the logo and the link strip along the top, no two pages look very much alike. Ditto for text. Sizes, colors, links, layout, ugh.

On the home front, apartment manager (aka "The Dude") and some window repair workmen are supposed to be in our apartment today to measure the existing windows.

I hope they're done by the time Michelle and I get home. We needs us some privacy, you know? How long can it take to measure the windows? A couple minutes per window at the most! Length, X, Height, Y. Scribble Scribble, on to the next one. Since all the windows in the complex are being replaced, there shouldn't be much variation in how long there are strangers wandering free in our apartment.

I moved a bunch of furniture and other stuff - the dining room table, the computer desk, the bicycles, the rolling drawer storage, the exercise bike, all the toiletries in the bathroom window, and so on - and cleaned everywhere in anticipation of the window measuring... I'm probably the only one who bothered. Most people just shrugged at the Notice and went about their daily lives. Hmn. This window thing is gonna be a huge pain. And this is just the first step.
