Geek hazard

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

So here’s a quick hazard of having too many geek toys. In process of making sitewide changes this weekend, I managed to screw up the HTML in two of the static pages. Turns out that while I used the laptop to check the validation of all of those pages, and corrected as necessary, I managed to not have the latest versions of two pages of the site on the desktop PC that I was using this weekend. So, two of the pages did not have the corrections made for validation and, therefore, no longer validated, but were the pages that I made other, major changes to, as far as changing the navigation bar. I had to waste some extra time going back and making the same corrections to those pages all because I use too many different computers to work on the site. 😉

I still want more toys though…

    Lazy Sunday’s rock! OK so it wasn’t completely lazy, I did go through a couple of chapters of the VB 5 book, ran through a couple of exercises, and started to get down some of the code. But I also watched the DVD of Father Ted episodes that I picked up at the library, played…

    Thanks to everyone who left a comment or sent an email about what Firefox extensions they are using. Using those suggestions and some info from this Lockergnome pointer, I’m now running about 12 extensions on a trial basis. We’ll see which ones I end up using, and which ones I end up uninstalling for lack…

    A TechDirt posting today, linking to this article about the new Bagle variant running around today ponders: “…the anti-virus companies are out hyping up yet another non-event or many people are just clueless. It’s possible (and, perhaps, likely) that both may be true.” Well I’m sure they are hyping it, because they do that. But…
