Bugs, Money, & Water Bottles
I’m filing my own bug report for tumbledry here. Has anyone noticed that when you mouseover Dan’s comments, there’s a thing that says “A partial iron” instead of loading an image? Well, that’s not the intended behavior of the comment code - it’s a rounding error that should never have made it past bug testing. Nevertheless, here we are, months after I recoded the ranking system… and this ugly bug pops up. I’m working on a fix, and more pictures. So that’s good.
It’s very odd to be busy with so many things that aren’t school. Honestly… school has taken the majority of my time for so long that it’s an adjustment to be doing other things (for a while). Interestingly enough (well, it’s interesting to me :) ), I’m still busy. For example, I’m setting up an apartment. This is infinitely more complicated than I had thought, as there are many items necessary for domestic comfort. You see, as a result of years of dorm living, I’m missing many basics — but at least I have no homework to interfere with the shopping. Furthermore, there’s figuring out a long term budget by factoring in monthly bills, transportation, connectivity — you know, all that stuff that allows you to function in modern society.
Oh, and budgeting becomes even more difficult when there are little tempting luxury items (like Sigg Water Bottles) bleeding your wallet dry with one thousand tiny cuts. I still haven’t bought one: trying to hold out against temptation!
But enough about me, what’s new with you?

I don’t think I have ever seen an ampersand on the new site. It is beautiful in this typeface (as seen in the title of this post).
Nice.

Thanks, Mykala. You just made that old saying ring true, because until now I had no idea what the “&” was called. Now I do.
And I agree that it does look very nice in this typeface.

NO!!! Do not take away my “partial iron,” I worked hard to achieve it and I have grown to love it. Just because others must be jealous does not mean that I should be penalized!
Now that Mykala has proven just how brilliant she is I want to see her name these next few symbols:

As for an ampersand looking beautiful…I am less than convinced. It just looks like it had a pituitary gland issue.

If Dan gets a partial iron, I want a triple iron. I think we can all agree that I’ve earned it.
