EVIL!!!! THE STUPID BROWSER PROGRAMMERS ARE EVIL!!!! WHY DO THEY HAVE TO MAKE FF READ ATTRIBUTES DIFFERENTLY FROM IE????!!!!!!!

*sniffles*

See, this is the problem: In IE, borders are included in the width. In FF, they are not. So if I have a 10px wide border around an 100px wide div, the actual area in FF would be 100px wide, while in IE they would be 80px wide. Normally, that doesn't make too much of a difference. But when the extra width covers stuff in another div, it does.

HATE! HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stupid browsers. Why can't they just all agree on the same way of reading a code? Are they just trying to make life difficult for us poor programmers?

*Sobs incosolably*

And there are other things. Some of them can be worked around. For instance, FF displays the text significantly smaller than IE (when IE has text-size "medium" and FF has "normal"). This is annoying. Not significantly, but still annoying.

The only thing that they display properly together are graphics. Which is probably why most sites these days rely completely on those for every single effect that's not too common. And it sucks, because then they take forever to load. I'm not one of those graphic-intense people, because I don't want it to take 5 minutes to load each page. Unless you have original content that people are just DYING to see, then they'll probably just go away. Graphic intenseness, in my opinion, is almost just as bad as having music that autostarts, autoloops, and has no off button. It's one of the deadly sins of webprogramming. And I will stab someone in my frustration.

Seriously, IE and FF should get together and FREAKING REACH AN AGREEMENT!!!!! It'll be like, FREEDOM FROM SLAVING AWAY FOR NO GOOD REASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean, HOW FRIGGIN HARD CAN IT BE TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT A BORDER SHOULD TAKE UP DIV SPACE AND REACH AN UNANIMOUS AGREEMENT???? IT'S LIKE STUPIDITY AT ITS STUPIDEST. I'M OVER HERE WRINGING MY BRAIN OUT OVER SOMETHING AS RETARDED AS A FRIGGIN DAMN BORDER!!!!!!!!! AND ITS RETARDATION.

Gawd.

Look, it's a post!

I almost did this. Almost. But then they left before I even finished slamming my book down.

'Nyway, I like the first panel a lot. And I love their expressions in the bottom left one. But my hair from the back looks weird.

I was gonna upload this as a pencil sketch, but the spiral messed up the scan.

I hate it when people with the abnormal ability to draw good go and say stuff that make the rest of us feel bad. Especially when it has continuity, like a comic. Like: "Oh I really like how I did this character, but I think the face could be fixed." Now anyone who has ever tried to draw a unique and disguishable face will no how hard it is. Frankly, I don't really care how my character's face is as long as it's recognizable as a face at all. Really now. But still, they fill me with so much awe that I can't be mad at them. 'Cuz you people rock.

So our schools robot is doing okay. They finished the wheel mechanism last night. They were driving it around at lunch, partly just to show off. It's like, "Yeah, we're so cool cuz we have a robot that moves, even though that's all it does, and that it has no arms, and the competition is in less than four weeks and JFK's already finished theirs." C'MON, PEOPLE!!! A TOY CAR DOES AS MUCH, AND IT'S PRETTIER!!!!

... We are so screwed'd.

But hey, at least we get to miss school for the competition. JOY!

I also have no idea where the kiosk went. I mean, it's a huge thing the size of a car garage. There's not very many places it could go. In fact, how did they move it at all? And how will they get it to the competition?

Anyway, choir is starting up again, so happiness for that. I think I'll just like run out of the building over to junior side just to look at the little kiddies and laugh. First session next monday. I get to miss 5 min before and after lunch. Huzzah. Yay for laughing at little kiddies. Who will, if I'm fast enough, be in class and doing work. And a bunch of older peeps will walk in and they'll be like "Woah! Senior campus kids! Wow!" Actually, I wanna read some sample writing. To see if there's another retardedly talented kid like Tiff. I mean seriously, in grade7 she was writing at pretty much the same level of sophistication that I am now. Which is saying something because, not to be full of myself or anything, I know my writing is one of the best in the grade level.

... 97% Math Exam. A little lower than expected, admittedly, but still pretty awesome. (I have no doubt in my mind that the 3% lost was due to idiot mistakes)

Blogger keeps telling me that my internet connection died. Because it did. Again. Because Sympatico is not so hot.

My marks in my sketchbook aren't so good. 7's, 8's 7.5's, 8.5's. Amanda got all tens. I ph34r her. I still haven't managed to get her to do a webcomic. This means that I haven't been bothering her enough. Maybe I should break into her locker and but a giant pop-up thing saying "Amanda! Webcomic!"

I have to fix the layout for this blog sometimes. The banner's cut off. I also have to fix E1's layout. I also have to fix portfolio site's layout. I also have to make a layout for Wry. I also have to make a layout for my dad's site... GLARGH!!!! And AFC's new layout is making me feel so incompetent, the way Fangathering already is. And I think Fangathering is actually a bit younger than E1... *sob* I'm a failure.

...

I will now go punch FF in the face for messing up my IE-perfect E1 layout.

Old Blogger, go play WoW. I don't mind.

I switched to new Blogger. Huzzah.

Oh, and happy 2007.

Wry Expressions, my webcomic, now has a new layout. I did not make it, because I am lazy, but I did modify it to suit my tastes.

I added two plot elements to my storyline. Not twists, because they're based off existing twists that I hadn't really used to the full extent before. But now, no more ebil things seem to serve no purpose to the story. Now I just have to decide when exactly those events occur.

And I changed my mind about the titles. Again. I don't like Sentient Dust anymore because I can't decide on a good place to have Ary say the line. And even if I did, it's still a title based off a line that nobody's gonna remember.

I also changed the name of Ary's cat. And I switched around the order of events in ch 3. Becuase it doesn't make sense that Ben would wait five hours to call Ary. I mean, he cracks into top security databases like nothing, so how hard would it be to pull Ary out of class? I think I'll dedicate today to typing up stuff. I have about 6.7k words typed up, and that's only about half of what I have written down. (This'll take a while. d'oh.)

... Yeah ...

I sabotaged Moody's post on Chat yesterday. So fun.

Bagels go with cream cheese. I don't care what Coco says. Cream cheese all the way. Why? Because butter goes with dinner rolls and pancakes.

Miracle Whip goes with everything.
