XHTML Transitional Compliance Problems
So I ran into a few snafu’s trying to use the w3c’s XHTML validator: 1. The doctype declaration is case sensitive. This incorrect doctype: <!doctype HTML public “-//W3C//dtd html 4.01 transitional//en”> is not the same as this correct one: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN”> 2.

It’s a Boy
We found out last week that we are having a boy. I always thought it would be better to have a girl first and boy second so that they are more evenly matched when they fight, but it turns out it matters to me more that I will AT LEAST have one boy. Too many […]

Writing for One Tree Hill
A good friend of mine writes for One Tree Hill on the WB. I don't know many writers, so it is a pleasure reading anything from her – even her emails. I get the same contentment reading a few paragraphs from Stacy as reading a software book by Joel Spolsky (even when I disagree with […]

New Kitten joins the Family
After about a year of researching, searching and waiting, our new kitten has arrived today. He had been flying for over 5 hrs to get to LA, so now he is spending quality time napping in the bathroom magazine holder. I think we are going to stick to our naming convention that we used with […]
