Quite Cool - My coworkers are all pretty down to earth. They seem to be more interested in getting things done right and exploring many different approaches towards the solution of a problem. I'm not used to this. I'm more used to ... http://blog.lorintackett.com/geekdom/gamelayers-first-day-at-pmog/ My buddy Carlos is "looking" for his lost friend Chris Glein. Apparently they've been friends since they were kids and Chris is being a punk. Pretty funny approach. The moral of this story? Don't punk out on interweb geeks. Share the wealth... give this story some link love on your blogs. Thanks! http://blog.lorintackett.com/non-geekdom/hilarity/chris-glein/ Okay, I like Ubuntu... or at least I did... well, I still do... it's complicated. I like all the new features of Hardy Heron, but it seems to come at the price of performance. I can almost go so far as to say my Dell C400 running OpenSUSE 11 outperforms ... http://blog.lorintackett.com/uncategorized/disenchanted-with-the-hardy-heron/ http://blog.lorintackett.com/non-geekdom/the-cool-list/42-the-answer-to-life-the-universe-and-travel/ I started a github project for those of you following the SASS Blueprint Grid.

Now I can leverage the Blueprint grid in a completely SASSy way. Please refer to Blueprint CSS for instructions and tutorials on how to use the grid.

It just sits there and eventually times out at the DNS level without sending a 404 message. This is by far one ... http://blog.lorintackett.com/geekdom/missioncanonical-western-union/ Trying out Microsoft Live Writer for blog posting now. So far it hasn't borked my shiny green W3C validation, so maybe Microsoft has scored two points with me today. First OneNote, now Live Writer, and I'm working on some design and front-end projects for a Microsoft employee group using SharePoint. ... http://blog.lorintackett.com/geekdom/microsoft-live-writer-so-far-so-good/ Since my primary use of Evernote is to jot down music ideas while I wait for something else to process, I've decided that it's too many steps needed to use Evernote effectively.
