Yesterday was portfolio review day for my admission to the Imaging and Digital Arts major at UMBC. I updated (read foobarred) this page by accidentally saving over it, downloading it from webjump and uploading the new version without removing the banner frame at the top. This caused the page to not load so UMBC got nothing. zip. nada. 404error. I’ll never forget the moment when a friend called and said “Hey man, what’s up with your site? It’s not working or something…”

I have been reading all the literature I can get my hands on concerning cascading style sheets and graphic web design to speed up page loading. The style sheet ref page has been revamped and a new logo is in the works which can be seen on the bottom of all the pages now. I am still in the process of tweaking it both compositionally and lowering download time. Stay tuned…

@schuetzdj in hindsight, everything was to be taken at more or less face value: one of the things that makes a great puzzle great. =] #DBIR

@christopherkunz nice work! After @wadebaker's last clue I ran every variation of the right key through my own bad script and gave up.

@marcusjcarey thanks, I'm very much enjoying the Bay Area. The return of @dojosec/@dojocon streams is great news, I look forward to 'em.

I should use Entourage's auto-capitalization of the first word after e.g. to break myself of using latinate abbreviations. Instead: rage.

@kathybarnett way to go Kath!

Yes, yes, of course, but what is the zeroth law of the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote? http://goo.gl/i2Jz

@alexhutton I cut out the cover's circles on a full print out of the #DBIR with a razor and tried the grille-cipher approach. #nbioahd

The body language of appearing to be lost or have forgotten something is as effective as mind control. So is its inverse.
