Sometimes making design decisions can be much more frustrating and time consuming than actual implementation.
IE7 supports the “a + b” CSS selector syntax? Nice. Didn’t realize that.
LocalJumpError, we are no longer friends. Who put you on my Christmas card list in the first place?!

Today is an exhilarating day wherein I do laundry and wish I could find a locksmith who is open today. :P

Key broke in the door right when I was locking up to go and make key duplicates. Awesome.
Excellent! Now I have the interwebs at my new place. Now to start figuring out how to arrange the living room…
RT @gwennluin: Fave random pic of the week: http://bit.ly/HBhNL - That IS terrible!
People, stop getting your webhosting from your domain registrar. Most of the big domain registrars are overpriced + kinda suck for hosting.
Hopefully I’ll get to both sign my contract and get my keys today! Eee.
No, person who put me on hold. You may not call me “Josh”. That isn’t even close to being my name.
We have some furniture that we’re getting rid of: pink desk, big wooden bookshelves, a big wooden entertainment center. http://bit.ly/JeiEU
On @chasingdharma’s recommendation I watched Glee. Enjoyable! I have something to fill the void in my life until I’m able to get S4 of HIMYM

Dear Browser Cache: We are no longer friends. You need to get better at reading my mind.
What to do with old text books? Have 6 I want to sell/donate/give/recycle. Don’t know who/where/how. Libraries + goodwill don’t take them.
Lately I’ve had the urge to play Pikmin, but I don’t own it and I have no clue who still sells gamecube games.
Today is Refactor Friday.
Getting a call from the mechanic informing me that I need approx 1 lb of flesh to pass inspection is not the best way to start the day. :P
Electric razors are bullshit. No exception.
Sometimes I think I have abnormally high luck.
Way to dump core, #phusionpassenger. (Granted, a slightly new release fixed that problem it seems, so I shouldn’t be complaining…)

I think there might be an inverse correlation between the newness of a job and the volume of my daytime tweets.
waiting in line at the olive garden. oh mothers day.
sometimes the prettiest songs are in ugly colored books. now waiting for a train to nyc with @amandabear @chasingdharma and mike.
I keep on starting epic posts, running out of time, and marking them as private. At the time I intend to go back and flesh them out later, but when later comes either they no longer feel relevant or just don’t seem interesting anymore. Clearly I am not a very good blogger. In avoiding that trap, I’m going to try to keep this short and on point. Except for that meta-paragraph above....
waiting in line for 8pm startrek. should have brought a book. I have no attention span.
My lord, PennDOT. Someone ought to stab you in the eye.

Attended my 1st PLUG meeting. Now I know about some git commands I skimmed over when reading the docs. Useful! Now for “How I Met..” S2.
I’m… confused? The boss of the boss of my boss didn’t know this is my last week? Even though it was his decision? Weird. Oh well.
I have a sinking feeling that lilypond would come much easier to me if I knew scheme. Who knew there’s a practical application for scheme?!
Inconsistent function naming in PHP’s standard library is so annoying. (This time, implode/join instead of array_join has my goat.)
Wow. 30-40 spams in my inbox so far today. Has anyone else’s GMail spam filter quit on them today?
septa = clusterfuck. green line = down + el = stalled b/c druggie od’d + fell on tracks. all people headed to w. phila were trapped @ 15th.
