CSS, Carts, and IRC Flame.
by Slack, on April 2nd, 2003
So, I added CSS to my list of items I need to learn. You see, I went into an IRC chat room looking for help with my new PHP Cart. There was a FONT tag that wasn’t being seen in Navigator, but it was being seen in Exploder. We’ll I got flamed for asking about it in the #PHP room. lol I should have known better, but damn. It was like calling the phone company and pressing the wrong button in the phone tree. I could understand the reaction if I had asked them how to bake a chocolate mousse cake. Sure, *THAT* would be off topic, but come on. Anyhoo, I got blasted about my failure to pay attention to room names, and for using depreciated tags in my code. ::sigh:: I know. So, I learned CSS last night. Man, how did I live with out it! To all you armchair web designers out there: Learn CSS! It’s easy and only takes a couple hours max. Great tutorial here.
My cart is at about 10% – 15% complete. Still have a long way to go. But, I’m learning PHP pretty quick. Damn it feels good to be learning again. Management sure can rot your mind. I don’t know what I was thinking when I went that way. Never again. I feel like I wasted years off my life. Really terrible.
Well, that’s the news here. I’m outa here. OH! PS: Can you believe Geraldo and his “sandmaps”? What a fucking twit. I hope he was promptly flogged and beaten with a wet noodle.
