The kids seem especially restless this summer. Casey is finally figuring out that there are repercussions for disobeying her parents, Orion is spending a lot of time in front of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and Sydney seems to be sorta going with the flow.
So, the bible thumpers are at it again. This video is pretty old, but I just came across it, and I’m sure it’s still going on. Watch closely, and really listen to what these people are saying.
Brainwashing Children is Evil
School is starting in a little under 3 weeks for me, and I guess you could say I’m a touch nervous. I’m 35 and I’ve been out of the whole school mindset for almost 20 years now, so the idea of filing into a classroom again is a little scary. I don’t remember anything by way of math beyond pre-algebra (and don’t much care to :D), and this $150 calculator they had me buy for class (TI 84 Plus) might as well be in Greek (oh wait, I think some of it is).
Back in the day your CMS of choice was probably PHP-Nuke, Post-Nuke, or EZ-Content. Back in the day you made full images of what your site would look like, then you sliced them up to fit like tiles into a table so they would display the picture you wanted on the screen. Back in the day if your site was dynamically-driven like this, designing a theme for one of these systems damn-near required a degree in math.
Thank the gods for progress!
I’m something of an over-opinionated guy, but I tend to be right quite a bit, and either way am almost always entertaining about it. Consider “Daede Speaks” to be a chronicle of my opinions; a place where you can find out how I feel about just about anything. I’ll try to keep things separated into the established sub-categories, but if something comes along that warrants a new one, I’ll add it (Categories (Informs, Rants, Raves, Rambles), on the other hand, I won’t be adding to).
I welcome open debate and comments on anything I have to say – and say what you mean, because I promise I will.
I will most likely be adding new technology to the site as the weeks pass, so keep your eyes peeled and let me know of any bugs or problems.
Also, I do NOT develop for IE (any version). I should not have to do something twice because one guy wants to be different. The site works in IE, but if you want to see it as intended, you need to use a better browser (there are plenty out there).
