Calling all carz
Since you dont check yer email that often, Elrick: What does the jazascript u have in this webpage do? I'm trying to figure it out between the book u lent me and messing around with HotMetal, but I'm still a little lost. Also, style-sheets are kinda throwing me for a batmantheride-loop - I think I understand the concept, but in THIS page you made "actionstyle" style sheet- what did you put in it? Sorry- maybe some of you gyros-of-teh-gnet can help- THANKS.
ADDED: In the process of answering my own questions, I came across this cool looking site called Code Punk where they've got a lot of tutorials on html stuff (including javascript coding) - so, I'll be checking it out, put please still help poor steverimsteve!

Phoenix is...
Pheonix(AKA Firebird) is mozilla browser code that has been revamped, cleaned, and stripped of non-essential features. Mozilla was good, but it just got to sluggish after a while and loaded with extra schtuffen. Phoenix has No mail, no crap, less bloat. They are still in beta mode, but I find that it is as stable as IE. It has all the compatibility (HTML, CSS, XML, DHTML, etc..) of mozilla 1.2 or netscape 7.2, but is a lot faster. It does still have a few quirks, but it is really strong for a 0.5 release. They are trying to put out 0.6, but they are having a name issue. Trademark BS.

yup- it crashed!
you dont remember them? yeah, its real- i used to have their 1st album "the menudo incident" and i just saw an ad for this one and thought it was pretty funny.
Boozilla
I had the regular mozilla on my comp, and it seemed just like Netscape- isn't it the same thing kinda? Is this phoenix one any better? They mention "multiple home pages" - that sounds pretty sweet!

ID Theft v2
Sorry I have not blogged in a while. Been busy.
Yeah Elric, I feel your vein. I too have been stung. In conjunction with the Auto theft I had I was forced to close two CC accts and block the crap out of my two Checking Accts. The reason I did not close the two checking accts is that I had some outstanding bill checks floating about. But I had them restrict wire transfers and all the checks stolen. One account I got closed okay; but the other, well.. Booooo.. Even though I had checks 140-150 blocked, 140, 144, 147, & 148 went through anyway. Appearently the bank fucked up and set the wrong block. Great. Now I have 532 dollars locked up in fraud research. Gotta love the scum that lives off the rest of us because they have nothing better to do. And yet again the old addage, 'good guys finish last' holds true. Fuckers Jerks... Oh if you do not already know about this, try calling 1.877.438.4338. That is the FTC Id Theft number. I have not called it yet but, they may be able to give you some four11.
Ummm DB design, I am very familiar with design theory and farily good at executive work for DB design at least with SQL+ and Access(Although it has been a bit with SQL). I have used ODBC interfacing through VB programming and it was pretty easy, but no other programming experience. DB online: I have had nil experience aside from very basic perl DBs, so I am not really a good resouce for any frontend programming/interfacing questions. SQL server usage: only design and end user on Oracle 8. Admin on SQL none. Why Ju Ask Mo Fo?
Jo Job is what? Okay today I did about 40 minutes of real work. In the order of time consumption, the balance of my work day consisted of Chatting it p with the co-workers, playing cards (Paigow, Poker, Spades, Solitare, and Crazy 8's), listening to and sharing musical recomendations, sleep, eating, shitting. Great. The whole week has been like this. Not really a good sign. In fact our supervisor let two of us leave 1hr 15min early each day and still clock in at a full 8 hrs. I get the feeling that if this keeps up we will have a little fat trimming. D'oh! Job market is for shit here!
It's pronounced NuKe-uLer.
PS Johnny, that sounds like a plan on the terraineous maximus.

The ID Thief Strikes Again
So the most recent attack has come in the form of a returned check from Robinsons/May in North Hollywood. Leslie's name and address were used in conjunction on a check with a guy named Kevin Chase. After some research, apparently Leslie and Kevin had an account with Technology Credit Union in Silicon Valley, wrote some checks, and then canceled the account. So it seems that the Kevin guy had his shit stolen too and closed some accounts too. The thing is that the chick at the TCU had no record of Leslie anywhere in their database, not her DL# (which was handwritten on the check, along with her "signature"), not her address, nothing. So it seems that the culplrit fuckhead DOCTORED checks, without actually opening any accounts. What the fuck. We finally spoke to a human being that was not "out of the office" in the West Hollywood PD, and they transferred us to another human being that told us there were 12,000 cases of ID theft in LA along last year, and only 5 detectives in ALL of LA to deal with those cases. The best thing for us to do is to keep copies of everything and in the future when this fuckingshitbag tries more things we can have ahuge file proving that we are not at fault to fax anyone who wants to know. Terrific. At least its good to know there are crimes that seriously are risk-free. I mean, we have video tape, eyewitness accounts, fingerprints (if anyone wanted to take them at the time), a paper trail, among other bits of evidence, that could be used to nab these fuckingassholeshitbagcocksuckersjerkz if anyone wanted to pursue the matter, and still nothing has been done. It just gets me thinging, whats the worst thing that could happen to me if I started ID theft? I'd probably get hit by the ONE sting operation a decade the Gov't launches to "keep ID theft at bay". Lucky me.

Ok....so I was just trying to get some morals across
an impressionalble young 15 year old mind and failed miserably. I think there's no curbing teenage morality, however corrupted our society has molded and instilled in their minds. I guess all the teenage people just think about being gangsters, thugs, and have lots of sex. Sigh... I guess we were like that? Or is it just me that it seems we weren't like that?

As Paul Barr would say,
"Duuuuuuuuuuuuude, Johnny!" I'm NOT going to San Fran this weekend. I was going to be going, but then I would have missed my 2nd Salsa class on Sunday (www.rudyssalsaclass.com), so I opted to miss the trip. Where's the love Jael, where..?
(even my fucking cat has a job!)
PS: Speaking of PB-Max, anyone heard from him lately?

CMON!! don't be retarded...
That's totally absurd and wrong! The sun is not closer than the moon, please... Everyone KNOWS that that's a trick question, both are equal distance. That's why every year we have one of those eclipse thingys when they collide and then a new moon and new sun appears. DUH!
So, I was reading that review on the bike, Brialliant... I wonder who that guy was? where did he come from? Man.... such pizzazz, brilliance, and idiom.
So I want to go to santa Crud this weekend. Apparently rudy is coming to SF, with his best bud dorian, but is not visiting his other buds...OKAY! Anyhow, the weather should be great, with all the rainyness hopefully out of the ecosystem. Any Takers from SF?
Remember Nuts?

Remember?
Remember those guys Ryan, Aaron and Mike? Those were great guys.
How Fucking Stupid Are We?
So I was doing work and looked at msn.com for testing purposes, and saw one of their daily features that read: Check Your Space I.Q. What's closer to the Earth, the Sun or Moon?
This is ridiculous. I might not be able to spell everything correctly all the time, I might be poor at Algebra, and I might not be able to split atoms, but for Christ's sake, I know the Sun is closer to the Earth than the Moon is.

Coming soon...
I bought a domain name the other day- its kinda corny, but i couldn't think of much else on the spur (it was an impulse buy) but i needed a place to be the eventual online home for my music. Bum badda bum: www.cafebeats.com . Yeah, we'll see how that goes. I'm using DotEasy which seems pretty cool- FREE hosting (its only 20 megs though) with NO popups or ads- i also reg'd my name through them, which cost $25 bucks (a year), but otherwise, no monthly costs, and if for some reason I need boo-koo space, they offer all kinds of wierd upgrade options. Eh. So, thanks to Elrick, King of Dork Tower, for lending me these html books- easy enough to follow, but I discovered one important detail: a webpage needs CONTENT. I don't know what the hell to put on it. :(
In other extremely important and super-exciting news, I bought a new keyboard at Fry's - $5.99 baby! It works like a chamr (sic) !
Added: Ok, started doing some shit with the site- I already asked Elrick if I could copy THIS site to start with, so yeah- its a cheap ripoff (and non of the links go anywhere) but i'm trying. I was just looking at your site Myke- looks awesome. If you don't mind, maybe i can steel some ideas of of you too!
