Thank God for CSS!

Ack! Information overload! Prior to launching its portal (”a rose by any other name…”), Google launches the Google Factory Tour, a media event that drums up their technologies, behind-the-scenes, among others. Webcast (RealMedia or Windows Media Player) is available here.

This is what my Thunderbird RSS inbox looks like right now. I also use Feedster so I can browse feeds I subscribe to even when I’m away from the ‘bird.

I’m up to my nostrils in work. My desktop is a freakin’ mess, with windows opened all over the place. Got to add more workspaces…

Fudging with the PHP templating engine and miscellaneous bits of code from the CMS. By tomorrow, I’m hoping to fully dissect the engine and come up with
my own. I’m still busy noting the functions and classes. I’ll probably have a
half-decent documentation next week. I hope.

On a side note, I’m still very frustrated with PostgreSQL. I still couldn’t find the right combination in the pg_hba.conf that would allow me to connect to the database through PEAR. Oh well, it’s a separate thing
entirely — it’s a test system I’ll be deploying soon — it can wait.

And, oh: I was also to upload a news story and the newsletter yesterday. Today, I uploaded another news story and the posters. Doing these in the static site is such a pain, I can’t wait to deploy the CMS.

Our BOFH net-admin got his already, but I signed up earlier than him.

Update: Got mine two weeks after.
