Last day at my internship. The bosses are taking me out for lunch so I can enjoy their tirades about the evil Hillary Clinton one last time.

To anyone who wants to start a website...
AVOID WORDPRESS!!! REALLY!!!
The platform is easy to use and it does have a lot of nice designs that one can adjust to one's specifications... but it also comes with extremely annoying limitations (or bugs, depending on how you see it). Two problems I ran into are the following :
- If you intend to use Paypal, be aware that scoll-down buttons (for different shipping options, for example) are not supported by Wordpress. Bleh. You can circumvent the problem by putting multiple buttons, one for each option, but it looks a lot clunkier.
- Link anchors don't actually work; they take you to the top of the page you link to instead of the anchor itself. Judging from the Wordpress message boards, many have torn their hair out checking and rechecking their html code before learning that this is just how it is. Some posters with far better web fu than mine have proposed several lines of code meant to circumvent the problem, but none of them seem to work consistently. They sure didn't for me.
I first decided to use Wordpress because the idea of a drag and drop website building tool sounded easier than writing everything from scratch. I should have known that when something looks too easy to be true, it is! Now I'm too lazy to do everything over, but I wish I had gone some other way.

What, they're also on the 'Trump is the saviour of the USA' bandwagon? I would say it's less pro-Trump and more that their staunchly anti-Hillary. They're both jaded conservatives who think the GOP is corrupt, but would never vote for a Democrat come hell or high water.

Oh hell it's been an out of the blue busy week at work. I don't think I've posted anything. I've logged in with intentions but never did.
Just finally got back from running around and doing errands for my now teen son's birthday. I'm wore out. I think I'm going to relax with a beer and a comic or play some soothing Minecraft.
Either way I'll try and catch up with everyone later today or tomorrow. Because I hope it's still busy at work and stats that way. I haven't been paying attention but it feels like the price of a barrel of oil went up. But it may have just been a fluke of a week.

Too bad I won't be able to go to Amsterdam Comic Con next week. I'm missing out on the chance to meet Kristian Nairn, Natalia Tena, David Prowse, Julie Benz, James Marsters, Carl Weathers, Peter Mayhew, Lance Henriksen, and Chris Judge.
That's a pretty cool line-up, but right now I ain't got the disposable monies, so I'll sit this one out. 1st world problems!

Mormel, meeting Lance Henrickson would be so cool. I'll really like his acting and even watch things like Hellraiser 17 (or whatever it was subtitled) because he's in it. I think Pumpkinhead was probably his best performance.
I am reading Death's Head II #13 (1993) and according to Dan Abnett in the prologue, humanity terra formed Mars for humans in 201. And Clinton city, named after the former president who inaugurated the Mars Expansion was completed in 2026. So maybe Hiliary will do something good if she does get elected.

I have a few external hard drives with handwritten labels on them to keep my PC free of memory
Downloaded CDs, Audiobooks, Videos, Pictures etc wind up transferred eventually to it's proper hard drive
It's time to transfer files tonight and I'm looking at the portable hard drive and the label says
AVOID
I don't remember writing that. What does it mean? Dare I check it out?
Seriously, I'm pondering this for a few minutes and then I figure it out
Man, do I feel stupid and I should write a little neater too

I managed to get the cops called on me while house sitting this week. One of the cats got out after I had brought them all in and when I tried to catch it next to a neighbor's garage they thought I was a prowler.

I hope you did a good job explaining your actions with the cops! ... I would like to know the rest of the story if you care to share!

It wasn't as exciting as it sounds. I just explained that I was looking for a cat and that was the end of it.
