deep thoughts (on missing class tomorrow)

my own deeply ingrained sense of guilt (damn those nun!) is making me feel bad for missing class on thursday. it's not like i have a choice in whether or not to attend the wedding rehearsal -- i'm part of the wedding.

don't get me wrong, i am looking forward to sitting around with our friends and dishing about the state of world affairs (and other tasty gossip).

no, this has more of a playing hooky type of feel to it. so I'm trying not to dodge my responsibilities i.e., all the freakin' reading, posting and finishing up project 1. my fear is that if i don't they'll gang up on me next week and i'll have a panic attack.

thoughts on chapter 6
it's common sense, no? making links usable, using headers and subheaders to break out the infamous wall of words we've all run up against?

but the kicker for me was the section on only using bold to make text pop out. any graphic designer can tell you a 1,000 stories of people asking:

why can't you make it red? or underline it, too? i really want to make this stand out. if you only make it dance and add a subliminally naked chick behind the headline for a kid's swimming class, i'm sure the dads will look at it...

my point is, i'm gonna freakin' print out that section and laminate that sucker to hand out with business cards. oh hello, yes, you are an idiot. here's my card -- on the back is written proof that you are....indeed... an idiot. cheers!

uploading project 1
not sure if it's because it's wayyy after midnight or what, but i can't log onto the ftp site. when i type in url listed on the notes and swap in my username, i get an error code.

did anyone else run into this problem? or am i having a blonde moment? elizabeth can you email me offline with what could be causing this? the exact error is a "530 Login Incorrect."

Other than that, have a good class folks and i'll see you next week.
