  • Ah, work

    I came very early to work anticipating loads of things to do for this early morning (central time) test we have. But then I had to wait an hour past schedule because of some dependency. Then it was moved further in the afternoon (central time) because something came up. So I was pretty much forced…

  • Of codes and stale coffee

    I’m trying to see if Blogger has any form of default code formatting. <script type=’text/javascript’> var obj0=document.getElementById(&quot;adsmiddle1<data:post.id/>&quot;); var obj1=document.getElementById(&quot;adsmiddle2<data:post.id/>&quot;); var s=obj1.innerHTML; var r=s.search(/x3C!– adsense –x3E/igm); if(r&gt;0) {obj0.innerHTML=s.substr(0,r);obj1.innerHTML=s.substr(r+16);} </script> Ooooh, looks like the code needs to be parsed and enclosed in <pre> and <code> tags so they could be displayed properly.
