I've been a code monkey for the past few days. A very happy code monkey.
There is nothing quite as therapeutic as spending a few days speaking nothing but html and maybe some css and javascript. In terms of zen value, I totally equate it with auditing. Beautiful logic and syntax and grammar. You can't beat it.
Of course it's also very satisfying to spend hour upon hour stripping the WYSIWYG trash out of a document full of tables nested inside tables nested inside tables nested... ad infinitum. I can only assume that whoever put the original template together had only a very vague understanding of CSS because all they used the stylesheet for was formatting the fonts. This has been rectified: bye-bye nested tables, hello CSS!
In completely unrelated news, we watched Mysterious Skin last night, which was very interesting.
firejunkie looked very confused when the credits started rolling and nobody had died, and my comment was, "Wow. Gregg Araki's grown up," which all in all, might be a good review of the movie. This isn't meant as a criticism; rather it's meant as a compliment. While I'm fond of the other Araki movies I've seen (Nowhere and The Doom Generation), I thought this one was his best one yet. Of course, there are still aliens--otherwise it would hardly be an Araki movie, would it *g*
OK. Time to cook dinnner.
