No, it's not 42.

To begin with, I must explain that the universe tends towards the lowest level of energy. This process is called entropy. Think about it, we started off with the 'Big Bang'; everything was in one location, and BOOM! it exploded out - and thus began entropy. The 'Big Bang' was the maximum energy level and everything after gets weaker and weaker.

But how does this relate to life? I'll tell you! Gawd, just hold on fool!

Ok, I just had an epiphany about getting a page to display properly in both FireFox and evil-IE.

Don't use padding ... ever.

Stupid IE uses padding in a non-standard manner. Therefore, it may require a little more coding, but use margins instead.

So to replace padding with margin, you need to nest a div INSIDE the div you would be padding. And use margin to keep the nested div the needed distance from the original div border.

Hoooooooora!

Alas, we all knew this day would come. It was inevitable that the constant flux of the english language would eventually replace or drop such a near and dear word.

Hehehehe, use this on your friends! The shear irony of them being gullible enough to believe that gullible was dropped is genius!!!

This just came to me ... hope you like it.

Zeba Hussain; the nicest person you could meet.
What she did with hair was quite a feat.
She chatted and cut then colored and curled.
And through it all she took care of her three girls.

A finer set of daughters you'll never see.
Even if you traveled from sea to sea.

Together they all shared laughter and tears.
For many, long, beautiful years.

Though fate forced her to leave us too soon,
we will always count knowing her a boon.

Though fate forced her to be gone,
her soul remains in those who live on.

- Peace

Ok, the funniest thing happened yesterday.

Anum (my 18 month old niece) was over, and she was trying to get into one of the kitchen cabinets. I, on the other hand, was stopping her from opening the aforementioned cabinet by placing a hand over the two doors.

Upon seeing this, Anum would promptly push my hand away and say 'No'. And then I would just switch to using my other hand to block the cabinet. So she and I went back and forth like this a good 5 or 6 times.

FINALLY, Anum became soooo frustrated with my shenanigans that she screamed 'MAMOOOOO!!!!!' to get me to stop.

Ok, I did another search on Google, and I found this (it's cached on Google here). It is someone else's take on the crash.

I've copied the relevant part of the post here.

So I've just been randomly trolling the Net, and I came across this. Hehe, it's soooo coool.

It's basically a football sized/shaped, phased array satellite antenna that you can stick on a mobile platform (think car). But wait! there's more! ... This antenna has no moving parts, but can maintain/track a focused connection to a satellite. That's crazy! And the best part is that's it's modular, each segment of the spheroid is the same, that's sooooo cooool.

Summary: A Co-Op student at my company's hosting provider 'accidentaly' crashed and subsequently destabalized my production server on Friday.

Ah, well, looks like we're going to be looking into automatically mirroring our production sites AND implementing a 'gatekeeper' permission required system before we let anyone at the hosting provider touch our servers again.

Stupid Co-Op.

Ok, take a tablet PC + a whole array of cool ultrasonic & magnetic sensors (with a dash of some radar sensors too ;) and then slap it all together.

Basically, I want a device that you put flat against a wall/surface, and it will display what's behind/inside that wall for you. Kinda like a virtual hole thingy.

Thus, this will take all the guess work out of fishing/finding wires, piping, studs, anything. Wouldn't that be awsome!

Yes, that is correct. You see, The week does not begin on Monday for me. Instead, the week begins on Saturday.

Thus, while other people are cursing Monday for ruining the beginning of the week, I am cursing Monday for ending what was the start of a beautiful week.
