I finally learned how to upload pictures onto the website. Shawn keeps changing things around on me and I have to relearn almost every time I want to add pictures. I you want prints of any of them, send me an email with the album name and the picture numbers. I'll send them to your local Wal-Mart for you to pick up!
Woohoo! Finally!!! As Karen said, I've been able to start working more normal hours lately.
Sadly, the demo is kinda hidden in the E3 2007 section. Hopefully we can resolve that and bring it to the main page where it belongs.
Things are going well here. Shawn is finally at a slowing point at work. We saw him more last week than we have in the 7 months we've lived here. It was very weird having him around. I left him and the kids here on Saturday and got my hair cut and stayed out all day shopping for things for the house. It was nice to finally have a day for myself. I had my final eye surgery on the 28th of June, so I glad that's over with. I can see! (most of the time) The left eye's great but the right eye comes and goes. I was the bad eye to begin with!
The kids are going stir crazy in the house! It has rained every day, so the ground is too went to play on. We go to the mall sometimes to play there, but it is so crowded because everyone else has the same idea. We went to Six Flags on Sunday. We still haven't made it through the whole park. We bought season passes, so we are taking it a little bit at a time. I think I need to find a chiropractor after riding the wooden roller coaster! That was the roughest riding roller coaster I have ever been on! I thought I'd broken a rib. Rachel was a very brave girl and rode a big roller coaster that you go upside down twice. She was scared to death, but she made it. She says she won't do it again, but I have a feeling she'll want to when we go back! We all got to ride that Rapids ride. Jax and I got the brunt of all the water. We were soaked to the core and of course, I wore thin, light colored pants. So everybody got to see my lovely green panties. Needless to say, I was not a happy mommy.
Jax had his 2 year visit this morning at the doctor. 34.4 lbs and 38 inches tall. He's in the 95% for those two things, but in the 40% for head size. He's got a small noggin like his mom. Hey, I turned out ok. Rachel has a loose tooth, but I won't let her touch it. I think she's too young to be losing teeth, especially the top ones. I don't know if she hit it on something or what, but I don't want her messing with it.
The house is finally coming together. I need a few more things and I think I'll be content with it for a while. Why is it so hard to pick out lamps? You'd think that would be an easy task, but it's not for me. Still need little wall decor items, but I'm sure I find those here and there when I'm out and about.
We are still waiting for visitors! If you want to come, come on. Just give me at least 5 hours notice!
Gonna go for now! Love you all!
There are only a couple of lines of code I've put in my main page's PHP to support a random image from G2's photo gallery:
<link rel="stylesheet" href=http://WEBSITE/gallery2/main.php?g2_controller=imageblock.ExternalCSS>
<?php
@readfile('http://WEBSITE/gallery2/main.php?
g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=randomImage&
g2_show=date|views');
?> Of course, the link part goes in your <head> section and the readfile part goes in your <body> section somewhere...
Setting the stylesheet allows you to control the view from within G2's Image Block admin page. Click on the Image Block link from G2's site admistration and it will give you an exact link to put into your own website based on your own G2 installation settings. You can modify several parameters within the link as described on the admin page.
Here is another gameplay video of Stuntman: Ignition, this time it's a whole level of the Aftershock movie, Lavaflow. It's one of the easier levels to string, too bad the driver in this clip couldn't pull it off. I'm pretty sensitive to framerate issues within the game, but the slowdowns you may see here are video latency, not framerate within the game. Enjoy the lava goodness!
What can I do to fix tearing in IE 6.0? I haven't validated against Safari or IE 5.5, but Firefox renders my pages just fine. I've validated the HTML and CSS and am happy with its results. It's almost as though the line-height parameter is being randomized as it strips out portions of random lines throughout a div when scrolling up or down... When I remove the background-color property, everything works fine which is why their is no background color in the homepage's content divs.
Here is a screenshot of it in action:
But then again, in this example, the bottom of the longer letters such as p, y, and g get their last pixels rendered.
Update (7/1/07): Turns out it was a combination of line-height and background-color. Using both caused the issue, so I removed the line-height setting from my <p> section and the background-color can stay without tearing. Yay for IE6!
