Hey… I think I kinda need this tarot deck for my collection.

EDITED: Ok, they are mine now.

I decided I needed some new icons on my mac, to spruce things up a bit. So I went to check out xicons, to see what was new. I downloaded this set I liked, bright colors, big fat happy icons, and did something I rarely do, read the ReadMe. In the readme, there was a link to a second page, an artist’s note, so I started reading that. It thanked me for downloading the icons, and hoped I enjoyed them, and hey, could he tell me something? Ten years ago, he made the most important decision of his life, you see stuff doesn’t last forever, your computer is obsolete in a couple of months, your car will break down, your flowers will die, and so will you. In fact, there is only one thing that will be there, for all eternity, one thing you can count on…. that’s right… . JESUS CHRIST. This made me laugh out loud. The kinda laugh that the entire department can hear. It was just so… unexpected. And ridiculous. It went on to talk about Jesus and why should should accept Jesus in your heart and yadda yadda get a bible, if this note changed your life, let me know. Oh please. Now, I know he had the best Christian intentions when writing this, and it’s probably trés disrespectful of me to mock it, but give me a break. First and foremost, I really don’t think a note is going to convert anyone. Second, I hate it when people insert Jesus where he doesn’t belong. Keep that Jesus fellow in your heart, not in your ReadMe’s. And thirdly, just see my previous note about giving me a break.

I still like the icons, tho. Silly Christians.

Movable Type ‘nofollow’ plugin

01.18.2005

Today we are pleased to announce our full support for the rel=”nofollow” attribute to hyperlinks introduced to address the main cause of weblog spam: the payoff of higher placement in search engine results.

This initiative, with announced support from Google, Yahoo, MSN (and surely more to come), will direct search engines to ignore links with this attribute set for the purposes of spidering or increasing search engine relevance or ranking.

I just installed this plug-in. And it makes me feel all giddy inside, like I’m ruining the fun of comment spammers. Which is an idea that I love. It’s a delicious feeling. My advice to you, if you use MT, go out and get the plug-in, so you, too, can ruin the fun of the spammers. It’s us vs. them, troops.

I just want to check some changes I made to my RSS Index template.

I think it’s a little too light.

Out with the holiday theme colors and in with a classic navy and grey. Because.. why not. Sort of a wintery set of colors. Maybe.

Just so you know I could have gone with a Valentine’s Day theme, but I respect you guys too much.

I heard my first Ashley Simpson song last night. I had no idea what she sang, or why she was even famous. I just knew that she freaked out on SNL when her voice tape malfunctioned, and people booed her at the orange bowl. So, her song is in a commercial. For shampoo that makes your hair pretty when you blow it dry. Something to do with the heat. And they put her name and the song title in the corner, like it’s a little video, instead of a commercial. And you know what that song is called? “You make me want to La-La.” Wow. Stuff makes me want to la-la all the time. So I completely understand. One time, when I had the stomach flu, I la-la’d every hour, on the hour, for 22 hours straight. It sucked. So, that was my first, and hopefully last, exposure to the 2nd Simpson sister. It bothers me that I am even taking the time to write about it, however the god damn song is now stuck in my head. I was hoping this might exorcise it.

I have that Friday afternoon feeling… like I need to get in my car and go-go-GO. How unfortunate that I have so much work to do. Oh why did I ever grow up?

6:04 pm: EDITED TO ADD:

it worked. After I posted this, I no longer sang “you make me want to la la” over and over. I started singing Better than Ezra’s “Good.” A much better song.

It has been suggested that those of us with laptops should take them home. In case of inclement weather tonight. So we can work from home, in necessary. But I have no faith in the inclement weather. After being so disappointed last Friday. Nonetheless, I will take my laptop home. Of course, if the entire site shuts down, it’s an automatic PTO day. A free PTO day. In which case, should I work from home? or should I hang out in my pajamas all day reading and eating doublestuff oreos?

No, jodiferous.com has not propagated to the new server yet. But I imagine it will do that any day now. But rather, and spectacular genius named Sephira contacted me, and told me how to hack my .cfg file, in order to by-pass cyberpixels’ tyranny. I feel so naughty. I notice that she has the instructions up on her blog, in case anyone needs them.

Thanks Sephira!!
