Javascript was Invented by the Devil

Filed under: web design — admin @ 6:21 pm

I have been delving into learning advanced web languages beyond HTML/CSS. I’ve been learning Coldfusion in an erratic style, but I like it because it is intuitive. The tags make sense and they remind my of HTML. PHP is okay, because I can see parallels with Coldfusion. However, Javascript is evil. I hate the language. It is hard to debug and I’m completely unfamiliar with the way it looks. There are too many semi-colons and brackets and other crazy stuff. JQuery even has dollar signs, and I don’t understand why JQuery and Mootools can’t be used at the same time. Well, I do, I know I have to change the entire JQuery library to “no conflict mode,” but I hate how different Javascript codes can mess each other up. I wish everything were like Coldfusion, which tells me exactly where I messed up and what I need to fix. Javascript is evil.

Lazy Dog and Costco Dog Beds

Filed under: dogs — admin @ 7:00 pm

My sister took the cutest picture of Titus on his dog bed. He is such a lazy dog. I’m not really that into Costco but they do have awesome dog beds. Bart got the one he is sleeping on for $20 and it has a cedar filling and a removable cover. The only other good thing about Costco is the churros in their fast food area.

Dublin Art and Poulton & Sons

Filed under: art, found objects — admin @ 6:57 pm

At the Goodwill I found this interesting and small framed piece of art. At first I just liked the frame but now I like the whole thing. I am not sure where I will put it yet. It looks like it is a page from an old book of various views of Dublin. It was professionally matted so whomever had it must have really liked the piece. I think I paid $7 for it. I like Dublin as a city and this coming semester I will be taking a class on Ulysses so I like to think this is a good omen. The photographers were Poulton & Sons. I Googled them to try and get more information about them but all I learned was that they were late 1800s photographers who were well known in their day.
