Day 2.

194.6/198.6

Total Loss 4/68.6 | 4/38.6

I worked my ass off all those years ago to lose weight, and I did it really quickly.


Now it's all fucked. I look like crap, and I don't have the time or energy to feel like I can do it all again.


I want to wake up tomorrow and be 135lbs again.

I want the excess post-pregnancy skin to have magically shrunk away.

I want my muscle tone back.

I promise I'll stay on the right path, heartbreak or not, to maintain it this time. Even if I get pregnant again, I'll eat right and exercise and will never eat another bite of pasta again.

See, I smile.

I'm sure you'd like it a lot - so here's something I discovered at http://etatdesieges.com/_assets/scripts/ie6fix/

Googling - I found http://code.google.com/p/ie7-js/


This is a very interesting project. It's a JavaScript library that brings IE7 compatibility to IE5-6.

And, the best thing is that it works. We no longer need to not use CSS2 + CSS3 + PNGs for the sake of the 30% of people still browsing with IE6.

Woo wooo.

I will be installing it on my site for the png support shortly. The HTC fix doesn't work in Ruby on Rails - so this is a huge help.

Hi guys, please check out http://www.cherstewart.com when you get a chance, I've put up a new design and a new site application in Ruby on Rails. Pretty snazzy because it's a MySQL Database Driven site, with a CMS that I built. Prettttty cool!

Problem: Your layout has a div within the main content, let's say a sidebar. You would like this to be the same height as the main content, even though there is less content, however, you do not want to set a height to either the main content or the sidebar. Let's say you have a border separating the two, or a lovely off-set background image in your sidebar. There is a way!

Here's your markup:
<div class="content"> <div class="main"> this is my foobar blog </div> <div class="secondary"> here is my sidebar </div> </div>

Let's say you want your sidebar on the right and your main content on the right.
Here's your CSS.

div.content { position:relative; width:800px; } div.main { width:420px; float:left; } div.secondary { width:300px; position:absolute; top:0px; bottom:0px; }

I've found a few other uses for this method, as well, but this seems to be the most wide-spread. Feel free to comment with other uses!

This DOES also work with horizontal content. Just use left/right instead of top/bottom. You can also use all four to fill the space entirely.

By the way, I drew a new penguin, so you guys should go check it out!!

Also, I have a few more layouts I will be adding at freelayouts, at some point.

Check out the site, http://www.cherstewart.com when you get a chance!

I am seriously looking for a PHP or Ruby Developer to partner with, so if you are interested in starting a design/development business that already has a great site design and idea, get in touch with me.

Awesome!

So, I can now create my Static Websites in Ruby on Rails, it just keeps getting better and better. I can use HAML and SASS to build a STATIC site. This will make designing go ten times faster, plus I can include partials for items that are reused ie: my blog interface, headers, footers, legal information, photo galleries... that kind of thing.

I decided to up my bidding on the freelance sites I'm on (I'm working ultra-double time to start working from home), so I hope that I start pulling in enough work on the side to support that move. Plus, I am working with a consultancy doing front-end development (one client includes Behr paint), so that will actually probably be enough to make a great living with or without the design-on-the-side.

With all of the technology and knowledge I have at my fingertips... the jobs should be rolling in!
