Today was so tired and gloomy! Ick. It rained most of the day and was in general a humid, icky day; the whole city stinked. I spent most of the day skinning an internal blog for company-wide use. We started using Drupal after going through so many different CMS software packages out there. We even thought of building one but it was a huge headache to even try to plan out.
Drupal even has instructions for switching from Movable Type to Drupal. Who knew? But so far, I myself don’t like it. I need more back-end control then what Drupal affords its users. Took me a better part of the day to find out how to add a class to a table cell in some forsaken template file in some crazy folder. Uggh!! CSS tableless layouts is the new black!

My supervisor at work sent…
My supervisor at work sent a few people this:
Carlos Segura’s (very own secret) rate card:
$150/hr Standard Rate
$200/hr if you want it NOW
$250/hr if you want to watch over my shoulder while I work
$300/hr if you want to help
$400/hr if you worked on it first
I think this is an idea we should apply to all our jobs!

So you can be up-to-date,…
So you can be up-to-date, here’s a link to Valid DTDs straight from W3C. These are what you put at the beginning of your html document to let the browser know what you’re coding in.
A DTD is:
Short for document type definition. A DTD states what tags and attributes are used to describe content in an SGML, XML or HTML document, where each tag is allowed, and which tags can appear within other tags. For example, in a DTD one could say that LIST tags can contain ITEM tags, but ITEM tags cannot contain LIST tags. In some editors, when authors are inputting information, they can place tags only where the DTD allows. This ensures that all the documentation is formatted the same way. Applications will use a document’s DTD to properly read and display a document’s contents. Changes in the format of the document can be easily made by modifying the DTD.
Webopedia – http://webopedia.com/TERM/D/DTD.html
The DTD I use the most is usually:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/ xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Our volleyball team for work…
Our volleyball team for work lost our second game today. Kinda sad but we got some really good players and others that are kinda not so really good. I’d like to think that we play for fun. I actually had some company in the sidelines this time. First it was one girl’s sister and her mom. Then they left early into the game and this other girl came with her boyfriend so he sat with me. Another girl’s husband came with their kid but he didn’t want to sit—turns out it’s cuz the kid’s fidgety.
I left before the game was over because it was getting late. It was 8pm when I left, 8:30pm when I got to the bus stop, 9+pm when the train dropped me off at my stop, and I got home close to 10pm.
