People are impressed by my cooking. Not just the fact that it is as good as the finest restaurants in the area, but by the fact that is comes in the same take-out boxes.
A frustrating 3 hours with PhotoShop
I just spent 3 hours with PhotoShop trying to make a single damn button for a web page. The first hour or so was spent trying to remember how to use PhotoShop, which I guess I haven’t used in over 10 years. What saved me was C coming to my rescue and brainstorming (she was the brain, I was the storm) about how to use it. I can’t believe how it hasn’t improved once inch since the 1980s!
This piece of crap software is what the entire universe still uses? This fucked up, icons from hell, anti-usable piece of shit is paying Adobe’s bills?
Isn’t there anything out that for the Mac that does LAYERS and has a user interface designed in this decade?
FUCK!

WordPress is amazing
Previously I asked if I should use WordPress or MovableType. Many people said I should select WordPress.
I didn’t want to bias the comments, so I didn’t tell people that the site I was setting up was already a WordPress site, but I had stopped in December 2005 because I got busy with other projects. At the time I found WP to be painful to use. However, I figured that it must have gotten better over the years.
My hosting provider upgraded to the latest WP release and some things broke, but I was able to fix them. However, I wasn’t getting all the amazing new features that everyone was talking about. After a few hours of debugging I finally realized that the upgrade process doesn’t overwrite many files (better safe that sorry). Once I manually overwrote those files, I got all the amazing drag-and-drop stuff, widgets, and other cool features that I had been told about.
I’m very impressed.
Now I just need a widget that lets me include raw HTML so that I can hack around the fact that I can’t find Widgets that do certain things. (that would let me avoid editing the header.php or index.php files). Anyone know of such a plug-in or widget?
