Last week the desktop computer I had been using since my junior year in high school began breaking down in ways strange enough to warrant its retirement. I’m sure I could have fixed it by replacing a few parts but it’s obviously much more exciting to build a brand new rig! Thanks to Newegg I’m now running:
2x250g WD SATA2 drives in RAID 1 (losing drives is painful!)
Other power-hungry parts
700w OCZ power supply (no I don’t need 700w, but it was only $10 more than the 520w!)
It’s nice being able to revisit the games that ran poorly on my old machine such as Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Hitman: Blood Money, etc. I haven’t found a game that this rig can’t handle, but I’m sure I won’t be saying that for too much longer. Better enjoy it while I can. :)
Had an idea to make a CSS preprocessor that would help solve many of the issues I have with CSS currently. Ideally it would:
Allow nesting of styles
Being able to nest styles ‘inside’ other styles would solve the problem of writing out tons of selector chains.
Automatically insert necessary attributes
For IE and other browsers. IE: automatically add ‘cursor:hand’ whenever ‘cursor:pointer’ is seen. Could also add the IE-specific opacity property
Allow use of variables
It’d be great to be able to reference a color by variable in multiple styles instead of having to update multiple styles when the color changes.
Looks like someone had a similar idea (but currently only does variables).
I started my first aquarium in early August but hadn’t taken any pictures of it until now (I need to get a camera of my own!). There are currently 19 fish and 5 different types of plants in here.
