Invoicing, New Apartments and Napping

As we get older, and our nights are earlier, that makes the early morning lifting sessions easier to do. Dave and I met again today before church. I like meeting before church because it is a time frame I might have been awake anyway, why not be productive and use that time to lift. Sarah usually needs most of that time to get ready, but said she would go with us if we could go a little earlier. Next time…

After church we closed out the service …

Looking forward to Superbad

Originally today was going to be really busy with Habitat in the morning for four hours. But now, we had the whole morning to do the catchup game. Catchup on all the neglected stuff from the past work week.

We got up early and took Nokes on a walk.

When we got back, Sarah played with the dog and I worked on the laptop, doing some vectorizing work of some arcade sideart (The Glob).

I decided to try more of our movie “21 Grams”. We watched about a …

The Glob custom kickplate

Rick asked me to give him a ring last night, and this is what we talked about. He said he has a set of sideart that he will take photos of, and was hoping that I could take the characters from “The Glob” and put together a custom kickplate. I told him that shouldn’t be a problem, send the photos my way.

I had never heard of the game, so I took a look at some photos. I would like to try playing it, the artwork is kind of strange looking …

Friday’s are good for winding down

Knowing that tomorrow we would be probably going to Habitat for humanity, Sarah and I wanted to take it easy. Not to mention our little late night last night baby sitting and watching the game with the Bolden’s.

Come to find out, looking at the information a little closer, I had my dates mixed up, so Habitat isn’t tomorrow but the end of the month. But we still just hung out.

We went to the gym right after work and got home to be with our puppy at …

Thinking more about artist for Jr. Pac-man machine

I have made a reminder on my calendar to research into the Jr. Pac-man arcade game artist eventually, but right now I have so many arcade related projects to do that I keep waiting to do the research.

But yesterday I found the artist for the Baby Pac-man machine by Bally. Now, the Bally/Midway pinball division was probably totally separate from the video division, but they may have still had some cross over and members of the arcade game art direction units may have known each other. I may …

Div tags disappearing in my WordPress Code View

I was having this issue, and I finally took the time to figure out why and what to do about it today. I searched the support forums and this is the post that I found that solved all of my problems.

Tiny MCE as configured in WordPress 2.1 wipes away divs and replaces them with p tags.

This can be fixed by doing the following:

1-Open your TinyMCE config file in an editor. The file is located at:
wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_config.php

2-Replace Line 25 with the following but on a single line:

$valid_elements = ‘#p[*],-div[*],-strong/-b[*],-em/-i[*],-font[*],-ul[*],-ol[*],-li[*],*[*]’;

3-Save the

WP-Sticky Plugin for WordPress

This was the problem I was having. I couldn’t figure out how to keep certain posts at the top of a section of posts in a category. There were some categories that I had what I would consider an “introduction” that I wanted to always be on top. This kind of breaks the format of a blog, but this is how I like things.

I did some searching on category related plugins, but the wp-sticky plugin is really what I was looking for.

When you go to write a …
