  46. @cyhuckaba Ah! I see how to make height: 100%; work now that you mention it. (I try to shy away from all of the percentage-based effects.)
  47. height: 100%; does not behave well in Firefox. Try to avoid using this styling on a div.

  51. having trouble gripping that I no longer work at @Headspring ... Whoa )http://yfrog.com/mba9rj
  52. today is my last at @headspring (@jaeschke)http://yfrog.com/mba9rj
  53. @timtyrrell The same back to you sir.
  54. I've had some butterflies about backing out of one commitment for another... but I have to do what is best for me.
  55. in the last day and a half things changed for me / will work at framesdirect.com for New Iron in lieu of National Oilwell Varco for KForce
  56. Good to meet Bryan Bilbrey tonight at AgileAustin... Good socializing with @pedroreys and @ajepst
  57. awake and out for a walk ...the last few days have been so crazy... I haven't had much exercise and it is catching up with me
  58. Ugh... and HAVE a Sonic Blast with M&Ms...
  59. stressed... :( ...I am going to go to Sonic and a Sonic Blast with M&Ms
  60. path = path.Replace(@"\\", @"\"); ...clean away double backslashes
  61. the basic constraint of model-driven design: the model supports an effective implementation and abstracts key domain knowledge
  62. ...to the user to a greater extent than with other design approaches. Revealing the model gives the user access to the potential of the app.
  63. When a design is based on a model that reflects the basic concerns of the users and domain experts, bones of the design may be revealed...
  64. @rodwhisnant You are my token only friend on Gowalla. Now that we're connected my iPhone is constantly giving me alerts on what you're doing
  65. I could pen a novel on WYSIWYG editors and their pitfalls... today I realized there is no GOOD way to delete files in the FCKEditor... grrr
  66. @johnsheehan good to meet you today John... (I'm guessing that was you at @headspring 's office today)
  67. @parsley23 ...that kills my idea for sharing your music. Boo!
  68. @parsley23 ...as a going away gift. I tried to order 20 copies of your CD from CD Universe, but CD Universe would have to back order them.
  69. @parsley23 this is my last week at the job I've held for 5 years and I was going to give each of my coworkers a copy of "Who's Got Trouble?"
  70. thinking about how phone number links are imposed on your HTML instead of declared in your HTML ...I'd rather be asleep :(
  71. I lie awake thinking of CSS. Any div that could contain a phone # needs link-visited-hover-active styling as an iPhone makes phone # links.
  72. @timtyrrell Best wishes today.
  73. ...efficiently in the target deployment environment and will correctly solve the problems posed for the application
  74. the design has to specify a set of components that can be constructed with the programming tools in use on the project that will perform...
  75. pure analysis models get abandoned soon after coding starts, and most of the ground has to be covered again
  76. An analysis model is meant as a tool for understanding only; mixing in implementation concerns is thought to muddy the waters.
  77. text-transform: uppercase; ...for when you don't control the copy but you just need it to YELL!
  78. printf( __( '%1$s loves %2$s', 'twentyten' ), 'Jack', 'Jill' ); ...is an example of the printf command in PHP/WordPress
  79. 2 of 2 you have to style the links for the whole of the div to accommodate the h2 tag and then override the link styling for paragraphs etc.
  80. 1 of 2 I just learned a very painful lesson...you can't style the links for a div and then override the styling for h2 tag links in the div
  81. http://www.time.gov/
  82. To avoid confusion, everyone must be conscious of the distinction.
  83. Even though the explanatory model and the model that drives design do often correspond, the similarities will seldom be exact.
  84. @mekkalekkah thanks for saying something
  85. focus documents on COMPLEMENTING code and conversation
  86. ...model, and the ubiquitous language can be used to describe such a scenario in terms that directly connect to model-driven design.
  87. As the domain model comes to reflect the most relevant knowledge of the business, application requirements become scenarios within that...
  88. ...give some insight into the model's intended style of use.
  89. The greatest value of a design document is to explain the concepts of the model, help I'm navigating the detail of the code, and perhaps...
  90. In addition to saving labor, hand-drawn diagrams have the advantage of feeling casual and temporary...which is generally true of model ideas
  91. in CSS: !important at an id style will override a conflicting style at an inline style tag
  92. Once a document takes on a persistent form, it often loses it's connection with the flow of the ever evolving project.
  93. of PHP/WordPress: echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; returns the permalink route for a given "page"
  94. $permalink = get_permalink( $row->ID ); is what I was looking for...
  95. ...the way WordPress stores routes for pages. The WordPress schema is something from another time.
  96. I can tell I've really grown spoiled at @headspring in using schemas that just map 1-to-1 to objects. Presently, I'm trying to understand...
  97. part of the evolution of the model should be the reframing of the requirements in the refined ubiquitous language
  98. developers and domain experts can informally test the model by walking through scenarios using the model objects step-by-step
  99. when people of different language backgrounds come together for commerce if they dont have a common language they invent one called a pidgin
  100. I don't think I'm going to be able to figure out Thesis quickly.... :(
  101. FileZilla seems like a perfectly good FTP tool ...and it is free. It seems sad that I've had to use WS_FTP95 my whole career.
  102. let's see if I can figure out the Thesis theme for WordPress... http://diythemes.com/thesis/downloads/
  103. reading of is_front_page() to and is_home() for WordPress... I'm going to have to use something in this vein

  117. I just bought a tube of toothpaste at WalMart
  118. @shanselman I enjoyed your tangent on CSS sprites tonight!
  119. I'm too busy, haven't done laundry in weeks... I'm scraping the inside of an empty tube of tooth paste instead of buying a new tube
  120. in DDD confusion over terms should "bubble up" in discussion to the point of challenging the model and refining it when applicable
  121. Ubiquitous Language is enriched by 4. the names of patterns the team commonly applies to the domain model
  122. Ubiquitous Language is supplemented with 3. terms from high-level organizing principals imposed on the model (context maps and structures)
  123. Ubiquitous Language includes 2. terms to discuss rules that have been made explicit in the model
  124. Ubiquitous Language includes 1. the names of classes and prominent operations
  125. watching Scott Hanselman present on WebMatrix at the Austin .NET Users Group
  126. @TimGThomas good tip! Thanks!
  127. so much for getting up early :(
  128. Cindi Lauper could sing of iHOP: sheHOP, heHOP, and weHOP, iHOP, youHOP, and theyHOP... cheap thrills :P
  129. at iHOP... I wonder if I can be in bed and sleeping by 11 so that I may get up at 3 to do WordPress
  130. @ChrisMissal address seems pretty cool... does a cite tag function like a span tag? i.e. there is no noticeable effect until it is styled?
  131. ...it is now time for another little break. I'm spacing out and hungry. iHOP is calling I think... I'm done with the first pass at the CSS
  132. I was able to work ten hours with just a lunch break yesterday... but today I find I keep having to take little breaks...
  133. oh, I was talking about the opacity of partially opaque .png images... I guess my last tweet wasn't clear
  134. .png transparencies seem to behave differently in different browsers... grumble
  135. blockquote is pretty cool... I'm surprised I haven't used the tag before now
  136. notation for appending a policy or strategy http://yfrog.com/h2va4dpj
  137. ...and I am reluctant to do that as it might sabotage something else.
  138. I read at https://github.com/sorccu/cufon/wiki/styling that I have to change the doctype to get the line-height feature to work with Cufon.
  139. @cyhuckaba have you had any luck in pushing the line-height style to Cufon copy? It only seems to want to work in IE6 and IE7...
  140. how do I set the line-height style against Cufon text?
  141. and now for another ten hours of contract work
  142. @timtyrrell ...iron out specs, etc. separates the men from the boys, the juniors from the seniors
  143. @timtyrrell I have the impression (reinforced by an interview I couldn't close) that the ability to whiteboard objects with a client and...
  144. @timtyrrell what's broken in the DDD book? if not the DDD book, what's the most important text to read? working with legacy code by Fetters?
  145. @cyhuckaba congrats Cy
  146. I'm running out of steam. I'm going to do one more hour of work for Clutch Creative and then call it a day.
  147. @klabranche you're making me really paranoid
  148. ugh... running out of steam...
  149. @klabranche how did you know about "the caffeine" ???
  150. Wow, the line-height styling only effect cufon in IE6 and IE7 and not in "modern" browsers.
  151. @cyhuckaba ...work/behave with hovers for links :P
  152. @cyhuckaba thanks for the fontforge recommendation, I think I have to go with cufon as Clutch Creative has a canned means to get it to...
  153. https://github.com/sorccu/cufon/wiki/Usage seems pretty straightforward,but the straightforward implementation doesn't allow hovers in links
  154. @klabranche Whoa! Betrayed is a strong word! ;)
  155. trying to understand http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/

  158. my waitress at The Olive Garden recognized a painting of Vassily Kandinsky on the cover of Eric Evans' DDD book, I'd never heard of the guy
  159. @klabranche sorry to disappoint
  160. I keep seeing #333333 for copy color instead of just #000000 (black) ...a subtle difference, but one I've come to appreciate.

  178. @pedroreys I think it's cool that http://www.sinatrarb.com/ comes up first at Google in a search of Sinatra
  179. Developers have to steep themselves in the domain to build up knowledge of the business. They must hone their modeling skills and master DDD
  180. having Jiffy Lube fix my headlight between appointments... finally closed a deal! lined up some contract work, Wordpress for Clutch Creative
  181. I have a headlight out
  182. ending up having a really good day... feel better than I have in a really long time... feel up
  183. the model is 1 the heart of design, 2 the backbone of language, 3 distilled knowledge
  184. A model is a simplification-an interpretation of reality-abstracts the aspects relevant to solving problem @ hand ignoring extraneous detail
  185. Got Eric Evans' Domain Driven Design at Barnes & Knobles/I WILL read this book/If I only read 2or3 pages a day I can still be done in a year

  480. the line is now out the door so I guess there was some advantage to getting here when I did (I promise not to tweet,tweet,tweet about this)
  481. at DPS - I planned to get here early when they opened the doors, but I've arrived to find DPS already open and a substantial line already
  482. the voyeuristic "Tweets Nearby" feature has stopped refreshing in my install of TweetDeck :( what changed?
  483. should I be watching the Emmys right now instead of playing with .NET? I kinda think what I'm doing is more rewarding... hmmmm
  484. DateTime.UtcNow is cool - it looks like it is five hours ahead of "Texas Time" as it were
  485. ultimately, this allows the core to not be dependent on any other project... past all hurdles now
  486. OK, my UI is acting as my bootstrapper so it needs to have references to all of the other projects in order for StructureMap.config to work
  487. how is it cached?... oh well, I'm not going to worry about that now... fighting Error: 131 (type could not be found while creating a plugin)
  488. funny: even when I delete the StructureMap.config file back out of the bin folder the 202 error (No Default Instance) is beat
  489. let's see, slogging my way through a StructureMap wire up again, beat exception code 202 by copying StructureMap.config to the bin folder
  490. who's watching me? http://yfrog.com/2tu9glj
  491. It's interesting how very different the gradient tools are in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. I prefer the Photoshop system myself.
  492. @ilikesoup it's NOT intuitive
  493. @ilikesoup one of the colors and drag it out to open space and "let go" ...this should pull the color out of the gradient
  494. @ilikesoup the setting off of a different shape... if you want to have less colors in the gradient itself, open the gradient panel, click on
  495. @ilikesoup oh, if you just want to remove a gradient from a shape in Illustrator, with the shape selected use the eyedropper tool to sample
  496. @ilikesoup the touch of grey??? that color??? There is no way to remove it. It is always there. :(
  497. @ilikesoup Hi! ...the color of what??? :P
  498. I'm going to a Meetup with The Austin Internet Marketing Meetup - SEO/SEM/SMO/PPC! http://meetup.com/u/1bX3

  510. @timtyrrell touche' (I had already paid for parking at 700 East 7th this morning when my eye caught the Wendy's)
  511. trying to shake off a loopy feeling... I'm going to blame the Wendy's breakfast... nose to the grindstone Tom, snap, snap
  512. done
  513. I'm one of four people waiting for the doors to open, they are vacuuming the entranceway for us now which is important
  514. Wendy's egg and sausage burritos are OK
  515. It is
  516. I wonder if that Wendy's is open...
  517. waiting for 700 East 7th to open its doors so I may take care of the ticket I got for driving through a blinking red light
  518. think I was inadvertently rude to the electrician who came to Headspring today :( hindsight is 20/20

  526. @pedroreys and @ajepst ...so now I actually feel celebratory... lived to be 36 and had an epiphany on this day in particular
  527. @pedroreys and @ajepst ...I didn't mention the significance of the day earlier as I didn't care earlier... then my day got better and better
  528. I didn't care about my birthday when it started, but the day has been getting better and better :P ...it must be my day after all
  529. today, 1600 years ago: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sack_of_Rome_(410)
  530. @timtyrrell yeah, perhaps not :(
  531. @timtyrrell I was the mayor here once... good point
  532. Olive Garden again
  533. walking/waking
  534. I know that is just my position-of-the-moment. I've become an undisciplined hypocrite about these matters, bouncing back and forth. Whatever
  535. caving again, and eating at Olive Garden-I really feel spacey. I'm feeling like it might be better to feel good than to have money right now
  536. out now - a guy in the class got the same unpleasant surprise I got in the Spring (you have to have Trig first)
  537. Dow Jones down again. I want to scream. I wish one of the political parties had a plan for selling some houses. :(
  538. @ehexter Congratulations!
  539. @ultragrrrl You're really pretty Ms. Lewitinn. It's kinda hard not to gawk at your Avatar pic. Sigh. Forgive my aggressive honesty.
