On a more serious note, when I get the new plastics for my bike I'll probally bring it down for a good detail before I put them on. I just don't feel like doing it.

lol, my car first!

GOOD! I guess that means I probably shouldn't do it anymore lol. I usually don't though. iPhone = almost impossible to text while driving.

Oakes 01-26-2010 05:59 PM

Bout time.

Ken's car is definitely first lol

Guess I'll have to watch for more cops now. Does that mean they can't type on their laptops when they're driving anymore? That's technically text...and still dangerous.


Blahhhh 3 hour history class starts in an hour and a half. Plenty of time to gouge (sp?) my eyes out, right?

240sxDann 01-26-2010 06:02 PM

I would think so. That usually takes about 10 seconds with the right equipment. (i.e. a spoon)

DPancoast 01-26-2010 06:02 PM

lol cops type on their laptops because it's their job and thats how they look up info silly...

also plenty of time to eat food and get some starbucks

LOL

omgomgomg

obama has ANOTHER plan to tackle the deficit

cant wait to hear that one

EDIT

turns out its only for commercial vehicle (over 10k lbs) drivers.. BUT PA is getting closer and closer to no talking/texting on your phone while driving.

www.oakesdetail.com

It forces me to widen my browser window which is a major no no for me (but nobody else ever agrees with me). Also the darkening text when the car is changing traumatized me. Interesting that you used drupal. You definitely hid it's drupalness... Otherwise it's pretty. And is that a price hike I smell? ;)

Actually, they added an exception into the law for police and emergency personnel.

total main width is about 1065px. which is only 65px more than the max i feel comfortable going for the content area of most sites. but to be fair, you really only need less than 600px of that for the content and nav.

what darkening text? what browser, and version, are you using? no text should be darkening, and if it is i need to take care of it.

i'm a huge drupal fan. i'm still exploring the more "correct" ways to use it and all of its features. i'm delving into building my own modules and pulling from the database the info i need. not being a DBA and not being familiar with drupal's DB structure its been trying, at first. i made a lot of use of mysql admin programs on my computer.

i really want to stretch the boundaries of my knowledge and skills... i was able to do that a bit with the two sites and i'm hoping to get more challenging work.

i'd love to work on a store site as well... and am considering finding a supplier company that does drop shipment so i can build my own.

personally... i like django much better than these open source CMS'... but it doesn't make sense to reinvent the wheel. instead of two full days of work to get nick's site up, it would have taken me a week or more.

thanks for the compliments :) i realize nick's site isn't... flashy... but there is elegance in simplicity. there has been a lot... i repeat... a lot of consideration taken in the design.
