Happy Birthday Ian :)

Vera: The skip to content link is an accessibility thing. The dark bar is there to correspond with the footer. I like it, and I don’t know why. Oh, and it’s a pink elephant’s butt. ;) Can’t find where I say “we offer” ..blabla? As far as I am aware this website is all “I”s… read full entry »

I worked harder this morning than I’ve ever worked in my entire “college career”. I had to finish my database assignment which was due in today.
