Pixel Perfect UI

Ok, so I’ve spent countless hours tweaking CSS, refreshing the browser, taking a screenshot, opening the screenshot in photoshop, copying and pasting that screenshot onto a master design PSD file, and setting the opacity to 50%, then repositioning the overlay…..iterate and repeat for hours….

Ok, my day just got much shorter and less redundant….

A firefox/firebug plugin does ALL that for you….WHOOOOOOT!

Thank you to the folks at Open House up in Canada…I definitely bought you a beer for this one!

 

Tree trimming

Today I trimmed my 50 year old carob tree. It’s got some fungus that I can’t remember. Last year I had a tree surgeon come out and work on it. He gave me the low down and trimmed the dead parts off. After seeing what I did I realized that I could do the same thing. All he was doing was removing the dead branches at the split. Easy enough, eh? Well, it’s hard to do without a chainsaw 😉 I had to settle for a sawsall with a 6″ blade. I managed to get most of it, but one big branch. Also, I was limited to a 12″ ladder that I borrowed from a neighbor.

Also, I’ve pretty much given up on uniquelemming for now. I’ve broken the login feature some how 🙁 and can’t log in. *sigh*

I wasn’t really using it anyway. Ah well. Maybe when I have a fit of needing to get something accomplished, I’ll rebuild it…again…or wait for the next version of Drupal to come out.
