Saturday!

I think they must have tested the new update interface using Mozilla. It's strange...but not unlikeable.

Jim's fever has turned into a full-blown UTI - pissing blood and everything (TMI...) and required a call to his doctor on the infamous after-hours line.

I had a callback in five minutes. And no, I did not deem it an emergency - I still got the call back that fast.

I. Love. My. Doctors.

A script for Cipro was written, we went out and picked it up, had lunch - and that was all the gas Jim had in his tank.

He's running a low-grade fever, I'm putting glasses of fluids in front of him - making him take nasty, awful, no-good, evil cranberry capsules (get over it Jim) - and he is tormenting me with really good stand-up comedy for anime geeks from his sickbed. (Imagine a Elvis impersonator as a Pokemon trainer - complete with a Salamence named Priscilla that trains using PBJs. Uh-huh-huh.) He's getting even with me for being such a nasty nurse. He's telling me Dragonball Z pastiches as well.

Unpacking boxes and finding treasures - still, a year later. The box by the door for Trick or Treat is almost full, and I'll begin another one tonight I'm certain.

Such excitement. If Jim goes to work by Wednesday, I'll be amazed.

It might be time to call the doctor again. This sort of thing can come from a dangerous level of fever. ;)

Does Jim have kidney stones?

I think you're right about Mozilla - I know the creators/programmers here are very anti-IE, and would recommend anything over it. Do you use Mozilla?

I haven't tried it in Netscape 7.1, maybe it looks better there. I'm using the update page, but I don't care for it. It's too wide.

Cipro makes me *really* loopy. I've had to take it for kidney infections.

Please give Jim our best, and our wishes that he feel back to his usual self very soon indeed.

I am having no pain right now, but I have had kidney stones before. I really hope I don't ever have any more. They really hurt... ^^

Ah, well, you must be Jim. I hope you feel better.

I hope he feels better soon.

Thanks.

But that kind of fever is the most fun!

Sorry I have been a stranger...

I hope Jim's health improves soon.
I'm a whining baby when I get sick...
Hell, I'm a whining baby most of the time,
divorce and too much stress do that to a
body. Again...I hope things get better
real soon.

I think you're talking about the main journal update interface on this site? I use Mozilla and it looks nice to me. I don't know about ie, but in Mozilla the text box resizes to fit the page, so unless you just think it should be a smaller percentage of the page width, I don't really see how it could be too wide unless ie is not sizing it correctly.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the people working on the site used Mozilla, but I'm pretty sure they'd at least have tried to make it work in ie too. If there really is a problem in your specific version of ie, you might want to e-mail them about it, or just upgrade or switch to a better browser (Mozilla/Firefox/Opera/etc...I think Firefox is the best right now for most users). ;)

Mozilla make it allll better. *nods firmly*

I'm happy with IE 6, thanks. Have a look at it using IE some time, if you're ever around a PC that has it. You'll see what I mean, but I am getting used to it - I just use the 'preview' option to view and then edit if needed. It's a hassle, and I'm not crazy about it, but I deal.
