No, I'm not talking about a sales rep that wanted to sell me a Dell computer. I'm talking about this idiot who left a comment on my site yesterday that I deleted.

(This is not an "I hate Dell" post, either.)

Seriously, this guy was clueless.

UPDATE: at 3:20pm, the Netflix site was back up. And I get the movies I wanted

two columns, that is.

I tried really hard to get the rounded corners in the three-column theme to work, but Internet Explorer 6 couldn't handle it.

Imagine that.

So I went with this two-column, extra-large theme.

I've got a few bugs left to work out (and a few in IE, but it's still better then it was.) Still need to work on some of the typography stuff, but I'll come together.

And one last time today: I hate Internet Explorer.

With my website theme problems and my headache, I'll take this Sunday off.

July 7th is upon us, and I've got my new theme up.

Mostly.

It still needs some work (like a few sections of the sidebars and some h2 color issues) but I'm pretty much happy with it. I'm not happy with WordPress, though. On the single.php post page, I had the post's date and time in the sidebar, but those only work in The Loop (what I have in the top section.)

Surely there should be a way of calling the date and time outside of the loop.

Caveat
Kids! Bringing about Armageddon can be dangerous. Do not attempt it in your own home.

So begins Good Omens, which has to be one of the funniest books about the end of the world. And it all happens because a nun misplaced the Antichrist.

Not only is the Antichrist misplaced, but the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley work to stop Armageddon because they rather like Earth.

so where the hell did June go?

Anyway, my plans for MisguidedThoughts.com in July are as follows:

By July 7th, have the new theme for the site live. (It's a dark theme similar to one I had before, but without the funky javascript.)

The first half of this month I'll be writing up 'recommendations.' Basically, I'll write about books, movies, music, and tv shows that I like. It'll be an eclectic look at who I am.

I'll decide what to do during the second half of the month shortly before it gets here.

With Google, you can do most anything computer related. You can get your email and write love poems; you can search the web, you can search your computer. You can look at your house, find a bar in the seedy part of town, and compose spreadsheets, all at the same time. You can build web pages (although I think their blogging mechanism sucks.) There's really not a lot of computer activities you can't do with Google.

So if Google ever decides to build a robot, my money is on the robot taking over the world.

Now this is just über-cool. Maybe one day America will fund its space program so we could get out there. (Or at least send little Beagles and such.) (But at the rate things are going now, China will probably get there first.)

Anyway, from the BBC:

Astronomers have found the most Earth-like planet outside our Solar System to date, a world which could have water running on its surface.

The planet orbits the faint star Gliese 581, which is 20.5 light-years away in the constellation Libra

Have you seen the logo for the 2012 Olympics that will be held in London? It's supposed to look like 2012. It took me a bit to see that. But what it really looks like is two guys having sex. That's right, the Olympics have gone to the perverts.
