A Taste of Coding Setting Up This Site

Never been a coder.  Worked with many over the years, but never really had my head inside any code.  OK so HTML and CSS is not really code, but a lot of the same strict coding principles apply:

  • I can work odd times
  • 2 lines of good code a day – is a good day
  • I can get mad at the person who wrote the code I’m fixing – not my fault man
  • Oh so that’s why they did it that way – was my fault man (all the while apologizing to the person who wrote the code I’m fixing)
  • Coffee really helps – except when it doesn’t
  • If working on one computer is good, working on five is even better – unless two of them are your wife’s
  • This problem cannot be fixed, that’s just the way it is – until you find you can fix it
  • Every problem you have, someone has had before you – and documented it ad nauseum in some forum somewhere
  • Just when you think you are pretty smart you find that the ad nauseum part is the most helpful
  • Must be universal to spouses – “All that time spent and it looks the same as it did yesterday.”
