I'm trying to decide which font to use. Is Arial @ 11px too small?

sábado, noviembre 18, 2000

I spent too much time downloading fonts from flaimo.com. Back to the football game.
Geez, you can really screw things up when you forget to close the quotation marks on a title tag. *slaps myself* And I noticed that the Blog This! feature posts much faster than going through the Blogger page.

I can't wait to get X-Men on dvd.

With all this election mumble jumble, I knew this one was coming sooner or later. You can now re-vote in the Florida Presidential election. You don't even have to live in Florida! LOL
I only worked out one day so far this week, being sick sucks ass. I hope to do some tae-bo tomorrow.
Other than that, tomorrow is the big Michigan vs. Ohio State game. Go Michigan!
I'm going to be lonely at work. It's a holiday at Ford but since I'm just collocated there, I don't get it off. :-(

Oh please, get a grip: some are saying that Hooters "It's soft-core porn". People still have that type of mentality in the year 2000. I am SO glad that I moved out of that place.

Well.. Thank you Betcha! :-)
I just noticed that Netscape 6 uses about 25 megs of memory while running. Holy cow! They should include free memory with every download of NS6 ;-)
Blogger it's acting too slow today.
It's waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too cold out there, I will stay sick if it keeps up.

martes, noviembre 14, 2000

Well, I gave up and downloaded Netscape 6. After many download attempts (and I have cable modem), I finally found their full download on their ftp site. My impressions so far:

- A little slow when switching windows and selecting items. No crashes so far though
- It now recognizes the title tag on the links.. yay!
- My page looks good on NS6. The only thing I didn't like was that the checkbox doesn't show up if your background is white. No border around it whatsoever (maybe because I have it set to border-style=none?)
- Can't post from Blogger since the posting area is completely taken over by one of the frames, and I couldn't download the bookmarklet thing from the settings. I copied it from IE.
- Renders pretty much the CSS correctly.

But kids, remember that you may need to update your dhtml and cgi scripts. More information can be found here
I love to read the "Where are they now: Teen Idols" type of articles. Yes, I know it sounds pathetic.
Sooner or later it was going to happen, stamps prices will go up a penny on 2001. Still, I don't think 34¢ is too much for a stamp.

If you have any questions about wtf happened on Florida, read this article. Is one of the best pieces I've seen so far. I specially like #4.

I'm feeling weird today. I have something in between a cold and the flu and I don't like it a bit. I've been laying on the couch watching Mission to Mars on dvd. As always I didn't want to watch the movie but ended up liking it. I've come to the conclusion that no matter if the movie is good or if it sucks, I will always like it as long as it has to do something with space exploration, medieval times or dark religious stuff.
Look... cute baby on sight.

sábado, noviembre 11, 2000

Feeling much better, but watching how pathetic is Penn State playing against Michigan two miles from here. The first half is not even done and PSU missed three out of four field goals.
I hate getting sick.

viernes, noviembre 10, 2000

Hummm.. if I had time I would post mine but gotta run. But I have my college in the meantime. :P

miércoles, noviembre 08, 2000

I was going to bitch about the recount in Florida but instead I'll link to derek's post. He took the words out of my mouth.
Too close still?? omg.. this is insane. People at work are going to be hitting reload to their browsers all day long.
This is too close!! I can't sleep dammit! How can they lose some of the ballots in Florida in a night like this? I'm afraid that Bush is going to win, then we are doomed!!!! As a result I will be moving with Shannon to Canada.

martes, noviembre 07, 2000

It looks like Gore is going to win Michigan. But darn this is too close to call... Did you know that people on Oregon mail in their ballots?
Well, FINALLY the the day is here. So get out and vote, if you don't then don't complain on how the administration handles things. I have to work tomorrow (lousy !@#$%^) but the people at Ford don't, so it should be an easy day.

Warner Bros. online reports Britney, 18, who did a startling striptease act for the MTV Music Video Awards in September, had her nipples pierced in April while shooting a video in Hawaii.
All I have to say is.. ouch!

domingo, noviembre 05, 2000

Today I watched tv pretty much all day long. I watched American Beauty, End of Days, the Growing Pains reunion, The Simpsons, Sex and the City and some part of Star Trek Voyager. I really liked End of Days, I wasn't expecting that ending.
Monopoly dot com Edition.. too cool, I want one.
I guess yesterday was a bad day for football. Michigan, Michigan State and Penn State lost. And I didn't watch any of the games.

sábado, noviembre 04, 2000

hmmmm, carne asada.. I'm going to make my mom cook carne asada when I go visit PR in December. Gosh I'm drooling just thinking of it (that and pernil, lechon, alcapurrias, bacalaitos.. you Americans are missing something good on your diet :P )
Since all my bills are paid and I didn't have to buy new tires, I went shopping. I got 2 skirts, 3 turtlenecks, one pair of pants and a pair of boots for ~ $90.00 Not bad at all!
The US Post Office should have a mailbox right outside my apartments (with all the bills I mail every month.. uff) but noooo, I have to go all the way to K-Mart to mail them. Sucks!

viernes, noviembre 03, 2000

I thought people learned from their mistakes (well, most of them). But it seems that Bush didn't want anyone to know that he made one. oops!

jueves, noviembre 02, 2000

Britney Spears will host the American Music Awards live from Los Angeles's Shrine Auditorium on January 8
I bet some guys are wondering what she will (not) be wearing.
Jish, eggs and ketchup sounds as bad as apple pie and ketchup. Yeap, I have a friend that eats that everytime she goes to BK

miércoles, noviembre 01, 2000

Just what I need, another application running on my taskbar. But this one is cool: it tells you the temperature for your city on real time plus forecast information, warnings and stuff. (link stolen from matt)
I made another wallpaper: Hello Kitty.

martes, octubre 31, 2000

Now I have tons of Hershey's Kisses left over since all the kids decided to go trick or treating before I got back from work. Must-resist-temptation!
Why don't we play the game "Lets guess how long it will take Xaymara to get to work today?" I hear on the radio that there is a 4 mile backup on I-94. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Ya quisiera yo dibujar como Beto. Nice redesign btw!

domingo, octubre 29, 2000

Want to create more colors just by dithering two or three browser safe colors? Go to Colormix and try using their free mixer.
Remember kids to set your clocks back one hour, or you will be late for school/work/church!
I'm switching servers, so islabonita.net will be pointing to two different ip addresses. I'm moving from Xeran to Below 10 host. Ever since I got my cable modem, ftp'ing to Xeran was very slooooooooooooooooooooooow. Plus I'll save ten bucks this way. Any broken links will be fixed soon (I hope).

sábado, octubre 28, 2000

Happy Birthday Candi! Now you can rent a car without paying extra for being under 25.
Winamp 2.666 is out. That is some freaky version number.

viernes, octubre 27, 2000

I bet that whoever bid for this PS2 is having a laugh right now.
My man and Jen have new layouts. oooh redesign is on the air.
Who does AOL's research... dogs? I didn't know that people got confused by having a Home icon on the bar.

jueves, octubre 26, 2000

Want to get the PS2 badly? Go to ebay. One of them sold for $1525! Jesus Christ! I guess some people don't want to wait until Spring to get theirs. Being poor sucks!
Did anyone get the PS2? Here in the news, they were at Meijer and they only had 20 of them, all taken since people were in line since 10am!! They don't expect another shipment until mid-December. Holy macaroni!!!!! My boyfriend's brother reserved his months ago (back in May and think) and EB called him to tell him that if he didn't pay in full right there over the phone (this was a month ago), he would have to wait until December to get his. THAT IS INSANE!!!! I think Sony did this in purpose.
Latest jingle stuck in my head: My Chalupa from those Taco Bell ads.

Just what I need, two accidents on I-94 east. Is going to take me forever to get to work! I love this page.

"We want our teachers to be trained so they can meet the obligations, their obligations as teachers. We want them to know how to teach the science of reading. In order to make sure there's not this kind of federal cufflink." - George W. Bush, Fritsche Middle School, Milwaukee, March 30, 2000

"Will the highways on the Internet become more few?" - George W. Bush, Concord, N.H., Jan. 29, 2000

Get all your favorite Bushisms here. The more I read these quotes, the more I know that I'm not voting for this guy. I think I'm voting for Nader even though he will lose, but at least I won't waste my vote on Bush.

For most of my searches, I would just type go 'keyword' on the IE address bar and a search window would open on the left side of my browser with all the results. That way I could keep looking at the results and see some of them to the right. But somehow now it just opens all on one window. wtf?? I liked it better the other way. When did they changed this?
Hey katie, at work they charge for coffee. OTOH, I get free bottled water.
Oh no!!!!!!! The Rock lost the WWF Championship to.. to.. Kurt Angle. ugh! I can't stand "Mr. Three I's". Now I will have to put up with his (and Stephanie's) cockiness (sp?) for weeks to come.

Thanks to a link that someone posted over Dan's blog, now I'm addicted to this game. I wonder if I can play this from work.. hmmmm.
Did some house cleaning: bye bye archives from 6 months ago.
Did you know that the Playboy site runs on a Solaris running Netscape-Enterprise 3.6? Find what other domains are using right here

Is it too late to do tae-bo??? bah, I think I'll do it anyways.
Playing around with php again, so now you can post your comments right from the blog. Neat! I got it from here, and if I could just figure out how can I add a separator (like --) between the email and the comments I would be a happy camper.
My fortune according to hummer:
in the middle of incredible sex, an aeroplane will fall from the sky and crash after sex!

Note to self: no sex this weekend
Everyone is on a redesign mood! Eden made a layout for Shannon. It's gorgeous.. I'm so freaking jealous.
lisette has a spanky new layout. Loooove the orange darling!

Speaking of the plane tickets, we bought them tonight. In two months I will be escaping from the freezing cold Michigan weather to the warm (hot, comparing to how cold is going to get up here) Puerto Rican weather. Plus no work for two weeks (can't beat that!).

viernes, octubre 20, 2000

I might be going home for Christmas after all! *does happy dance* If we can get the price for the tickets this afternoon.. we are set. $500 plus taxes, from Lansing, MI (75 miles from here) to Cleveland then to San Juan, almost 2 weeks. Not bad, I wish it was cheaper though.

I got off my butt today and did Tae-bo. I need to jump back on the wagon so I can look decent for next summer.. :P
After six seasons, Xena: Warrior Princess has been cancelled, due to low ratings.. Even though I haven't watched the show in a while, it's too bad Xena is getting cancelled. It was one of the few good shows that I could watch over the weekend (you can only watch so many sports each week you know?).
I'm so proud of myself. I've been sitting at the puter for 2 hours tonight. That's a record for me! I watched some tv for a change (Dark Angel and Son of the Beach were on).

I tried to watch the presidential debate but I just can't get into it. I only caught one part of it, when they were talking about affirmative action, and noticed how Gore just kept asking Bush all these questions and then the moderator caught him off in the middle of a sentence and said "Lets move on". That was great!

I don't understand Netscape. The newer the version the worse it gets? At work I have Netscape 4.7 (Win) and the page looks fine (2 lines instead of three but I can deal with that)... but at home, with version 4.75, the lines don't repeat (I have them as cell backgound with limited width on the cell, they should repeat). ?!?!?!?!?!? If I can figure this out then I will call myself the "Netscape master".. heh
All these new chips are making my AMD K6-2 500Mhz look like a turtle.
woohoo! I learned how to parse files using SSI, so now it will be so much easier to change all the pages! *does the happy dance*

lunes, octubre 16, 2000

I miss that feeling, damn work gets on my way. *sigh*
I don't feel like changing the other pages, so I guess I'll do it sometime this week.
ok.. it looks so bad on Netscrape 4.75 (Win) but I tried everything and can't get that line to show up all the way on the table. I give up! Any ideas why is doing that please let me know
why that BlogScript tag keeps showing up on my page? $&*)($&#)&$*#)$)(#
testing... 123
I'm working on a new layout for the domain. So far it looks like this. If you see any bugs please let me know.

I get all these emails on how they still have seats available for the WWF Raw show at the Joe this coming Monday, but when I go to the Ticketmaster site tells me there are no seats available. Bastards!
I didn't see this item on the Hello Kitty section at Target
<stolen=link>jo</stolen>
I am so freaking bored. I should clean around the house (since it's a mess, clothes and computer stuff everywhere), but that's no fun. I wish I knew more people around here.

I started on a new project at work today. I will get to work with suppliers that make all those nifty car/truck accessories.

domingo, octubre 08, 2000

Where did my weekend go?  I went out on Friday night with Eitel and some of his friends from work. First we went to this place in Ann Arbor that they brew their own beer (can't remember the name, it's by Mongolian BBQ).  Then we drove to Ypsilanti and stopped at Sticks (I think that's the name) and played some pool (not me, I suck at it so bad) and had some drinks.  I had too many Long Islands and I was very buzzed by the time we got home (around 2am).  Then on Saturday we watch some football with some friends and played some Monster Madness.)

For the first time in a loooooooooooong time I barely sat on the puter, only to check email.
I got a haircut today. Like it?

sábado, octubre 07, 2000

This is what I get for saying the word "porn" once on a post, another weird Goggle search.

The people at AT&T@Home are idiots. It seems that they are having lots of problems at State College and their answer? "We didn't expected that many people to sign up". HELLO?!? You bring cable modem service to a college town and don't expect people to sign up? You morons. They also blame the heavy usage of Napster for the downtime. Yeah right Sherlock.

And what they recommend the students to do while this gets fixed? "AT&T @Home is urging their customers to be patient and advising them to refrain from using the Internet in peak hours until the dilemma is cleared up." Hey, I pay for the darn service I should be able to use it whenever the hell I want.

Sorry for the rant, but things like this piss the hell out of me.
Hey, if it worked for Jish then it might work for me also:
YOU haven't signed my guestbook.

bwaahahahahahahahaha
I can't wait for the new (and final) season of ST: Voyager to start tonight. Any episode that involves the Borg is a good episode.

martes, octubre 03, 2000

Some people are just sick.
After four years, I got contacts again. Now they are disposable lenses(Acuvue2). People say that I look very different.
If you want to get more hits, make sure you get mentioned on six.nu.  I don't think I've ever had this many hits from just one site ;D

lunes, octubre 02, 2000

I "only" use Napster to find those 80's Spanish songs that I can't find on cds.  I guess I still have more time to do it >:)
Another boring afternoon, another wallpaper made.  It reminds me that winter is coming, whether I like it or not. brrrrrrr

domingo, octubre 01, 2000

six.nu is the cutest domain I've seen.  Can you believe Felicia is only 15?  Nice job Felicia!
I also have two entries on bloghop. I added one yesterday but I guess it's reading the other one from the blogger directory.
