I have been looking for a good list of websites that are Blackberry friendly. I have a Pearl 8100 and enjoy it. A good site that I have found was http://mobile.blackberry.net/. But, do check out this site:

Okay, here it is. For the first time since the Avalanche have been in Colorado, we did not make the playoffs. I am writing this a month after we lost the final playoff spot to the Calgary Flames. It took me a whole month to actually calm down and realize that everything is going to be okay.
Joe Sakic, everyone thought was going to “be considered” over the hill. Not a chance. Way to go Super Joe. He was there everytime we needed him. In that last stretch I didn’t think any could stop Sakic, Stastny or Hedjuk. The unstoppable force. With the play of Peter Budaj and our younger stars stepping up, I can only be positive for next season. It cannot come soon enough.
Okay, so after digging around for solutions to get Ubuntu running just a little faster, I found one that makes my applications run at amazing speeds. I didn’t think it would actually work as well as it did.
sudo mousepad /etc/hosts
Change the line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
To:
127.0.0.1 localhost yourhostname
Well, since Kurt Vonnegut passed away, I thought I could make everyone laugh just a little bit. (Everyone as in “Who reads this Blog”).
- All this happened, more or less. The war parts, anyway, are pretty much true.
- Be careful what you pretend to be because you are what you pretend to be.
- Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.
- I really wonder what gives us the right to wreck this poor planet of ours.
- If you can do a half-assed job of anything, you’re a one-eyed man in a kingdom of the blind.
- People have to talk about something just to keep their voice boxes in working order so they’ll have good voice boxes in case there’s ever anything really meaningful to say.
- Ideas or the lack of them can cause disease.
- Why are so many Americans treated by their government as though their lives were as disposable as paper facial tissue? Because that was the way authors customarily treated bit-part players in their made-up tales.
- Beer, of course, is actually a depressant. But poor people will never stop hoping otherwise.
With alot of the technical classes that I have taken in the past, I use Adobe Photoshop. (I think during those times we where on version 4 or 5). Well, I had a chance to use Adobe Photoshop CS 2. Not half bad. I was impressed with the ideas that those Adobe folks can come up with. Well, on the other hand I develop all of my site using linux. GIMP 2.2 what I have been using to make those simple images on my sites look nice and fit. The GIMP’s features are right up there with Adobe. When you look at the price. You just cannot be free. Thanks GIMP. Thanks for making my life easier. (I could go into more detail on the differences, but…I don’t want to).
Where do I start. I have actually pulled out hair over this issue. I have been designing my sites using; Bluefish Web Dev, IglooFTP and viewing in Swiftfox (Firefox 2.0.0.3). Now, after initial creation of the site, everything looked just fine. All of my divs,etc were in the right place. Now after the first version of the site, I wanted to do some maintaince and refine a little. Well, I made all of the revisions. Then I ran into a problem. Internet Explorer 6/7 decided it would be a great idea to not display certain boxes (divs) in the correct locations.
So after exploring my options, I found a nice solution. It does not make your CSS2 Validate. But, it does the trick. Let’s say you have a div that the width exceeded what it should of in IE.
CSS2 Compliant.
.mydiv { width: 20px }
IE FIX.
* html .mydiv { width: 15.5px }
Worked great for a number of IE related problems. Width, Font Sizes, Etc.
