Date Fixed

January 12th, 2009 1:47am Portfolioso No comments

Yeah no one cares, but I fixed my date format on the posts for the main page on my site. Before today, it was shown as “2009-01-11 14:37:49″ which is pretty gross. That’s because that’s how it’s stored in the database when I make posts and I just dump it from there to the main page without formatting. I was too lazy to throw some php together to format it properly. But now it’s all set so we can see in plain English when exactly I saw my posts. Wooo. This is what I do instead of useful things. But classes are tomorrow so see ya later.

Edit – So I had a bug where only the first digit of the date was printing. January 10th, or 11th would show up as January 1. That’s all fixed now.

And Boom, There Goes Winter Break

January 10th, 2009 10:21pm Portfolioso No comments

Winter break flew by really quickly. So on my last night home, what am I doing? Enjoying my last night of quality entertainment of FiOS TV on demand and neutral internet before I go back behind China’s Firewall. (if you don’t get my reference, China restricts internet access, so I was making an analogy to my school’s internet vs my neutral FiOS). Also, not that I watch TV at school, but I’m pretty damn spoiled. I go from pure, uncompressed digital with everything on demand to a whopping 40 fuzzy analog channels. Other than that, my break was pretty chill and decent. It was good to come home and get a change of scenery. On the other hand, it’s also good to get back into a routine so I don’t feel like a bum. So that shall be all. I came home in snow and I leave in snow. Woo. Except we never get a lot and I’m greedy. One other thing: I am writing a lot recently. I’m telling you – it’s the new admin interface. beautiful. When you have a good system, you want to use it more. Now lets hope I only write useful, interesting things from now on and not bore out the 3 people who actually read this.

New Google Favicon

January 9th, 2009 3:34pm Portfolioso No comments

So Google changed their favicon again (the little icon you see by the URL in your browser, and if you don’t see it, stop using Internet Explorer 6). This is something I found interesting because their first one was a skinny blue upper case G which was decent. Last year it was changed to a lowercase purple g. This was supposed to be more modern, but got a lot of complaints for not using Google’s colors. So as of this morning when I woke up (and by morning I mean late afternoon) it has been changed yet again. Now it looks like a complete rainbow and is rather odd. At least it uses Google’s colors, but it’ll take some getting used to. Oh it’s the little things on the internet I point out. Have a look-sy (or just go to google):
