Barkley has been discovering that it’s a lot of fun at the dog park, especially when there are other dogs to play tug with and go chasing after (or be chased by)
Random thought: The Universe movie
A movie of the evolution of the universe (assuming an age of ~14×109 years), if condensed down to a time scale of 1 year = 1 second, would run for 443.9 years.
Better make some extra popcorn.
Pumpkins
Some of the pumpkins from today’s pumpkin carving contest at work.
See the rest of the pumpkins here.
Where have all the pumpkins gone?
Today pumpkins entered in the cafeteria’s pumpkin carving contest will be showing up on tables just outside the cafeteria. Each year there are some pretty creative pumpkins, but also fewer of them. Since I started taking pictures of the pumpkins back in 2003, the number of pumpkins each year has gone down quite a bit for some reason.
This year there are only three tables set up for pumpkins, so I suspect the trend will continue. I’ll find out in a few hours how many of them there are this time.
Update: 13 pumpkins this year. Forgot to bring my card reader with me so pictures will have to wait until later this evening.
Why oh Why IE7
Why does IE7 do this
when all the other browsers do this
Firefox Gran Paradiso (20081027 nightly)
Firefox 3.0.2 (Linux)
Opera 9.61 (Linux)
Google Chrome 0.2.149.30
This turns out to be a problem with IE that goes all the way back to IE6 and apparently doesn’t seem to have been corrected with IE7. Just Google “css z-index ie” and you’ll find a bunch of stuff on it. I’m already using a z-index: 1; CSS property to get the menu to display on top of everything else. Still no joy with IE.
Blargh.
