Apparently when you’re rich you can make thousands of people wear stupid looking badges…
I just received the entry badges for the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholder Meeting and man, they are ugly! See for yourself:

MS Paint + Notepad
I mentioned in my last post that I’d designed a basic website using nothing but MS Paint and Notepad. To expand upon that, the site is PHP driven, the only reason for that is I wanted to make the entire thing modular, as such the site is broken down into the following files:
- header.php
- menu.php
- page.php
- footer.php
Where page.php is actually index.php, photos.php, etc. depending on the page you’re accessing and it includes the call functions for header.php, menu.php, and footer.php (in that order). That way if I want to add a link to the menu I can just edit menu.php and have the entire site update automatically.
The site currently uses 14 CSS classes, the main reasons it takes so many is the menu formatting and the additional classes for skinning the RSS feed from FeedBurner. If I end up using the template for longer than a few weeks I may try and cut down on the style sheet size just a bit.
Oh, and the site is actually written in 100% valid XHTML!

Apple Mail-In Repair [ Update ]
I’ve called Apple a few times since last Friday (4/4/08) and finally got a hold of someone who had a clue… Apparently they received the part needed on Tuesday, installed it on today, and will hopefully ship it out to me tomorrow… Yay!
Using Photoshop on an Eee PC has been killing me. I actually designed a website in MS Paint and Notepad yesterday, it was epic. It actually only uses two image files, the rest is CSS… So don’t expect anything amazing, it’s just a really basic landing page right now.

iPhone SDK Beta 3
Apple just released the third beta for the iPhone SDK, the only notable difference right off the bat is the file size, the SDK is now only 1.4 GB instead of the original 2.1 GB.
I don’t have anything of a more technical nature to offer since Apple still has my MacBook Pro and I can’t actually run the SDK right now.
You can download the latest version here.

PineCone Research
Normally you have to be invited to join PineCone Research, and that can take some time. But for a limited time you can just follow the link below and skip all that.
For those of you who’ve never heard of PineCone Research and are wondering what they do exactly, they pay people like you and me to fill out short product surveys and don’t actually conduct research relating to pinecones.
Each survey pays about $3, so not a whole lot, but enough to aid in hiding your obsessive spending on hot wings from your signicant other.
