Towel Day
Wednesday, May 25th, 2005Don’t forget, it is Towel Day today.

What really put a big grin on my face was the following browser stat though:

I nearly lost half my redesign of onlinetools.org, the half finished translation of the unobtrusive JavaScript course and lots of job-related experiments and tryouts when I was clumsy enough to spill a whole cup of coffee onto my company’s Thinkpad T40.
One hour of the opened laptop in front of a huge fan helped to boot the Bios and another half hour of the harddrive alone on the fan made it work again.
I will get me one of these as soon as I can find it at an affordable price. And yes, I did back up the data onto my USB caddy and the server.
Could it be saved by the fact that I don’t use sugar and only soy milk?
I just stumbled upon a picture on deviantart that was done in MS Paint in 500 hours.
And I thought I waste time. Don’t get me wrong, the skill is amazing and hats off to the man, but why use MS Paint for a job like that?
I am very pleased to see the numbers of visitors on my Unobtrusive JavaScript self training course, and I am currently translating it to German. I realised there was no way to leave a comment yet, and going through emails is tiring sooner or later, so let’s start a post here instead. :-)
