Safeway also has a few good deals this week, including $1.77 milano cookies and $1 blackberries. Yay for cheap-or-free food-or-things. :D<\/p>\n<p>Work has been exciting lately. I&#8217;ve been working on reskinning the login page for the past few days&#8230; it&#8217;s made me realize how behind I am on new webdesign paradigms. Apparently, everything nowadays is done with CSS and the HTML itself is very minimal (sometimes to the extent that the page without CSS looks like a plain text file&#8211;unformatted black text on a white background). This is all fine and good except it often involves hardcoding pixel values in the CSS. Unlike tables, which will grow to fit larger text, CSS-styled divs will do strange (and often undesirable) things. This led to a few hacks that I ended up doing to get stuff looking right after localization. Meh. I really need to do webdesign again.<\/p>\n<p>Life has been good. I&#8217;ve been working a bit on a redesign of Student Wars v2 to make the cards cleaner (AKA less text). Eventually, I&#8217;m going to release the game freely (instead of behind a password) so more people can play. Whee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been following consumerist lately, and have gotten quite a few free coupons.
