The Canon Rebel t2i
Just picked this sucker up last week and am very excited about it! I did some shooting around Boston last night to try it out.
New Bastards Inc. Site
Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I’ve been hard at work on the new Bastards Inc. website which just went live today: bastardsinccomedy.com.
It was a lot of work but I learned a lot about WordPress and about my new favorite tool: Firebug. I have to say that I HATE CSS. It is almost impossible to work with but Firebug really, really, really makes it easier.
Let me rant for a second about CSS…
I’m a programmer. I’ve been writing code for a long time. I work mostly in Java but I’m pretty competent in looking at a language that I don’t know and figuring out what’s going on. Looking at code should be intuitive. I can look at a line of Java and tell you what’s happening there. The problem with CSS is that you look at a line of html and have NO CLUE why it looks the way it does in your browser. You then have to troll through three or four CSS stylesheets tracking down the fifty or so styles that could apply to the element you’re looking at. Oh, it’s a <p> tag? Is it inside a div with class “container” inside a td? Oh wait, it’s wrapped in the super parent div with id “shitbag” but oh wait shitbag…where is that defined…OH it’s in this third party plugin stylesheet that I didn’t know about but oh shit this is being affects by the blockquote tag that was opened 87 lines ago. IT IS INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING. I’m sure there are some hardcore CSSers out there who will say the problem isn’t with CSS, the problem is with me but when you’re dealing with something like WordPress and a bunch of stylesheets that are pulled in from various themes and plugins and you don’t have the luxury of a perfectly structured cascade architecture, you are just completely F’d. CSS is not intuitive at ALL but a tool like Firebug makes it manageable.
Anyway….check out the site!
