Wherein I start out to do something good and end up getting annoyed.
Predictability in UI design
So today I had the dubious pleasure of working all afternoon on UI design in Cocoa, and then UI design in Rails/CSS/HTML.?
Going from one to the other really highlights some of the problems in doing web-based design!
My big issue with writing in HTML/CSS is? predictability. I do not? enjoy wondering if something is going to render properly, or if a particular CSS attribute is going to work the way it ought to.
Maybe I’m doing it wrong. Maybe CSS doesn’t suck as bad as I seem to think. But until I can say “you, the content box! Size yourself to fit around the content inside you and then position yourself in the center of the screen” just that easily…
Pushups for 2009/04/08 (80)
Next day on the schedule, with 120 second breaks:
Pushups for 2009/04/05 (72)
Today’s sets were the next day of the Hundred Pushups routine. Continue reading Pushups for 2009/04/05 (72)
Pushups for 2009/04/03 (100)
Much better today. I seem to have abandoned the “official” Hundred Pushups sets to just to whatever I can. Not sure what I should do about that at this point.. Continue reading Pushups for 2009/04/03 (100)
Pushups for: 2009/04/02 (41)

Pushups for 2009-03-30 (71)
Sets:
- 17
- 12
- 13
- 12
- 17
For a total of 71 pushups in about 10 minutes. I had to take longer breaks after being out of the loop for almost two weeks, but I got the full set.?
I think I’ll repeat this set (week 3 day 1) one more time before moving on. I’m not sure I’ll be able to pull off 14/19/14/14/19 without a bit more lead-up.
Pushups for… Oh crap
So much fail!
An important lesson to learn is that if you’re going to undertake something that requires regularly repeating activities you MUST stay “in the groove”.
Having gotten out of the habit for just two days, I have competely failed in the quest. It’s been 2 weeks apparently. How does time go so quickly?
Perhaps just after this weekend vacation I will resume.
Pushups for 2009-03-15 (62)
Took another whack at the next day’s worth of pushups, but I upped the time between by 30 seconds: (90 second breaks)
- 13
- 17
- 12
- 12
- 8 (was supposed to be minimum 17)
So, not quite up to snuff yet for this week. Will try again tomorrow or Tuesday. Need to do the complete set with 60 second breaks before moving on.
Pushups for 2009-03-14 (35)
Fail! Today’s sets: (60 second breaks)
- 12
- 17
- 6
Sets 3 and 4 were supposed to be 13 each, and set 5 was minimum 17. I just couldn’t hack it though. Maybe that’s what I get for doing my workout so late at night. I’ll try again tomorrow, and maybe it won’t be so bad.
