Intentionally Unexpected
For the second year in a row, Easter morning is no more than just another day. No getting up early, no stressing out about 3 different choirs that need managing, and no practicing for weeks for the giant fanfare postlude.
I think I miss it!

Yes, WordPress’s <!–more–> link is handy… Didn’t know about that before. I shall now use it to help you from seeing crap that you’re not interested in. Much happier this way! (I no longer have to decide if I want to keep the pushups category on the front-page or not. I’ll just make it less annoying!)
Wherein I start out to do something good and end up getting annoyed.
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…
Next day on the schedule, with 120 second breaks:
Today’s sets were the next day of the Hundred Pushups routine. Continue reading Pushups for 2009/04/05 (72)
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)
Wherein I fail most miserably. Continue reading Pushups for: 2009/04/02 (41)
Sets:
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.
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.
