I have been using JOTT for a few weeks now. Mostly because I really like to do geek things :), but also with the new hands-free laws I typically have my bluetooth on, or near by. So what exactly is Jott.

After a long day of work and more work I decided to do a little more work and was in the middle of some web development on a new client's site. I was NOT able to access the back end as user1.
The problem was not the username that I was provided, I know it was fine because I could see the name in the database table. It was the password that was giving me trouble....

I was very excited today when I was able to use a website that a friend pointed me to. The site is http://www.faceyourmanga.com/welcome.htm it reminds me of the Wii Channel, but much cooler.

If you have about 4 minutes this is worth a watch. It's a pretty neat tribute to Saturday morning cartoons. I remember almost all of them and you can't go wrong with a good Aerosmith song. (You have to wait until 0:16 for the actual video to start.)

This is a little about webkinz.
I think people should have webkinz and if they don't know how or what they are, they might learn about them from me.

If you buy a webkinz and you don't know what to do with it here's what I do...

I cut off the little tag.
I open the tag.
I read the secret code inside.
I log onto the webkinz website
and then I go the adaption center.

I spent the last hour trying to get that little Flickr to work. It was a nightmare... Hopefully someone will come across this blog and find their solution much, much faster than I did.

The problem:
The user id
I got all kinds of errors no matter what I tired.
error 1 user not found
error 2 undefined or something unknown...

The solution:

It was quite a day today. I was able to dedicate 8 hours to website development and it was really quite fun. I have not spent that much time working on a project for someone else all in one sitting before. Here's what I noticed.

Let's see how it works. If I want to start blogging, I am going to have to find an easy way to do it because... well... I am all about the path of least resistance. So let's see if this works...
... now I post ...

It worked...
