The Most Awesomest Code Slave with Dimples I Know

Baby Boomer Going Like Sixty Posted on by

Followers know I hacked around on my blog design, trying to steampunk it with a newspaper theme, then Kirk came in and cleaned up afterwards.
Well it happened again. Seems that while I was just so darn proud of my theme, everybody that used IE – only 90% of the friggin’ world – was seeing crapola. I was only checking my hacking in Firefox.

Kirk has just been too much under the weather to tackle cleaning up after me, so I asked Rachel to give it a go. (Get better Kirk!) Rachael’s nice and all that, but she never drove a submarine!
I needed two things: upgrade two blogs and write CSS for IE to make this one look like I want. She did both, AND put up with my incessant picking at her while she was working. She did a great job. She blogs too. And has a new husband. And Ian. And two dimples. And lives in Michigan (my home state.)

I give Rachel my highest recommendation.
Thank you Rachel.
UPDATE: Just to be clear, Rachel didn’t design this theme, in case you think it sucks. She just made it work in IE.

The Most Awesomest Code Slave with Dimples I Know — 12 Comments

  1. Like I said, if all my clients were as awesome as you, I would have SUCH an easier time. 🙂

    My dimples and I are your friends for life. 😀

    Rachael’s last blog post..I have sisters

  3. No matter….I like your blog style. I am not sure if you saw my comment yesterday, here, but you do have an award for your blog at my personal blog. {Friday’s blog]

  4. I like Rachael’s dimples, too. My son Matt has similar dimples.

    Is there anything in the world better than a cute techie, male or female?

    Gretchen’s last blog post..Momofuku.

  5. Hey Sixty,

    Sheesh! No wonder you dumped me for Rachel. She’s better at code and a heck of a lot better looking, I don’t care if she never drove a submarine (a dubious honor at best). Still working on the health issues, if I can keep the VA away from me long enough I might actually get ahead of it. 😛

  6. Hi Rachel,

    Nice job on the theme! He never looked better (and that’s quite a chore). Now for some reason, I’m not getting the puke green color for the content in IE 7.0 that I’m seeing in Firefox 3 (nightly’s). This probably means that Sixty loaded up yet another badly coded widget or gadget into a post or the sidebar that’s keeping the page from fully loading in IE. You really have to watch that guy. (Hey there, Sixty! 😀 )

    Just between you and me, I like the all over newspaper look of the blog I see in IE 7.0 without the pea soup spilled all down the middle. Of course I just had to say that.

  8. @Kirk and Rachael: Just pretend like I’m not here. 🙁 Yes, since you both have to clean up my messes, you should know each other, kind of like the coroner and the undertaker should know each other.

    I see I screwed up the right side nav in FF somehow too. Maybe I’ll just wait and see if FF3 fixes it!

    Yes, I don’t took the body background out of one place. 😛

  9. Yes. Kirk and I are best friends now. We are hatching a plot to… well, if I tell you, I’ll have to kill you. And I like you too much, so I can’t do that. 😉

    Also, FF3beta5 sees a slightly messed-up sidebar, but maybe the release candidate will love on your blog better! Who knows! 🙂

    Rachael’s last blog post..Taking it (sort of) easy. Okay, not really.

  10. Hey there,

    Yes Sixty, Rachael and I are best buddies all around and we have something in common…you! (aarrr!)

    Hi Rachael,

    The sidebar was broken in half on a short post (single page) and was stuck under the content plus the comment box was overlapping the sidebar a bit (in the Firefox 3 nightly builds). Both appear to be fixed now to be fixed now.

    About that plot; I think we’re being too….easy on him. Don’t you?
