I posted a demo of ‘For My Love of Poison’ last night. You can listen to it on the Home page, the Lyrics page, or the Demos page. Hopefully, I’ll figure out how to syndicate the flash mp3 player in my RSS feed soon. That would nice.

Leaving for PEI. It’s 14 hours on the road and then days and days of sitting around.

Update: Fixed with margin:0; padding:0; css:duh;
If you look at the grey box either to the right of or above this paragraph you will notice that the Navigation menu is pushing the boundaries of acceptable behavior. It’s a remnant from the browser wars and unfortunately I won’t be able to trouble shoot it until tonight at the earliest as it requires both a PC and a Mac. Basically, Internet Explorer and Opera use the box model’s margins for the indentations of unordered lists while Safari, Firefox, and Camino use the box model’s padding. I don’t imagine it will be that difficult to work around but I have been wrong before.

It was another marathon day on the coding front. The good news is that I think the site is ready for some alpha testing. Maybe I can start playing guitar again, which is arguably the point of this website, and record a song before Laura and I leave for PEI.

Let’s do the Time Warp again!
Today has flown by and I’m not quite sure where it all went but I can tell you that I’ve essentially re-coded the entire site today. It’s good experience, I just wish it was done already. I’m also pretty sure my CSS is good and messy.

There is a wonderful little bug in Firefox on OS X where Firefox can’t render Flash movies with a transparent background (wmode = “transparent”) when you are using a CSS opacity setting on the containing DIV background. I also observed this in Camino 1.5 but didn’t bother to download the newest release as I have successfully implemented my solution, transparent PNGs. For whatever reason, I was trying to use only CSS for the transparent background which was a headache in and of itself. The PNGs are actually working out better and I don’t really care if IE doesn’t support them.
