On Weekly Review 2007-12-17 to 2007-12-21

Fall semester came to a predictable and unhappy ending: an 'A-' in my fun class, and a 'C' in my hard class. I'm not bummed, but exasperated that I didn't do better in Art. Maybe I should've put in a few more hours of effort.

The initial few days of break were everything I dreamed they would be. I wasted gross amounts of time, and dragged a few others down with me. There were romantic comedies, IMAX Will Smith running scenes, and mooching at various friends' house.

Now the 2nd week is upon me. I still feel fantastic! Granted, I'm not thrilled about the progress I've made on Yumify and other projects, but overall I'm still having a bitching time. Here are some accomplishments to cheer for:

• Yumify has rudimentary Google maps support thanks to Cartography
• Set up Playstation 2 for increased laziness during down time. GT4 is every bit as exciting even through a bad quality picture through a VGA box.
• Massive rewiring and cleanup of my room. It took approximately an hour, but as always, my room is sparkling and clutter free with a hint of orange degreaser in the air.
• Got my bro interested in web stuff. Did not complete a guide in CSS for him like I said I would. I realize I need more knowledge in that area before I could explain material to people.
• Documented Blogger variables. These will be useful when the time comes to redo the HTML for my blog template.
• Fiddled around with Photoshop and InDesign. I really had a good time in InDesign after I tried to layout a page in Photoshop. Big mistake.
• Learned a little thing called 'Clearing Floats' that beats using an superfluous HTML element to clear floated divs.
