New Things I Learn Every Day

Ugh, Dreamweaver Upgrade Borks my Site Settings, Gives Me Something to Be Thankful for

Dreamweaver LogoThere must have been another copy of the site settings (from like say, 2005) that Dreamweaver grabbed when I upgraded from the admittedly ancient Dreamweaver 8 to a still shamefully retro CS3*.

There still were a number of sites in the "Manage sites" window which is why I didn't notice right away. Then when I started looking for anything I'd done in the past 2 years -- MPOW, a couple of other sites I'm working on -- denada. I had wiped them.

Thank God for TimeMachine. I was able to export the site settings from the deleted old version and then import them into the new version.

This Thankgiving I'm thankful for TimeMachine.

* And no jokes about the version -- I'm just waiting for CS5 like the rest of humanity.

'Doritos Ramen Salad' - or What I learned from this week's Depaul Student Newspaper

Talk about potpourri, this week's DePaulia, the student newspaper of DePaul contains the following highlights:

  • Enrollment rises, quality falls
    "Students now have to learn rushing techniques just to get into the elevator and when they do many elevators are over crowded. Elevators are also going unmonitored and people are piling in, which could potentially be reaching the elevator's maximum weight requirement."
  • Your Mac doesn't make you cool
    "It must be admitted that this very text comes from a MacBook Pro. However, fellow Apple enthusiasts, enough with the name drop."
  • Use Your Noodles: Ramen for all occasions
    "Doritos Ramen Salad:
    Package of Ramen noodles (Preferably beef flavored)
    Bag of Doritos, or tortilla chips
    ½ - Pound Ground beef
    1 Cup shredded cheese
    Taco seasoning(optional)"

Zeldman Reveals Secret of Successful Project Management

Web Designer extraordinaire, Jeffery Zeldman (half-seriously) reveals the secret of successful project management:

The trick to great projects, I have found, is (a.) landing clients with whom you are sympatico, and who understand language, time, and money the same way you do, and (b.) assembling teams you don’t have to lead, because everyone instinctively knows what to do.

One can only wonder what prompted the comment.
