Made some modifications to the Slimbox script so that it could be used before the page has finished loading.
After years of not having glasses thanks to the Lasik eye surgery, I'm finally getting another pair. I noticed my vision getting slightly blurry, and when I had my eye exam on Wednesday the doc confirmed it. Though it's not bad enough to actually necessate the use of corrective lenses, insurance is covering the entire thing so might as well. Of course, to have it cost absolutely nothing out of my pocket I was limited to about two frames... okay, not about, it was exactly two frames. Why are those things so expensive?

Posted the character profile of Denzel (from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children).
Shortly after I awoke Monday morning the power decided that it didn't feel like hanging around, so it took a few hours off. Not sure exactly was, as the weather wasn't all that bad. It was raining slightly, but no lightning and the winds didn't seem that strong. But then last night we had a MAJOR thunderstorm! Lightening flashed and thunder cracked while rain slammed down harder than Thor's hammer. The thunder was so loud that it felt like it was shaking our entire house. Power stayed on, though, so that was nice. Today the weather was a mix of sun and rain. No power issues, but once again our Comcast Internet was acting up. It didn't go out completely, but it would keep doing that reset connection thing so I had to keep hitting "retry" for almost every page load.
And since I'm on the subject of Comcast, I have to say that our NBC high-def channel has these constant, really annoying audio glitches where the sound will pop or click or drop for a fraction of a second. It is SO annoying! I wish I could test out the OTA channel to see if it was Comcast or NBC, but unfortunately we can't receive that channel with our antenna. The picture also has glitches, where little tiny boxes will pop up once in a while, but those I can live with. It's the constant audio popping that's driving me crazy. Makes it hard to enjoy the fine quality NBC programming like Knight Rider... LOL, I couldn't even type that with a straight face!
