Blooper
Maybe I should have taken a screenshot and submitted this one to BBspot before reporting it. Sent the following email to the IT people at my uni today:
Hello,
I'm finding it rather entertaining that there's a messed-up paragraph tag on the page for the "HTML/CSS In a Day" class:
"<div id="ctl00_Main_description"><p>HTML/CSS In a Day combines the most essential aspects of our HTML and CSS classes, providing students with a strong overview of web design in a short amount of time. From using simple tags to mark up text with HTML code and writing rule sets with basic CSS selectors, students will become familiar with HTML and CSS, the languages of the web. By studying HTML and CSS, students can begin to design web pages that are useful, aesthetically pleasing, accessible and available to the whole world. This class condenses several hours of material into a four hour period; not all topics taught in HTML 1, HTML 2, CSS 1, or CSS 2 will be covered.
While this class teaches the most recent version of HTML (XHTML 1.0), the skills taught in the class will help students in almost every web design environment.

Have a nice day =)
It was at here* but it's fixed now =D I'm thinking of signing up for their JavaScript class so I can make my website cooler...if I ever get around to doing anything else with it besides Blogger. I took a couple of computer science courses in undergrad and liked it enough that I was thinking of doing a minor, but couldn't fit the required maths into my schedule.
The really funny thing is that even those two courses were the only coding I've ever done in my life aside from a bit of messing with ZZT as a kid, I won the Sophomore Prize in Computer Science and people kept thinking I was a CS major after that.
*syiok sendiri*
*Yes, I realize that's gramatically incorrect. I just like doing Manglish grammar to be cute sometimes. Also as a reaction to my childhood when people avoided the freakish kid who spoke perfect English.Labels: silly

Yay, an acronym tag in a HTML/CSS entry! :) That's pretty funny. All my Asian family/friends are Thai or Filipino, so I'm not sure they'd know syiok sendiri.
You can also use the 'title' property on an anchor tag and omit the 'href' to do the same thing as an acronym tag, but it doesn't always work on all browsers. Acronym always does.
Sounds like it might be a decent class if they remember to close their tags. My CSS skills are pretty weak (plenty of errors) while others I bother are fairly strong (no errors, clean CSS). I'm OK at JavaScript (once wrote an entire page in JavaScript with a basic JDBC connection & servlet to a database). Nasty code, but fun result.
AJAX and Ruby-on-Rails are where it's at. I wish I had the time to learn either. CSC, SAIC, Google, and the federal government pay absurd amounts of money if you can code either, or you have another expertise (something they want) but can code either.
Or, there's always LOLcode.
That's awesome! :)
HAI

INVISIBLE "ERROR!"
KTHXBYE
...I'll need to post this to the Sony Gamer Advisory Panel (GAP). Mike, Joel & Yuki keep pinging me about Linux on the PS3, hacks/exploits, and how easy the PS3 is to code for.
LOLcode: coming soon to a PS3 near you!
