It is going. Got up late this morning about 9:30. It is just after 11AM, here. I NEVER know how the days are going to go some days I feel like blank and turn to anti-anxity medication (better than the bottle) and some days I feel decent. So far today has been the latter. How are you?

 

[MS140ukn]

Just if you do that be prepared to be up EARLY. In some cases they open before Thanksgiving is even out.

 

[MS140ukn]

yes. but learning from past experience, those lines can be quite long and long hours. i will probaley take my time and arrive at regular store hours, thus avoiding those long lines. the store opens at 4am during black friday sales.

But some of those are only on from a certain time to another certain time.

i was thinking getting one from radio shack, but decided to not lol. i think radio shack has a lot of stuff that is restocked with refurbished computers. if i wasnt so afraid to buy online, i would. security is high priority for me. ebay, craigslist, overstock etc.

hullo mark! hows it going?

Pretty good...I was just installing an add-on I wrote for my site to give common math abbreviations/acronyms mouse rollover information so that users newer to math can hover their mouse over unfamiliar abbreviations and see the full expressions.

The tricky part to this add-on was to code it so that it wouldn't break our LaTeX system (a markup language we use to display pretty math expressions).

CSS can be very tricky and frustrating. It makes my head hurt all the time, especially when you have to deal with cross-browser compatibility.
