Auctions, Swimming and Web Design

Today was the first annual Bearcat Senior Auction. Meaning that we, the seniors, have been auctioned off as slaves! Adam and I are doing yardwork, garage work, and car detail (Andrew’s doing some of it too). I’m also designing a small website for someone.
The auction was to raise money for our senior jackets ‘n’ stuff, and it took place in the classroom at our pool, with Kate as the auctioneer.

The 2005 OSI 11&Over State Championships are coming up in two days, and I can’t wait! I’m not swimming on Thursday though, so for me it’s three days. I’m swimming the 50 free, 100 free, 200 free, 400 free, 100 fly and 200 fly. Hey, I’m not a variety person.
But the bad thing is, they had to change a few of the rules because so many people are entered:

• There will be no finals.
• Only one time trial per person.
• There will be two people per lane for the mile.

The last one doesn’t matter to me all that much, since I’m not swimming the mile, but no finals? And one time trial per person?? If it’s a problem of too many people entering, they should just make the qualifying times faster. At least it will be at a good pool, from what I hear. (The Amazon pool.)

On my dad’s site, well, it looked OK, but the coding was really ugly, and there was a bug where the last link (Sitemap) in the nav section showed up with less space than the other links in IE, but more space in other browsers. So Uncle Rick helped me solve the problem and clean up the code. It shows up better in other browsers now, and I learned a lot.

    Well, stuff like, I made the divs float:left instead of using absolute positioning, put some extra unnoticable background images to make everything show up fine in Darth IE, etc. :P

    Okay. :P

    I’m glad all our geeking-out helped. Keep on learning, and at this rate, next time I’ll be able to ask you to debug one of my sites.
