I broke the internet

Well, only sort of. Today was not my best day - I rolled out some code that took down our public website for a few hours this morning. The thing is, it only affected FireFox and Chrome (and maybe Safari - didn't check) but IE was fine so I didn't notice right away...when I did notice - I got that sick to my stomach feeling when you know you screwed up but you are not quiet sure how to fix it.
Took about 40 minutes but I was able to fix my mistake and there were several times when I had to wait for something to deploy or wait for a server to reboot. Turns out sitting and thinking about my screw-up made me feel even worse - so to take my mind of SharePoint and code I give you a list of non-SharePoint things that make me happy and do not require me to use any CSS.

  4. Jodi, as a piece of advice you should always annotate links that you provide (as opposed to just providing the links). By providing an annotation, you give the viewer an advanced organizer for how you want the viewer to use the link or what you want to the viewer to focus on.
