Will get there, eventually.

I think I like exercising earlier in the day better. I was forced to do so today because some people came over for lunch - a relative of ours from Bulacan is leaving for Guam, and her family's accompanying her to the airport tonight.

It's always festive when people come over: the noise, the better-and-more-than-usual food, the mere presence of enough people to fill the house somewhat. There were a lot of kids earlier, livening up the atmosphere even more. Of course, I was mostly in my room, fiddling with CSS.

I had forgotten about CSS browser hell, how unintuitively different browsers might interpret a particular set of CSS rules. Read up on CSS standards, best practices, and so on. CSS can get complicated quickly, so I thought I'd get a good grounding in the fundamentals before just diving in.

I did work on a website today (cribbed the material from here). The results were passable, I suppose, for someone who hasn't been doing this in a while. I'm still not too comfortable regarding structuring HTML and organizing my CSS, but that should come in time.

I thought I'd be able to work on Javascript today, but fiddling with layouts and such is too much fun!

Today's little things.

I watched Sam Mendes' Away We Go today, and found it to be a funny, smart, feel-good film. Currently... acquiring a copy of 500 Days of Summer. Yeah, I didn't think I'd find myself watching rom-com-dramas, either. Go figure.

Also began teaching myself HTML, CSS, and Javascript today. I'm already fairly comfortable with HTML and CSS, having tinkered with blog layouts and the like in the past. Javascript and dynamic pages is something new to me, though, so I'm gonna have to work on that. Eventually I hope to also learn PHP and SQL, for the complete web development package.
