Lessons Learned: Themes

.NET. If you add a theme to a project, remember this: any .css files that are placed in that themed folder will be added into every page that uses the theme. And so if you place an invalid .css file into the folder, it may be a tricky thing to figure out.

I learned this a dumb way, when I was tasked with adding a pdf file to a website that was to be printed out from an excel spreadsheed, I first saved the excel spreadsheet as html, and used that customer's themed folder to work in. Bad Idea. The site mysteriously went haywire in the display. I checked versions against versions and found nothing wrong. I checked the same files again. Then when I looked at the source of the site I saw the Excel .css file was being linked in. So that was how I learned my lesson about Themed folders.

Tears of a Clown

Oh. What a title. I was going through some old documents the other day and came across this drawing. Something from another life, boy did that bring back memories. I used to have a goal for becoming a professional artist. But really I'm just not that talented. Took me a while to realize my folly, kind of reminds me of those poor singers who want to be the next American Idol.

HaHa. But life is good. Plenty to do these days and not enough time to do it in.
But anyway, hope things are going well with whoever may read this too. Happy Spring!
