Photo of the Day.
Today's photo of the day comes from a site I found for getting some sweet backgrounds: digitalblasphemy.com. I chose this "sunrise" photo in honor of being up so early.

Off to Vegas.
We're leaving for Las Vegas today. I talked my wife into going at the last minute, so we're road-tripping starting around noon or so. It's about a 12 hour drive from Denver, and she's 7 months pregnant, so we're going to take 2 days to do it. With any luck, we'll be relaxing in the fancy schmancy Venetian by early tomorrow afternoon. A friend (whose meeting us there) got a steal on Priceline.com. I'll have high speed internet in both hotels I'm staying in and at the conference too, but probably won't post anything until Monday.
Roller Bug Tracking
has moved from SourceForge to JIRA . I used JIRA a couple of times today and it's a way cool interface and very easy to use. Nice job Atlassian and Mike! I've used Bugzilla a lot in the past, and briefly looked at Scarab, both of which are free. I like Bugzilla a lot, but it can be a little intimidating to setup and use for the first time. As soon as you get that first 1/2 hour over with, you're good to go. It's always nice to learn new products, but with JIRA's price tag of $800, I doubt I'll ever get to use this beyond Roller. However, if it's good - I'll recommend it to my clients and maybe I can get some kickbacks ;-)
Is your website obsolete?
In case you need more motivation to convert your site to XHTML and CSS, Zeldman rants that "99.9% of Websites are Obsolete."
Peel the skin of any major site, from Amazon to Microsoft.com, from Sony to ZDNet. Examine their tortuous non-standard markup, their proprietary ActiveX and JavaScript (often including broken detection scripts), and ill-conceived use of Cascading Style Sheets - when they use CSS at all. It's a wonder such sites work in any browser.
Photo of the Day.
I got this idea from The FuzzyBlog. I did a search on Google for Colorado Photos, and found www.coloradophotos.com. Very cool - I might have to showcase a new photo each day - it does wonders for making this site look better.
