Dear Gmail Team: Please remove the space inside of your anchor tag

with 5 comments

The past few GMail promos have had this space… and enough is enough.

gmail space

See the space after the Y in “Share your Gmail Story” ? It’s underlined, because the link is underlined.

I’ve put an underscore in to illustrate in this majestic HTML:

<a href="LINK HERE">Share your Gmail Story_</a>

Please change it to:

<a href="LINK HERE">Share your Gmail Story</a>

and I’ll be happy again.

The important thing to not is the space before the closing anchor tag. Please get rid of it so the rest of the header is consistent.

Thank you.

Are you kidding me? Fletcher Grants Commutation For Harrison Yonts

with 3 comments

A while back I wrote some Harrison Yonts Trial Updates – the trial is over. He was sentenced to twenty years in jail. Or he did, until former KY governor commuted his sentence.

WPSD TV in Paducah, KY has coverage and the former governor’s press release.

Today, in one of his last acts as governor Ernie Fletcher commuted Yonts’ sentence from 20 years to eight. A decision that has many people who followed the case infuriated saying justice was undone.

This is truly sad.

Launch: bibleshark.com

with one comment

Derek and I have been working pretty hard for a few months on launching this project. It’s our first experience with Django/Python/stored procedures, but I am very proud of our site.

We’ve consolidated 10 translations of the Bible that we have found from various sources online.

Here are some examples:

Douay-Rheims – Young’s Literal – King James – display John Chapter 3 side by side:

or good ol’ John 3:16

http://www.bibleshark.com/bible/KJV/John/3/16/

Give it a browse – and let us know what you think!
