Stupid Computers
How is it that within the course of a few hours, my knowledge of web design can make me feel like a total genius and then like a total idiot.
Someone at work wanted advice on setting up an on-line survey. Yesterday I was able to explain to him what he’d need to do using HTML and php, and to create a good enough example that by this afternoon he was working on creating the actual survey and the layout of the pages he wanted to use. (Plus I loaned him a good book that helped as well.)
A few hours later Michael and I are banging our heads against my website trying to figure out why the code:
<?php include (‘http://klishis.com/reading.html’); ?>
suddenly stopped working for no reason whatsoever.
Best part? Michael couldn’t figure it out either, and we had to use a work-around. Stupid computers.
