so i figured out my analytics issue

apparently i am an idiot.
i realized that it was more of a firefox issue than it was analytics. apparently when you open site overlay in firefox, it screws up your cache.
sooo all i had to do was clear out my cache.

yep. good job caitlin for using your head grapes.

well shit

in the process of reblogging my own post, i learned there was something wrong with my photo blog. i changed the theme, and it’s now fine but missing my google analytics code.

i headed over to my website and learned it’s got the same problem my blog had. which is REALLY awful. it looks as though the whole site had been highlighted, but theres now a working scroll bar and my links are inactive [http://caitlinbates.com]

i have a feeling it’s my analytics code, but not sure what to do about it.
has anyone else had an issue like this if you have one? or if not, anyone willing to help me out with this?

in just 3 more paychecks

i will be at the financial goal i wanted to get at in order to move out of my parent’s place and into my own. i am so close i can smell it!!

woohoo!

i just bought 35 xrays off ebay for under $40.
i’m so exicted. can’t wait to get them!

:D

the 3.1 software for the ipod/iphone

is driving me mad. perhaps its because i’m refusing to download itunes 9.
whenever i turn on ‘shuffle’, sometimes i actually get a shuffle of all my music. but sometimes i get the same exact shuffle mix that i had the previous day, which, whether it was a good mix or not it’s annoying.
also, if i have a duplicate of a song, it’s being played right after the other.
for example, i was listening to sufjan steven’s ‘chicago’ from the illinoise album. well i also have the avalanche album, which is nothing but redos of songs from the illinoise album. so after ‘chicago’ played, it then started to play the acoustic version. and then the instrumental version. etc.
i thought it was a weird until i noticed it happens EVERY TIME to EVERY song i have a different version of or even just a duplicate from another album.

i’m very annoyed about it.
also, lately to get around it i’ve been using the genius playlist, which pulls out some really great stuff every now and then, but that thing is starting to get annoying as well. i don’t like how you have to pick a song first [9 times out of 10 i’m driving! bad idea..] and then it plays certain artists multiple times. i thought the idea of a playlist or a mix was to not do that? and it doesn’t ever branch out and surprise me of what will play next.

i’m just unhappy about both. i remember a day when shuffle worked beautifully and i was reminded of old, but awesome music that i forgot i even had, and i had no idea what would play next. those were the days i suppose.

i wish iphone/ipod games were longer

i always feel like i’m beating them in less than 3 hours.
and the level of complexity has nothing to do with it, either.
i know it’s not an xbox and it’s not meant to run on like halo does, but generally ill play one for about an hour, maybe less and when i go to pick it up again at a later time, i beat one level and the game is over.
and then im off blowing more money away on something else to pass the time.

maybe i just play the damn games for too long.
dork.
