Okay, from the outset I have to apologize. It’s my own fault; I *know* to allow extra time for construction when coming across US 192.

Truckers used to use 192 as a fast shortcut from the Orlando area to I-95. The DOT decided that they wanted them to pay tolls instead, so construction on 192 is scheduled for completion approximately when hell freezes over.

Worse, I missed the turnoff for the venue and had to loop about 1/2 a mile around the block. So I was 15 minutes late getting there.

I’d missed half the show. Literally.

My fault. I’m sorry.

The rest of the prejudging took about another 30 minutes. I’ve posted what I managed to get. Enjoy.

Okay, rather than start from scratch I decided to take the existing design and see if I could install the “brains” of the bodybuilding page (the part that builds and sizes all the links based on the page name and config file, and the extra information associated with each show).

The answer: yes, I could.

This means that contest pages (Mid-Florida and forward) should work in both IE and in good browsers now, and also should integrate more nicely into the style of the site as a whole.

So that worked out; though I’m still not completely happy with the apparent incomplete download on the pop-ups, I can live with it for now. I’m curious as to how the new layout works on screens with lower resolution than mine– drop me a note on the feedback link if you have a comment.

Hopefully I can catch up on some of the other latent projects over the next few days: I still have:
* the Space Coast show to put up,
* a very nice update to Sherry’s page to finish,
* a travelogue from my last Cincinnati trip,
* about nine brazillion photos of figure competitor Toni to go through, and
* a shoot of figure competitor Brandy Gardner to handle.

And oh, and the Ancient City is next weekend.

And oh, I’ve started my diet– not sure if I’m competing or not, but I’m going to train towards it anyway.

So much to do… (boggle)
