Well after an exhausting day of travel on Thursday, all three of us passed out for the night and woke up refreshed and ready to face our first day as a family. We decided to just wander the streets of Antigua this morning and spent about 2 hours meandering around the city and taking some snapshots.

We’ll be meeting some of Michelle’s friends later and hopefully find out where the grocery store is around here. All we currently have to eat in the apartment is tortilla chips with black beans and guacamole.

Learned a valuable lesson today after a frustrating 30 minutes of debugging.  I’m working on an Ajax powered site for a client of mine, and while it worked just fine in Firefox, IE was throwing one of its nefarious “Unknown Runtime Exception” errors.

Turns out that I had give a TD element an ID of description which – apparently – is some kind of reserved word in IE (I haven’t fully investigated yet) and so I changed the ID to prop_description and everything ran smoothly.

I’m going to try and find out if there are any more of these reserved words with which I should avoid naming document elements.  Just something to keep in mind.

previous to finding LogWatcher plugin for Eclipse, I always used the Windows tail log viewer called Baretail. As usual, though, I’d end up with 4 extra windows open on my machine cluttering up the taskbar.

LogWatcher allows me to do everything that Baretail did, and it’s integrated into Eclipse allowing me to easily open logs, switch view, and filter the views.

Can’t live without it now.
