I forgot that yesterday was CSS Naked Day. So when I went to my site, I was pissed that my site was jacked up. My first thought was that my site was hacked. The styling was gone but all of the content was there. Which didn’t make sense why a hacker would do that. That I realized what happened.

That was my first CSS Naked Day that I participated in. It was pretty cool. Click on the image to see a screenshot of my site during CSS Naked Day. Also, a “thank you” goes to Aja Lupas for creating the Wordpress CSS Naked Day plugin that I used.

So I have come up with a few more types of words that can describe an amount:

couple few:
More than a few, but not by much. This could be double the amount of what “few” typically refers to. For example, “I have a couple few pairs of shoes.”

crap load:
A large amount, but not large enough that it is not under control. For example, “I have a crap load of debt!” As in the example, this would generally be an exclamatory statement. Emphasis can be added to the word “crap” to imply even more than what “crap load” would typically imply.

shit ton:
An very large, almost unbelievable amount. This amount would generally describe a very, very large number. For example, “There is a shit done of dust in the attic!” As in the example, this would generally be an exclamatory statement. Emphasis can be added to the word “shit” to imply even more than what “shit ton” would typically imply.

All of these are context-sensitive amounts. If someone says, “There are a shit ton of people on the planet Earth,” you would assume “shit ton” is roughly 6,800,000,000. On the other hand, is someone says, “I lost a shit ton of weight.” You would never think they lost 6,800,000,000 pounds. Instead, the amount of “shit ton” would take into account their current weight. Since it is a good, round number, let’s say 200 pounds. In this case, “shit ton” would mean they lost roughly 150-200 pounds they previously had.

What’s funny about this error message is I never installed Siverlight. How can it expire if it’s not installed? By the way, Silverlight is a FREE plugin. How does it expire to begin with?

I did a little bit of online research, and apparently it goes deeper than this. I clicked on ‘No’ when I saw the message so I can’t vouch for this. But the link that is in the error message, you can’t copy that link. So you have to type it in the address bar of the browser manually. Once you get to the page, you get the same error message and can’t update Silverlight. You have to go to the Silverlight page instead of the Silverlight update page.

So good job, Microsoft. Not doing so good when it comes to contending with Flash.
