Hackbright... Javascript... pain and pleasure!

A pirate walks into a bar. He sits down, orders his drink and settles in. The bartender looks over the pirate and is quite impressed because the pirate has everything: the tricorn hat, the peg leg, even the parrot. But something is off. Finally, the bartender asks, "Sir, I'm really digging what you're wearing. But, I gotta ask. What is with the steering wheel in your pants?

The pirate responds, "Aaaaargh, it's driving me nuts!"

Thank you, Erika for that joke. I paraphrased.

Ok, for most of the day, I was kind of on fire. I understood what we were doing. Javascript seemed easy... And I was exceptionally pleased to see the return of curly braces surround parts of a function, if statement, for loop, while loop AND semi-colons! Yes, it's these bits of punctuation and whatever designation curly braces are that make me happy.

I even told my advisor, Katie, that I was having a great time. I was confident and just really pleased.

And then, I tried to do exercise 5. I cannot get the html file and the javascript file to work together well. I'm missing something major. And I honestly do not know what it is I'm missing. I am so very frustrated and annoyed. I even took to twitter to complain... And facebook.

I'm trying to figure it out now and I just can't seem to get it to work. I keep getting null objects. WHY?????

Here's a purple dragon for you... yes, it's just the same as the other dragons, but he's purple and he's my new Github avatar.

oh, at least I can now read the HTML code that drives what content I show in this blog... Small victories.
