the abyss means...

(This entry got a bit long. I really ought to curtail my ramblings.)

It appears that I have Leuschke's blessing for this distraction / undertaking / venture / insta-monkey (delete as appropriate)...

Mazel Tov! --Leuschke

That's made me happy. Hopefully my comments box will have plenty of luck for the future and will inform me about many exciting things...

Hm, maybe I should get one of these for my page.

I seem to remember thinking the same thing. It is a great idea. However, if you do decide to you would need to allow for the impressive number of people that mistake it for a search box...

So does this go into an email, or an instant-messenger-message, or an SMS, or is it just dumped to a file? Or printed to a printer? Or read aloud at great volume by a harsh computerised voice?

The actual box is just a simple form which sends the comments to me by email, but unfortunately the Wheezy Weasel Vocaliser (WWV) is currently not working on my computer, so I have to read them out to myself. (I suppose I could get away with claiming I was talking to the cat...)

I'm just not hi-tech I suppose. But then that fact is probably shown by this style issue:

Hmm, already-visited links in James's postings are invisible...

Yup. I know. It's annoying. I haven't bothered to sort out a different set of link colours for links within the blockquote tags yet. I had been leaving sorting out my main stylesheet until I did the much needed redesign, but maybe I ought to fix a few things. Maybe tomorrow. (Of course that's what I always say...)

Talking of my stylesheets...

Your "Alternate Style Sheets are available" sidebar bit doesn't seem to have any links at the moment, either...

Ah. Well. I gave up. You can only change the stylesheets if you are using a version of Mozilla or Netscape which has the Use Style option. So, although the stylesheets are available, they are not accessible... Perhaps I ought to rethink my options, before I do something bad...

stylesheet

Yup. That's what I was talking about. I suppose you want me to try again with that switcher do you? Agh. Aaaaargh. One last try can't hurt I suppose. Maybe tomorrow.

Still obsessed with the subject of style, someone queries:

What *is* that strange stained-glass picture above this box...?

Ah. That would be telling. Ok then. I'll tell you. It's a variant of this. There is also a big one here. From my point of view it is better than these, which is enough.

Did that help?

Jorge

Hmm. I suppose that could be taken as a 'Yes'. But. I suspect it is more likely to be referring to that Jean / Jorge mistake. I have to admit I missed it when I read the posting, but a fair few people spotted it. Thanks all.

I'm sure it was a deliberate attempt to test the readership, but, either way hecticjames has dealt with it.

Changing the subject to our British topic of choice:

No snow today, then, after all. Bah.

No, but the Downs were beautiful and white this morning. I almost wanted to go walking. And I didn't crash the car due to snow or ice.

It would be nice to have enough snow to go sledging though. That would make a nice day.

But not on a Tuesday. (Of course, at the moment, every day is a Tuesday for me...)

tuesdays suxxor

Wednesdays do too. And Thursdays! (I never could get the hang of them.) Let's hope for lots of snow on Friday, shall we?

OK. So who wants to redesign my site for me?
