know your brightness and saturation levels
Today's quote of the day:
ME
I'm going to trash the whole
web journal thing and just
send out my entries in e-mail.
FERNANDO
Back to the way things used to
be, huh?
Running news:
None today.
I didn't go running today, but I'm getting enough exercise.
Had my daily design chat with Fernando. I shift things around, upload them, and get his feedback. Which is why, if you were to continually load my page during these chats, you'd see incremental changes in the design, followed by sweeping changes as I implement the changes on (gulp) every single page.
(Darin says he's going to automate the generation of my pages. Cool.)
One of the big changes today: changing the font designations from "Courier" to "Courier New," which in my estimation is an inferior font (on the Macintosh, at any rate). However, "Courier" is evidently inferior on PCs. I'm seriously thinking about doing what Ceej used to do: setting the font to be "Symbol" for Windows users. I have been talked out of this.
One of the things Fernando and I discussed was how different the pages look in Explorer versus Navigator. You wouldn't think simple HTML commands could be interpreted so radically differently...but you'd be wrong.
And evidently the split between the two is just going to keep getting wider, leading web designers of the world to a)put up at least two versions of every page or b)ignore one browser altogether. If I know my web designers/programmers/others, I know which way it's going to go.
I wish the Department of Justice would wallop Microsoft already. This has gone on long enough.
I talked to Linda for, like, forever this afternoon. We haven't gabbed like that for a while.
I told her I was rewriting my Thesis Script and I wanted to run the rewritten first sequence by her soon. "First sequence?" she said, slightly horrified. "How much of a rewrite are you doing?"
"From page 5," I told her. That's my idea of a rewrite. Get in there and haul things out wholesale.
I'm only on page 8 (having, yes, started on page 5). I'm going to have lots of time to myself next week; I should do the vast quantities of writing I'm going to need to do then. This week I should concentrate on the tweaks to the Rewrite Script that Len suggested.
"God said this is the way to live."
The Executive Director and Treasurer of the Southern Baptists of Oklahoma on NPR's All Things Considered about the resolution passed at the Southern Baptist congress that "a woman should 'submit herself graciously' to her husband's leadership and a husband should "provide for, protect and lead his family."
I can't remember who said this (or how it was said, exactly), but you can always tell that God is a man-made construct when He just happens to agree with everything that the believer does.
