“Use HTML tables, Luke! Leave CSS and join the Dark Side!”
“You must, Luke!”
“Never! I use CSS … and only CSS!”
“Luke… I am your father.”
“NNOOOO!!!! That’s impossibuuuuhlll!!!”
(Variable-width boxes with graphical borders sure are hard to manage in CSS, I tell you. I’m holding off using tables for as long as I can. But I may soon need the Power of the Force.)
Oh, now here’s something out of the ordinary: someone from Ang Dating Daan seems to be mad at me. (Thanks for the note, Cornelius! :)
Just for the record, I’m not one of the Bereans; I just offered them a domain and hosting space. I’m not “Justyn” or “abuGian,” but I do praise God for the wonderful work they’re doing witnessing to the truth of the Word.
Interesting point for discussion among the more rational Reformed Christians: because Jesus used the words “hypocrites, fools, liars, and brood of vipers,” does that give the Christian witness the right to call people by such names as well? Food for thought… ;)
A couple of drawings I doodled on my Palm today. To make these, I used Diddle, a freeware drawing app for PalmOS, and a screenshot hack to capture the drawings and convert them to GIF format on my PC.
(I haven’t drawn a “furry” since college!)
Early this morning, I had a vivid dream. I was talking to my niece (whom I had just talked to in real life over lunch with my folks that day), counseling her over relationship problems. I ended by giving her a quick hug (don’t know why; I’ve never hugged any of my relatives), and going up by myself to an apartment.
Along the way, my teeth started falling out painlessly, one by one, and I had to spit them into my hand as they came loose. Soon, I had a whole cupped hand full of fallen teeth. Panicked, I looked in the mirror to see what was left — and they were all still there. Then I woke up, and checked, and all 32 of them (wisdom teeth included) were indeed still there.
Strange. Dream Doctor says falling teeth mean anxiety about appearance.
What is the significance, I wonder, of that mockup TV sitting beside the up-escalator in Greenbelt Mall, showing a continuously looping video of a young man walking in the opposite direction of a moving escalator, viewed from above?
My first reaction upon seeing it was to look around for a camera directly over any of the escalators in the mall. Not finding any, I concluded that it was some sort of avant-garde plug for an artsy local movie.
Anyone have clues?
I’ve joined the CSS-Discuss mailing list. I also received a belated Christmas present: The O’reilly Definitive Guide to XHTML/HTML. Now I have a good formal reference to review, and I’m looking forward to an educational experience.
Phooning! Makes me want to phoon too. (Link via BWG via Krisalis.)
Ah. I’ve finished all my banking chores, and I was fortunate enough to catch our currency exchange rate on a strong day. Now I’m blogging from a cafe in Makati, moderating my forums on PEX. After all the dial-up trouble I’ve been having at home, it’s nice to browse at a moderately fast speed without regular timeouts, disconnections, and unrefreshed ISP-caching.
I’m currently listening to The King’s Singers Madrigal History Tour. What a delightful little collection! The French and English madrigals are especially exquisite, and these guys sing Janequin’s La Guerre even better than the Janequin Ensemble themselves. Their La, la, la, la, je ne l’ose dire is also a pleasant listen, even at only 42 seconds long. If you’re a fan of madrigals or the King’s Singers, I highly recommend this CD. Excellent purchase.

And keep praying for those Burnhams!
I’ve deleted my how now, brownpau? blog from Blogger. Now, there is no turning back.
(But I’m not leaving Blogger completely; I do have a few other blogs there, after all.)
