Quickies

Stuff on the Spam Conference.

It's a bird, it's a plane: "There, are you satisfied that I am smart enough to know how bad Smallville is? Good, now I can tell you why I watch it."

Oliver: Hypocrisy:

What is it about religious people that God hates the most? Ungratefulness? Gossip? Lack of compassion? Yes, God hates all those things, but I believe the one thing that God hates the most in religious people is hypocrisy.

AOL sucks. I don't know why anyone would even consider signing up with AOL today.

A couple of years ago I broke down and installed one of those get a month of AOL free disks. Called and cancelled to days later. I explained that the service was not worth what I was paying (nothing).

The Simpsons: 2 more years!

Blech. I almost wish the Simpsons had quit while they were ahead.

I've always wondered what 'almost wished' actually means.

"Almost", because they have put out some decent episodes over the past few years (even though most seems to have been crap), so it's better that the world has those few episodes. Also, because we know that FOX (curse that name!) wouldn't have put anything better on anyway, because all they seem to put on now is CRAP!!! Aaaaaah, I'm still bitter! Sniff... sniff... <tears swelling up>

What?! 'That 70's Show' is one of the best shows on the tube today--FOX (praise thy glorious name!) seems to have its finger on the staple of the universe to me. Smiley PS--your right-hand comments/search bar is all weird (too wide) now. PPS--when you preview a comment, you should bring us to the bottom of the page where our potential-comments actually are.

I think I'd trade that 70's show for Firefly, though that would be a pretty tough choice. That 70's show is great though.

And yeah, I changed the way the recent comments wrap on the right side. If you wrap it at a fixed width, it looks weird when the browser window gets small. If you let the browser do it, then it can look good, unless someone puts some long non-wrapping text in the beginning of their comment. So... I may have to write a custom function that will only break up "words" longer than a given width, and not wrap in general. It looks better in Mozilla/Phoenix than it does in IE, btw.

As for the comment preview, I agree, it's been something I've been wanting to add for awhile. But I've put most all changes or upgrades to my site on hold and will change things when I start using my CMS. I consider my current code "legacy" and don't want to change anything except to fix bugs.
