It’s time for the other horizontal dance, now known a HT5.0. I hated the old layout, but I was new to CSS and MT and all that, and the plan was to get some form of layout up so I could get on with actual content. That plan sucked.
Vanilla Ice took what he learned on the street, and he improved on it. The Internet’s a damn big street, so I just took what I learned from where the heart is and went from there. All CSS, seems to work in most browsers, and could someone please tell me why Netscape 4.7 ignores the width on every entry other than the first? I had to use inline styles for the stuff on the left too. Very annoying.
Other news, did the Sporting Life 10K today. My first run since the last race a month ago, but it looks like my leg will still work tomorrow, so that’s a nice change. I took a bit of a hit from the month of non-running (kept at the gym though), but I think what I lost the most was my sense of pacing. Results are here, but I didn’t enter as Senor Thrust, so use whois if you really care yet don’t know me.
It looks like my laptop battery is dead, in a non-renewable sense. I’m not sure if the fact that it’s my work laptop makes this fact better or worse, since it’s an older model that’s not supported anymore, and I don’t want to buy a new one. I’d like an iBook or PowerBook, but my budget is strained at the moment. Any comments on how X runs on the older G3 notebooks?
My shopping did include a 128 meg card for the camera. At the lowest resolution, I can store over 800 images. Of course, when I can fit 155 big pictures, why look back? The justification for this was funny. My Minolta doesn’t work with OS X, so I was geared up to buy the $100 LaCie Hexa whatzit reader that can handle a whole whack of card types, even though I only need CompactFlash. For some reason this was preferred over the $40 SanDisk CF reader. Probably the formats, and I seem to have a bunch of LaCie stuff already. I saw Black’s had a deal where the reader was only $20 if you buy a 128 meg card with it. That works out to $150, so I translated this into “I get the card reader and only spend $50 for a 128 meg card”, rather than the more logical “I just spent $110 more than I needed for a memory card when my 64 meg card hasn’t ever been full”. This means I must take many photos.
I was planning on going to work today, but that’s a really dumb idea, so I’ll nap instead.
