The Dreaded DIVs

May 21st, 2012

You know what I really dislike?

Well, you probably guessed it from the title…

DIVs.

Yeah. You’re supposed to use DIVs now for design and layout of websites, instead of using tables.

You’re only supposed to use tables for data and stuff like that, not design.

Unfortunately, DIVs cannot do everything tables can. And, even simulating a table using the display property doesn’t mean that it will actually display like a table will.

Just seems to me sometimes that DIVs aren’t ready for “prime time.” If you’re supposed to use them instead of tables, they should be able to do everything a table can do, which, apparently, they can’t.


Blogger, Blogger, Wherefore Art Thou, Blogger

Where, oh where, have all the bloggers gone?

Where, oh where, could they be?

It just seems to me that a lot of the people that were blogging heavily back when I got started and afterwards just aren’t around anymore.

Very sad. Guess they’re all drinking the Facebook Kool-Aid these days…

Yet Another Thoughtless Thursday

When Thoughtless Thursday rolls around and I need to come up with a blog post, do you know what I like to do about it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exactly.

Mushrooms in 3D Redux

May 16th, 2012

So, short of ideas, I went to look up what, if any, photo I posted a year ago.

Well, none.

But, I did post a photo on May 8th of last year, and this being May 16th, that’s only half or eight days difference, which is close enough.

Anyway, what it was was a stereographic image of mushrooms. (”Mushrooms in 3D!“)

Stereographic images are interesting and weird at the same time. They are sort of three-dimensional, but only from a still shot perspective. So, when you look at it, it’s like you could look around it, as you would if you were actually standing there, but you can’t. It’s just sort of strange. You get the feel of 3D without being 3D.

Take a look for yourself:

Stereograph of Mushrooms

This is the type of image where you need to be the right distance from the screen and then cross your eyes to see the image. It may take a couple attempts if you’ve not done this before.

Meanderings on the Scantness of What Could Be Identified as Such

May 14th, 2012

I wonder what is the minimal amount of meandering I could post here and still have it considered to be a proper blog post, which would mean I would have to post something in order to post the minimal amount, and that last bit didn’t make sense but I’m going to keep on going because that’s what I do and if I didn’t do it, then you might not know it’s me who wrote it and, if I didn’t write it, you would be wondering who did and then I would get on and wonder too because who else can get into my blog and why would anyone want to do so and who would be so foolish as to want to get on this blog and actually post something halfway sensible, because that would stick out like a sore thumb on this blog, and that makes you wonder how much a sore thumb really does stick out because, unless it’s cut, swollen or otherwise injured, you can’t tell by looking that someone has a sore thumb, unless they are trying to use it, but other than that, the thumb could be in great pain but you wouldn’t know it to look at it, unless they are grasping their thumb and saying “Ow! Ow! Ow!” or something akin to that while doing so, because pain is not always readily apparent, and by that I mean you cannot tell by looking, generally speaking, if someone has a headache, unless they are rubbing their head or something, but if they were just reclining in a chair, you wouldn’t know if they were suffering from a headache or just napping, unless, again, as previously indicated, they are making some outward display of their suffering, and, with that, I think I can draw this post to a close because I’m pretty sure that, while short, this has not been minimalist and, thus, failing on that point, it is time to simply stop.
