  <title>Some deductions are full of fail.</title>
  <author>lrfcbb@yahoo.com.au</author>  <link>http://cheloya.insanejournal.com/444352.html</link>
  <description>So I deduced, when I woke up properly about an hour and a half ago, that because the house was quiet and the air-conditioning was still on, it was probably about 9.30am and I could safely lie in bed reading for a little while without arousing anyone&apos;s wrath until my mother got home from her usual coffee shop jaunt around ten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turns out it was not about 9.30am, it was about 11am, and James had been supposed to get me up and tell me that we were headed to see Oopee and so I should get cleaning and also get ready to come along!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Completely ignoring that a) none of this had been mentioned the night before (as usual), and b) I had already mentioned that I had plans for early afternoon which did not involve being at Labrador.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day, my mother will listen to &lt;i&gt;anything I say at all&lt;/i&gt;. I don&apos;t care if it&apos;s &apos;I have already washed those&apos; or &apos;that is a poisonous snake&apos; - anything would do at this point. *facemash*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, so James is in trouble for not waking me up earlier, and I am in trouble for not psychically deducing that this Saturday would not be exactly like all Saturdays before it. This is what I get for being lulled into a routine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In any case, things to do in the next few hours before Dad gets back to me about travelling to the distant reaches of Mt. Crosby:&lt;br /&gt;- vacuum downstairs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strike&gt;- finish cleaning bathroom&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- work up the nerve to use corrosive chemicals on the sink (Drano makes me fear for my hands and eyes, okay?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strike&gt;- dry sheets&lt;br /&gt;- wash darks&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- hang darks&lt;br /&gt;- wash towels&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strike&gt;- pack small bag to take to Dad&apos;s place&lt;br /&gt;- do NOT play Mario Kart&lt;br /&gt;- do NOT sit around mooning over realestate.com&lt;br /&gt;- do NOT watch The Road to El Dorado&lt;br /&gt;- also do not take it to Dad&apos;s with you or you will never get it back from the children (I am an excellent big sister, I don&apos;t know what you&apos;re talking about)&lt;br /&gt;- write NaNo only in ten minute blocks between chores&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[EDIT] Also, man, I had the weirdest combination of dreams last night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;x-posted from &lt;a href=&quot;http://cheloya.dreamwidth.org/442674.html&quot;&gt;http://cheloya.dreamwidth.org/442674.html&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=cheloya&amp;amp;ditemid=442674&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot; /&gt; comments</description>

  <title>From work to work. :|</title>

  <description>&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;html&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      The html element surrounds your entire .html file - it lets your web browser&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      know that everything within the html element is part of the information that&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      goes into the webpage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!-- --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      You use these marks (less-than, exclamation point, hyphen, hyphen)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      to open a comment. Comments are invisible when the page is&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      actually rendered in a web browser - you won&apos;t be able to see this text&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      when the page loads. You use the marks below (hyphen, hyphen, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      greater-than) to close them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      For the record, I recommend spacing your code like this - it makes it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      much easier to read and much less confusing if you&apos;re not used to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      reading it. The spaces don&apos;t turn up in the finished website, but you do&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      need to make sure that you don&apos;t insert any extra spaces in elements&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      themselves - comment tags like this are the exception because their&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      code is not actually parsed by the web browser while it &apos;renders&apos;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      your page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;head&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      The head element contains your website&apos;s basic properties, like the ID3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      tags in an MP3 file. This information isn&apos;t part of the page&apos;s display&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      within the browser window, but it does have some external data -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      like what is rendered in the &apos;title&apos; bar of your window.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;title&amp;gt;Gambaro&apos;s @ Emporium - Market Fresh Seafood Every Day&amp;lt;/title&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      The title element does just that - defines the text that will appear in the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      title bar of your browser. If you open this file in Internet Explorer or&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Firefox, you&apos;ll see this text right up the top. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Most elements must be opened and closed. &amp;lt;open&amp;gt; can be closed with&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      the &amp;lt;/open&amp;gt; element - the slash tells the browser that this is the end of&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      the information associated with that particular element.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/head&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;body link=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot; alink=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot; vlink=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot; text=&quot;#3a383a&quot; topmargin=&quot;100&quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      This is where it starts to get complicated. :) The base element here is&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      body - it&apos;s right at the front. The rest of the text in the element are the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      properties that belong to that element.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Properties modify the behaviour of the base element in some way - so&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      you can probably tell that this element specifies something different&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      about the link, alink, vlink, text, and topmargin properties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      link, alink, and vlink all relate to the colour of the text in a link tag.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Colours in HTML can be represented either with base colours&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      (red, white, blue, etc.) or with hexadecimal code, which is what &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      that scary-looking #FFFFFF is about. If you open this page in a&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      browser, you can see from the top bar in the table that all the links&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      are white - or #FFFFFF. (You could safely replace each &quot;#FFFFFF&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      with &quot;white&quot; and it wouldn&apos;t do a thing to your website.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      If you can&apos;t tell what I&apos;m talking about, try replacing &quot;#FFFFFF&quot; with&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &quot;red&quot;. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      As you can probably see from the other pages, the links aren&apos;t &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      always white everywhere. This is because we&apos;ve specified other &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      color properties elsewhere! I&apos;ll point them out as you read through&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      the code.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Another thing to look out for is that all tags have US spelling. :( So&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      there are color properties instead of colour properties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      text defines the colour of any text in the body that is not a link or&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      otherwise specified - in this case, dark grey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      topmargin specifies the number of pixels that should go between&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      the top of the web browser and whatever comes next - basically&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      it inserts a hundred pixel high no-go zone at the top of the page,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      which is why the blue bar doesn&apos;t sit right at the top of the page. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Try changing this value to 0, or 300, instead of 100 to see what I mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;table height=&quot;600&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; valign=&quot;middle&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      And one more complex again - this is a table, just like the ones in&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Excel that you probably do some spreadsheeting in. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      The great thing about tables is that they do not always have to be &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      visible. This page will make a lot more sense, structurally, if you &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      change that border value up there to border=&quot;5&quot; and refresh in&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      your browser - see all the boxes formed by the lines? Those are&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      the cells in THIS table. There are other tables within those cells&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      that help to make the rest of the page look pretty and aligned. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      height is defined in pixels, in this case 600 of them. This is the &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      difference in pixels between the top of the top cell and the bottom&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      of the bottom cell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      width can also be defined in pixels, but in this case is 100% of &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      browser width.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      align is the horizontal alignment of the table&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      valign is the vertical alignment of the table&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      cellspacing and cellpadding are basically buffers within each &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      cell that stop the content from starting at the very first pixel - this &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      can really make pages look cramped. This particular table &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      doesn&apos;t need buffers because it is usually invisible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      border, as you&apos;ve seen, defines the border between cells. I&apos;d&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      set this one back to &quot;0&quot; once you&apos;ve read through the whole template.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;tr height=&quot;50&quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Tables are coded one row at a time, and tr defines the row.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      height is in pixels, but can be a percentage&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;td width=&quot;15%&quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Helpfully, td defines a cell. I don&apos;t know what they were thinking, either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      This one is empty because it defines the blank space to the left of that&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      top blue bar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      width is a percentage, but can be in pixels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;td width=&quot;300&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#034168&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      This cell has a few more properties - a specific width, a background colour&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      and a specific alignment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &amp;lt;font face=&quot;Tahoma, Arial, Trebuchet MS, Verdana&quot; size=&quot;2&quot; color=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      font element defines things about the font used on the website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      face is probably what you&apos;re used to thinking about as the font type - the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      name of the font. But these in &quot;double quotes&quot; - as you can see, you can&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      put multiple options in the same set of double quotes as long as you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      separate them with commas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      size goes from 1 to 5 - smallest, small, medium, large, and largest respectively&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      color you know ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;#149; &amp;lt;a href=&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gambaroatemporium.com.au/index.htm&quot;&gt;http://www.gambaroatemporium.com.au/index.htm&lt;/a&gt;&quot;&amp;gt;HOME&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; &amp;#149 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Some objects are defined universally - &amp;nbsp; and &amp;#149; are two of these.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &amp;nbsp; is recognised by web browsers as &quot;blank space&quot; - you can write &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; where you&apos;d put two spaces in this text document, and they&apos;ll&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      actually show up as spaces in the browser.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &amp;#149; is a unicode element (which is why it needs the # and the number)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      and represents the largish dot you will see separating each menu item.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      The &amp;lt;a&amp;gt; element is most commonly used as &amp;lt;a href=&quot;url&quot;&amp;gt;text&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      This is a hyperlink that references &quot;url&quot; and displays &quot;text&quot; as a clickable&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      link in the web browser. So this one is going to show up as &quot;HOME&quot; on&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      the site itself, and it&apos;s going to look for the page located at:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gambaroatemporium.com.au/index.htm&quot;&gt;http://www.gambaroatemporium.com.au/index.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Our home page!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      The closing tag for the font element. This means that anything after this&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      tag does NOT have the stuff in the font element applied to it. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      And the close tag for the second cell&apos;s element.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;td width=&quot;*&quot; valign=&quot;middle&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#034168&quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!-- Another cell. * is a wildcard - in width, it means &apos;all remaining space&apos;. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &amp;lt;font face=&quot;Tahoma, Arial, Trebuchet MS, Verdana&quot; size=&quot;2&quot; color=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;#149; &amp;lt;a href=&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gambaroatemporium.com.au/location.html&quot;&gt;http://www.gambaroatemporium.com.au/location.html&lt;/a&gt;&quot;&amp;gt;LOCATION&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; &amp;#149; &amp;lt;a href=&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gambaroatemporium.com.au/menu.html&quot;&gt;http://www.gambaroatemporium.com.au/menu.html&lt;/a&gt;&quot;&amp;gt;MENU&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; &amp;#149; &amp;lt;a href=&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gambaroatemporium.com.au/catering.html&quot;&gt;http://www.gambaroatemporium.com.au/catering.html&lt;/a&gt;&quot;&amp;gt;CATERING&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; &amp;#149; &amp;lt;a href=&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gambaroatemporium.com.au/extras.html&quot;&gt;http://www.gambaroatemporium.com.au/extras.html&lt;/a&gt;&quot;&amp;gt;EXTRAS&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; &amp;#149; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      If that doesn&apos;t confuse you, I don&apos;t know what will. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      It looks like a mess, but it&apos;s the same thing over and over - &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      a dot, and a hyperlink. The last one has more blank spaces&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      following it because my table buffer wasn&apos;t thick enough to &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      make it look pretty.  ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;td width=&quot;15%&quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!-- Another empty cell to take up the rest of the row. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!-- And the closing tag for the first row element. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!-- The second row. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;td width=&quot;15%&quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!-- Empty cell. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;td width=&quot;300&quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &amp;lt;img src=&quot;images/leftbanner298by600.jpg&quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      This cell is the one with the picture in it - leftbanner298by600.jpg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      The img element requires a src property that defines the location&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      of the image. In this case, the web browser is going to look for the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      image &quot;leftbanner298by600.jpg&quot; in the &quot;images&quot; folder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Because your web browser is going to look one directory below the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      current page for the images, you need to make sure that the images&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      directory is called &quot;images&quot;, and that it sits along side your .html files.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;td width=&quot;*&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!-- This is a cell opening... --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!-- And the next tag is another table! This is called &apos;nesting&apos; -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      think of it like those Russian dolls. This table sits inside the &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      first one, like the small babushka sits inside a larger one. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      This table is the panel of text you&apos;ll see in your rendered page. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;table height=&quot;*&quot; width=&quot;*&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;50&quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &amp;lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!-- the &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; element marks a paragraph. You can do all sorts&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    of things with paragraphs, as you&apos;ll see from some of the &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    other pages. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       &amp;lt;font face=&quot;Tahoma, Arial, Trebuchet MS, Verdana&quot; size=&quot;2&quot; color=&quot;#3a383a&quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        &amp;lt;!-- Another font definition, which specifies how the text in the paragraph will appear. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THIS IS WHERE YOUR CONTENT GOES! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/table&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!-- That is the end of the table that contains your content.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      If you look at a few of the other pages, you&apos;ll be able to see&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      how I&apos;ve modified this section to get things to change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Short of learning more about HTML, I&apos;d just copy the contents&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      of a page that you think looks more or less the same, and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      replace the content. Now that you know what counts as code&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      and what doesn&apos;t, that should be fairly simple.  --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!-- The closing tag of the cell containing the nested table. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;td width=&quot;15%&quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!-- Empty cell --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!-- The end of the second row. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;-- These tags are the final row of the table - two empty cells and the blue bar across the bottom. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;tr height=&quot;25&quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;td width=&quot;15%&quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;td width=&quot;300&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#034168&quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;td width=&quot;*&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#034168&quot; align=&quot;right&quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &amp;lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;1&quot; color=&quot;#b0bdce&quot;&amp;gt;page design &amp;#169; laura bailey ; l4.bailey@gmail.com &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;td width=&quot;15%&quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/tr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;-- The end of the final row. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/table&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!-- The end of the table. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/body&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      This is the closing tag for the body element. A little further, aaaand....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &amp;lt;!-- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      The last tag! :) Well done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      For the record, when you&apos;re writing a page from scratch, it&apos;s usually&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      safer to open and close an element at the same time, and then go&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      back and fill in the contents of the tag later - it keeps things &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      structurally sound and prevents you from forgetting to close the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      element later. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/html&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if that pre element doesn&apos;t work in IJ/DW, I will be Angry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[EDIT] OF COURSE THE FUCKING PRE TAGS DON&apos;T WORK. JHDFJDH&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[EDIT]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um, yes, and aside from getting carried away with teaching a client&apos;s new website maintainer how to code (*facemash*) today was pretty awesome. Rage bought me XKCD t-shirts, which I am struggling not to wear until Monday. I am really damn tired. I didn&apos;t get to finish everything today because I discovered that I was being asked for things that I didn&apos;t have and have to ask Isaac about on Monday before the training course. Sigh. So much for a late start. Oh well. Still going pretty well. And rediscovering a love for this song that... okay, never really went away. But anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;x-posted from &lt;a href=&quot;http://cheloya.dreamwidth.org/442559.html&quot;&gt;http://cheloya.dreamwidth.org/442559.html&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=cheloya&amp;amp;ditemid=442559&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot; /&gt; comments</description>

  <description>How &apos;bout that? Go, Dreamwidth. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today:&lt;br /&gt;- Finished all the work I want to finish for the QE doc bundle due tomorrow. :D Will move on to my (suspiciously MIA) minion&apos;s assorted duties tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;strike&gt;Bewildered and alarmed&lt;/strike&gt; Dazzled and amazed with my eloquent hand-gesture dance.&lt;br /&gt;- Fixed the rest of my F-11 installation, which broke my inbox in the night.&lt;br /&gt;- Made it out of dependency hell with the assistance of Rudi and Jeff. \o/ I really, really need that Linux Essentials course next week. &amp;gt;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Made an epic tactical error by telling Susan to keep up with my NaNo count. Watch as she proceeds to &lt;i&gt;wipe the floor with me&lt;/i&gt;. XD No, seriously, I&apos;m dead. Only my insomnia will save me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am pretty sure I will never know everything I want or need to know, and this makes me sad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was considering &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherlock_holmes#Knowledge_and_skills&quot;&gt;the abilities of Holmes as listed by Watson&lt;/a&gt; earlier and thinking, well, at least he&apos;d worked out what he needed to know to do what he wanted to do, and set about achieving that knowledge. By the time he&apos;s, say, twenty-five, he&apos;s already refining that knowledge further and taking it in new and interesting directions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not that I&apos;m expecting to be like Holmes, but I am finding that being genuinely interested in pretty much everything makes it incredibly difficult to pick a direction and be satisfied with it. And it&apos;s not that I do not love, love, love writing down to my bones, because I do. Giving myself permission to &lt;i&gt;write&lt;/i&gt; and to concentrate on writing for the duration of November is more of a relief than removing &lt;a href=&quot;http://imagecache.asos.com/inv/S/5/142/467803/image3xl.jpg&quot;&gt;your ridiculous but awesome high heels&lt;/a&gt;. (I mean that. My big toe is still raw from these fuckers, but they are awesome. I do not usually feel this way about shoes, let alone shoes that hurt me.) It&apos;s rewarding in and of itself - fiction and nonfiction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But being in this job has really recalled that, actually, I really enjoyed programming. I&apos;d barely touched a toe to the tip of the iceberg, mind you, but I am &lt;i&gt;genuinely interested&lt;/i&gt; and I just do not have the time to act upon that interest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really love drawing and painting, too. And the violin, and the keyboard, and maths, and physics, and biology, and singing, and videogames, and sleeping, and cooking, and... do you see what I&apos;m getting at, here? The need to get better at these things that I regularly enjoy is incredibly frustrating because I just do not have the time to give all of these things the attention that I want to give them. I just &lt;i&gt;really love things&lt;/i&gt;. Lots of things. All the time. And it&apos;s annoying as fuck that there is really only time to give maybe two of them adequate attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This post brought to you by random musings on satisfaction and a conversation about generalists vs. specialists a few days ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now I am going to make tea and write NaNo and &lt;i&gt;certainly not watch Zombieland&lt;/i&gt; because that would let Susan get even further ahead of me &lt;i&gt;and we cannot have that&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;x-posted from &lt;a href=&quot;http://cheloya.dreamwidth.org/441468.html&quot;&gt;http://cheloya.dreamwidth.org/441468.html&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=cheloya&amp;amp;ditemid=441468&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot; /&gt; comments</description>

  <description>So I had to upgrade to Fedora 11 today to support Publican 1.0. T_T MORE TEARS WERE NEVER SHED OVER AN OPERATING SYSTEM. I am very sad. And probably destined to hate Fedora until another version hits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would just like to tell you all that Glee can suck my nonexistent cock. You call that Defying Gravity? PFFFHAH. I laugh in your general direction and mock your lack of diaphragmatic power. And your harmonies. What the fuck were those chords? Way to fucking baby down the song. And remove the climax. What were you &lt;i&gt;thinking&lt;/i&gt;, Glee producers? Guys? No, it&apos;s a serious question - what the &lt;i&gt;fuck&lt;/i&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah. This would be &apos;annoy the neighbours&apos; mode. Sorry for the loud night in, folks, but you do this to me Friday through Sunday, so I think you can bite me. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;x-posted from &lt;a href=&quot;http://cheloya.dreamwidth.org/440928.html&quot;&gt;http://cheloya.dreamwidth.org/440928.html&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=cheloya&amp;amp;ditemid=440928&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot; /&gt; comments</description>

  <description>So I just found my resolutions for this year. LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) I will exercise.&lt;br /&gt;2) I will finish F&amp;F.&lt;br /&gt;3) I will teach myself CSS.&lt;br /&gt;4) I will make myself an online folio.&lt;br /&gt;5) I will write, and publish my writing.&lt;br /&gt;6) I will learn to say &apos;no&apos;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strike&gt;7) I will put away at least one third of my pay each week and not touch it.&lt;br /&gt;8) If I am not writing, I will read.&lt;br /&gt;9) ...or play video games.&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10) I will be punctual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strike&gt;11) I will participate in NaNoMango with &lt;span lj:user=&quot;kuchibue&quot; style=&quot;white-space: nowrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://kuchibue.dreamwidth.org/profile&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&quot; alt=&quot;[info - personal] &quot; width=&quot;17&quot; height=&quot;17&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://kuchibue.dreamwidth.org/&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;kuchibue&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and reward her for her participation with this year&apos;s NaNovel.&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think we call this year a write-off. XD I did attain some awesome things I did not write down, though, so it&apos;s not as bad as all that. STILL. LOL, #1-6. ...although technically I guess #5 I did, since, y&apos;know, doc writer. &amp;gt;_&amp;gt; I published my writing today, after all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, today was not awful - things are still going alarmingly well as far as the project goes, and everything should be available tomorrow morning. I will be unutterably relieved to get rid of this thing, though the next is really no better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I get to pick my new desk on Friday. Have no idea where I would like to be. Probably facing a window so that I don&apos;t get glare on my monitors, because that drives me bugfuck, but aside from that I really do not know. We&apos;re all on a training course next week, and after an early meeting tomorrow I&apos;m starting work on a new project. We need to have stuff bundled off to QE by Friday, though. At least this means they can QE stuff pretty thoroughly over the week my team is being taught how to not use our Linux boxes as toasters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, must go. Word war begins very shortly. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[EDIT] And I am all out of Holmes to watch. ;_; My heart. It is breaking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;%%url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Original&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;a href=&quot;%%reply-url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Comment&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=cheloya&amp;amp;ditemid=440447&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot; /&gt;</description>

  <author>lrfcbb@yahoo.com.au</author>  <link>http://cheloya.insanejournal.com/441532.html</link>
  <description>Currently:&lt;br /&gt;- cooking dinner&lt;br /&gt;- babysitting dragonforce #1&lt;br /&gt;- babysitting minor!dragonforce #2 (2-5, really, but I don&apos;t want to push my luck with CVS)&lt;br /&gt;- writing NaNo&lt;br /&gt;- folding washing&lt;br /&gt;- formulating tomorrow&apos;s todo list&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try fitting all that in your Facebook status coherently, though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything is going pretty well as far as the work stuff goes... the second third is being jammed up CVS&apos;s proverbial, courtesy of the fabulous dragonforce script, and I think the whole process should be done by the time I usually leave for work in the morning. (Though with the password thing, I may need to stay up and make sure that the permissions will last that long.) I&apos;d stay home tomorrow to make up for the whole weekend thing and get some decent sleep, but unfortunately I still have to do the final third and confirm that the first third actually made it up before I go prodding helpdesk with pointy objects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mum is back from the coast, which is pretty much why I bothered to cook. She&apos;s exhausted. Oopee&apos;s bleeding internally from the medication, so he&apos;s not coming out of hospital yet, and her sister&apos;s not coming home because - wait for it - she wouldn&apos;t have a car. (Her daughter is currently using her car to travel about fifteen minutes across town to get to her workplace, which would take about forty minutes on two buses. Somehow this would be too much hardship to assist a dying grandparent? As if Shelly wouldn&apos;t do that and give up the car to her mother again.) Yeah, no, Diane. Pull the other one; it&apos;s got bells on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dinner has been retrieved from the oven and I should probably make sure my mother actually eats instead of lying prone on the couch before she crawls to bed, so that&apos;s that for the time being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[EDIT] Oh, and Wyrren came past for an hour or so this afternoon! ^^ It was really good to see her again, even though I spent half of our conversation rattling away at release notes. I&apos;d missed her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;%%url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Original&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;a href=&quot;%%reply-url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Comment&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=cheloya&amp;amp;ditemid=438933&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot; /&gt;</description>

  <description>Yyyyyeah, going to have to talk to alt about this whole &apos;tuesday release with saturday qe finish&apos; thing because hint IT ISN&apos;T WORKING OUT TOO WELL FOR ME.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean, everything is going fine, but I would also like to not have to babysit Havelock through the entire process. And the VPN is slow as shit, so everything is taking about five times as long. I should really just go into work, but then I could not do the washing while I wait.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wyrren is going to drop past on her way back from town, though. :D I should maybe have brushed my hair by then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;%%url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Original&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;a href=&quot;%%reply-url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Comment&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=cheloya&amp;amp;ditemid=438620&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot; /&gt;</description>

  <description>Last night was good. Not as many people as I expected, which was a good thing given the vast horde that replied with I&apos;LL BE THERE :D. ._. I&apos;d have had a job and a half keeping up with them. Ended up with the better part of a dozen people, including Erin, whom it was very good to see again, and I think everyone now understands that my workmates are awesome based on only two examples. XD Let&apos;s not pretend I didn&apos;t tell you so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then again, the return of the creepy ex-coworker. :| Why do I attract these men? Is it my hobo-radar working overtime, or what? Can I turn it off now? &lt;strike&gt;Well, yes, by being less polite, but we all know I have difficulty with that.&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spending the vast majority of this weekend shepherding documentation through the final hurdles and getting it up online. A lot of the docs are still hideous, but the OCD cares as much about timing as quality, thank all gods, so is not twitching too much when we&apos;re so behind. Just don&apos;t expect to see a lot of me on the interwebs, unless it&apos;s for a repeat of &lt;i&gt;Build, you fucker, build&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Incidentally, I have six days to work on the next project before the docfreeze date. :) Why would you ever do this. :) Halp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;%%url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Original&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;a href=&quot;%%reply-url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Comment&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=cheloya&amp;amp;ditemid=438116&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot; /&gt;</description>

  <author>lrfcbb@yahoo.com.au</author>  <link>http://cheloya.insanejournal.com/440319.html</link>
  <description>My mother and eldest aunt have spent the last two months running themselves ragged looking after my grandparents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My grandparents have spent the last two months dying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My middle aunt and her husband have spent the last two months in Canada visiting their children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a wild guess who is trying to sound hard done by in this situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t think I can stop wanting to punch my uncle in the mouth. Because anyone who insinuates that my mother is over-exaggerating the danger when she is having to constantly tell my grandfather to live? Can go fuck ponies for popcorn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was prepared to rant about my day until I came home and heard about what this cockhead had said to my mother from his fucking Canadian holiday about &lt;i&gt;who would miss seeing his children&lt;/i&gt; here. You know who&apos;s going to miss seeing his fucking child? MY GRANDFATHER. ON HIS DEATHBED. Not that either of you selfish, vacuous FUCKHEADS are worth the effort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And no, I am NOT friends-locking this. Because I&apos;ve bitten my tongue about these morons long enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;%%url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Original&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;a href=&quot;%%reply-url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Comment&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=cheloya&amp;amp;ditemid=437690&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot; /&gt;</description>

  <author>lrfcbb@yahoo.com.au</author>  <link>http://cheloya.insanejournal.com/439808.html</link>
  <description>Started feeling quite nauseous about half past seven; I thought food would help but it really has not. I think sleep will solve the problem, but I&apos;m afraid I need to ctrl-alt-del my mind before that can happen and, well, Holmes is helping with that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got a fair bit done today, although once again not as much as I&apos;d hoped. As much as could be expected, I suppose. Wish I&apos;d organised more thorough technical reviews earlier, but that&apos;s what I get for assuming a basic sweep had been done before I started work. Certainly shan&apos;t make that mistake again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Want to get some writing done for gifts and NaNo preparation, but to be honest? Way too tired. I&apos;m not going to be very exciting on Friday night, that&apos;s for sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;%%url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Original&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;a href=&quot;%%reply-url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Comment&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=cheloya&amp;amp;ditemid=437473&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot; /&gt;</description>

  <title>Substitute Mondays.</title>
  <author>lrfcbb@yahoo.com.au</author>  <link>http://cheloya.insanejournal.com/439607.html</link>
  <description>Today was actually pretty good for a substitute Monday. Aside from the continuing drama of the moneylending, anyway, which I think is over. Dad only SMS&apos;d, thankfully, but seemed genuinely shocked that I&apos;d be so upset about not being able/willing to lend him money. -_- Clearly he does not understand how well the Catholic Guilt has worked upon my mother and I.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorted everything that needed sorting today, but actually really need to do the JBoss Messaging version release notes tomorrow. *vows* Kind of important to get this stuff done before all the tech reviews come flooding back in... and man, Thursday through Tuesday is not going to be a fun fun happy-go-lucky time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should possibly have scheduled birthday drinks for another time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should possibly have scheduled the change in internet for a different time, too, because I&apos;m sure that&apos;ll involve a service hiccup or four, but hey, it&apos;s going to be ADSL2+ and I can always go in to work on the weekend if I absolutely need to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oopee had his stent put in today, and he&apos;s still feeling pretty rotten, which is to be expected. I hope he perks up all the perking he can do pretty soon, but he&apos;s not exactly optimistic about the situation, and neither is anyone else. I maintain he cannot die of anything until he has a) taught me to speak Dutch fluently and b) told me his life story in detail so that I can pass it on. That is my story and I am sticking with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;%%url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Original&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;a href=&quot;%%reply-url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Comment&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=cheloya&amp;amp;ditemid=437239&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot; /&gt;</description>

  <title>This is clearly my girly birthday.</title>
  <author>lrfcbb@yahoo.com.au</author>  <link>http://cheloya.insanejournal.com/438365.html</link>
  <description>Gorgeous notebooks, dangly earrings, bath ballistics, perfume, and buggerall to do for the day. &amp;hearts; I think I approve of this &apos;birthday off&apos; business. Diane and John have called from Canada, but I haven&apos;t heard from Dad yet - I give him until at least eleven-thirty. ;) Which means plenty of time for a shower, breakfast, and &lt;strike&gt;deliberating over which perfume to wear first&lt;/strike&gt; who am I kidding, Crowley, obviously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I want to do some drawing today. Some actual drawing, of actual import. Possibly some profiles or something for NaNo - Lucien, the Thief, and the Golem at different ages or whatever. ...not that there&apos;s much point doing that with the Golem, but still. Will tweet if I ustream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right. Now that most of the phone calls are over with, back to my lazily scheduled day off. &amp;hearts;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[EDIT] Did I say 11.30? I meant 9am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And he called to ask for money, not to wish me happy birthday. You are so full of class, memory, and timing, father mine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;%%url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Original&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;a href=&quot;%%reply-url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Comment&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=cheloya&amp;amp;ditemid=435914&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot; /&gt;</description>

  <title>Things you shouldn&apos;t care so much about, Part II.</title>
  <author>lrfcbb@yahoo.com.au</author>  <link>http://cheloya.insanejournal.com/438140.html</link>
  <description>So I... may have spent the last hour and a half trying to master manual steering in MKWii. &amp;gt;_&amp;gt;; I just. Other people can do it. I have to be able to do it. Even if I hate the fuck out of it. I just need to get used to the physics, that&apos;s all. Manual, then wheel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey, it never hurts to have goals, right? &amp;gt;_&amp;gt;;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;Just for the hell of it, I think I&apos;m going to try to master Birdo. Because Birdo is kind of a bitch to drive, and I may as well get all my challenges out of the way at once.&lt;small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;%%url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Original&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;a href=&quot;%%reply-url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Comment&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=cheloya&amp;amp;ditemid=435522&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/small&gt;</description>

  <description>Today was pretty hideous by all accounts. Didn&apos;t make it to the kirtan. &lt;strike&gt;Wyrr&lt;/strike&gt; Wyrr&apos;s goddamn phone didn&apos;t get back to me, but it was probably for the best, because I was fighting off another ridiculous mood all afternoon. It&apos;s not gone, either, but I&apos;ve been distracting myself with half-hearted Conductor research, and the rain was nice. I&apos;ve felt exhausted since about 2pm, so I&apos;m going to bed pretty much as soon as I make it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had such peaceful dreams last night, too. Dreams about washing the dishes, mind you. XD But dreams about washing the dishes while with warm and affectionate people. And uninterrupted by drunken neighbours buzzing the apartment at 2am, which, colour me surprised.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My research pretty much revealed that my knowledge of, well, everything, is so painfully limited that half of what I thought I knew about Conductor!verse is now total AU material. Very glad I ordered such a wide range of books for further research, but given Chaz&apos;s history I need a whole swathe more. |D; To Archives! Perhaps that is what I will do on Monday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And speaking of this obscure tag, apparently we have to wear dresses at work for Melbourne Cup Day. WHAT. WHAT. D:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;%%url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Original&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;a href=&quot;%%reply-url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Comment&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=cheloya&amp;amp;ditemid=435015&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot; /&gt;</description>

  <title>I feel something celebratory is in order.</title>
  <author>lrfcbb@yahoo.com.au</author>  <link>http://cheloya.insanejournal.com/437156.html</link>
  <description>CONS:&lt;br /&gt;- Broke my Java again, and the fix is probably to rip out FOP and start again. Sigh.&lt;br /&gt;- Dad is trying to borrow money from me to finish his house. Any money I lend to my father, I would not expect see again, ever, from past experience on the matter. But the guilt, kids. The guilt will try to get me every time. Despite one notable PRO, I am far from debt-free, so this is never ever going to happen. But the fact that I am not helping when I have been asked for help kind of goes stabbystabbystabstab.&lt;br /&gt;- Was just made violently angry by people being, well, people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PROS:&lt;br /&gt;- There is currently one task awaiting my attention for this project. ONE. Everything else is someone else&apos;s problem for the week. My happiness and relief know no bounds.&lt;br /&gt;- Half my bonus payment for getting Tom hired came in tonight. Because of this, my savings have just passed the ten grand mark. All of this is going to my HECS debt, mind. But this means I am well on track to affording other, more important things. Like houses, and cats to put in them. As I planned. My lack of social life is paying off! :D&lt;br /&gt;- I am still really happy with the last thing I wrote. It was fic, and it was het, and I am happy with it, for all that I never write het any more. This is a minor miracle.&lt;br /&gt;- I had a really awesome lunch with Neek and Luke today, which I was expecting to be a little awful, actually. I&apos;d clearly forgotten how much I love talking to them both.&lt;br /&gt;- I have a long weekend ahead of me, on which I need do nothing more complex than:&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;strike&gt;a) figure out how to get to Josh&apos;s kirtan concert thing tomorrow afternoon&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; b) have dinner with my immediate family on Sunday night&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; c) spend Monday lazing and drawing and writing on the internets with &lt;span lj:user=&quot;ignite&quot; style=&quot;white-space: nowrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ignite.dreamwidth.org/profile&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&quot; alt=&quot;[info - personal] &quot; width=&quot;17&quot; height=&quot;17&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ignite.dreamwidth.org/&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;ignite&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and presumably &lt;span lj:user=&quot;kuchibue&quot; style=&quot;white-space: nowrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://kuchibue.dreamwidth.org/profile&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&quot; alt=&quot;[info - personal] &quot; width=&quot;17&quot; height=&quot;17&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://kuchibue.dreamwidth.org/&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;kuchibue&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; d) play &lt;i&gt;Pok&amp;#233mon Snap&lt;/i&gt;, which I totally downloaded from the Wii Store last night DON&apos;T JUDGE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So all in all, a really good day today. A good end to the week. But a few of the cons are sitting heavily in my head at the moment, so I feel pretty even.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;%%url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Original&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;a href=&quot;%%reply-url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Comment&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=cheloya&amp;amp;ditemid=434539&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot; /&gt;</description>

XD Bless you, odd couple metric, you make my life a place of joy. Now seriously, where is Yumichika - I need him to use kidou again where people can actually see it. Because Byakuya? Totally convincing Kenpachi of the power of kidou. And possibly of words, because of it. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE POWER OF ZARAKI&apos;S KIDOU? EXACTLY.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a series I barely keep up with, I love the characters in it way too much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;%%url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Original&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;a href=&quot;%%reply-url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Comment&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=cheloya&amp;amp;ditemid=434370&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot; /&gt;</description>

  <description>I am so tired today. just. so tired. And Mike left before he could add things to brew for me, so I still couldn&apos;t push my docs. :( Worked steadily all day, though, so I guess I must have done something worthwhile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just. Yeah. Wow. Exhausted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I might go to bed now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;%%url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Original&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;a href=&quot;%%reply-url&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;Comment&lt;/a&gt; || &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=cheloya&amp;amp;ditemid=434143&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot; /&gt;</description>
