Expect silence during these next days (weeks?). I’m offline to prepare my exams, which will happen on Tuesday
and Thursday next week. Wish me luck!
As soon as those are done with, I’m off to Birmingham — to see this little one, amongst other
lovely people. I’ll hop down to London with Danielle to see Private Lives (btw, if you’re a nice
person in London and you can accomodate the two of us for one night, drop
me an e-mail!)
Those of you who know my mobile number can use that to reach me while
I’m in Switzerland (I love sms!) — once I’m in England, email rules.
But most of all, have a nice time while I’m gone!
Allow me, for once, to jump on a meme bandwagon. Here is my Dvorakitty:
[Thanks to Meryl for the photoshopping. I'm hopeless at that kind of stuff.]
It’s nowhere as funny as Meryl’s Dvorakitty, of course. And it’s actually pretty spooky to see my cat looking at me from the top of that body.
Little explanation: Dvorak is the author of a pretty shallow article on the ‘Blog’ phenomenon. He said something about people posting less pictures of their cats on their sites, too. Not sure if it was supposed to be a good or a bad thing…
Update, July 2007: hunting in the archives:
If you’re still wondering why you should use CSS instead of tables for layout out your pages, you need to read Eric Costello’s excellent Introduction to CSS Layout.
For more information on how to do it (once you’re convinced), you can always check out my stuff - at the risk of repeating myself. Of course, Eric’s article does a pretty good job of explaining that part too, complete with practical examples.
CSS rocks!
Ce matin, un rêve a refusé de me laisser tranquille. Je l’ai attrapé et collé sur du papier: Fantôme!
If you find the prospect of wading through the w3c specs daunting, and you are a lucky user of Mozilla or Opera, you’ll find these sidebar tabs invaluable. Yes, follow that link even if you don’t know what a sidebar tab is. I didn’t either before I went there.
These tabs conveniently list all the HTML and CSS elements in your sidebar. Click on the tag, attribute or element you need information on, and you’ll be transported to the relevant place in the w3c specifications. Without the trouble of finding the right spec, and then the right place in the spec. Still there?
I can’t imagine I discovered about them only now.
Yes, Shirley tells us they work in Opera, don’t worry.
A bird has been hidden in this picture. Can you find it?
[Raph, je sais pas où tu les trouves!]
Anita suggests a caption contest. So here we go!
- Send in your caption(s) by email before Feb. 26 (Tuesday)
- Français and English allowed. Hindi permitted only if you explain the line to me.
- Prize: signed picture (yes!) of me wearing my AntiBloggie prize. Cool, uh?
So you want the whole story about this AntiBloggie award, huh? How much are you willing to pay?
I’ll give you a hint, though: take a look at the prize.
Now, who wouldn’t love to have a t-shirt with naked Karl posing on it, front and back? Well, what do you think? Would you have hesitated?
Obviously, you all did — that’s why I‘m the one who won the t-shirt (and the *hrmm* honours). I won’t tell you what it cost me in bribery, though. Ask Dave if you really want that part of the story.
[Actually, you don't want to know that part. No, Grandma. You really don't.]
Oh and of course, the most important. There never was any CafePress gear on this site. *Scandal, scandal!*
