If any of you use Firefox, then you’ll have noticed that the “Preview Comment” feature doesn’t work anymore. It stopped working after I converted this site over to XHTML. Initially it worked (even though it validated as XHTML 1.1) because I was setting the mime-type to text/html. To make it completely compliant, I set the…
Month: June 2005
This site is XHTML 1.1 Valid
I finally got this site to validate! The folks over here were really helpful, and pointed out that I wasn’t assigning values to my objects’ style attributes properly. For example, I was doing: instead of: The second way is the correct way because it is important to specify units for your attributes. In addition, Firefox…
I love this girl
Here’s an inanity: I am totally in love with this girl (more pictures here). I was at Sadhana’s house one day, and her amma was watching some Tamil movie. The “song and dance” sequence was on, and I see this really cute girl on the screen. So I immediately turn to Kala Aunty and go…
Live! Preview and XHTML Compatibility
I’ve added a new feature called “Live Preview”. You can see your comment as it will appear, right as you type it. I randomly just came up with the idea yesterday – I figured I could use the same code I have in place for the preview, for the Live Preview as well. I just…
Preview Button and no more Iframes
I have added a “Preview Comments” button to the comment submission form. So now, you’re able to preview your comments before submitting them. The preview will show you your comments exactly as they will appear (after they have been submitted). The other big thing is the removal of iframes. I thought iframes were really freaking…
You have 48 hours to stop the Broadcast Flag
Ladies and Gentlemen, you have 48 hours to stop the broadcast flag. If you remember, they tried this sometime ago, but it was struck down. What is the Broadcast Flag? Basically it is a way for the money-hungry bastards at Hollywood and the MPAA to control what you can view, and when. Today, you can…
w00t! Article accepted!
I got another article accepted by Slashdot. That brings it to a total of 3 articles accepted (out of 7 that I submitted). In all honesty though, the first few times I submitted articles, I submitted them to what I thought was the appropriate category, instead of submitting them to the index. Maybe that was…
It’s hard to talk about this
I put off writing about this for a long time. Mainly because I didn’t want to think about it, and also because I wasn’t sure what I would really say. My grandmother passed away last week. She was 72 years old. She was on life-support for a few days, but eventually she passed away -…
Scrolling problems
I’m having some problems with my Javascript code when it comes to scrolling with the mouse-wheel. You have to focus out side the “content” for it to scroll properly, especially in journal entries where the content is really long. I have an idea in mind, but it involves restructing completely. I’m thinking of removing the…
The Subject is Irrelevant
Sometimes I think that I know all there is to know about certain people who are very close to me. I even trust them implicitly. Then something comes along and blows it all apart. It took me about a year and a half to come to this decision. I didn’t realize how hurt I was…
