Rain Rain go away, come back another day…
Uhhh… well… not sure when the rain will stop. Seems like it’s a late monsoon season.
We went out offroading yesterday, eventhough it was raining and had been raining for days. We all made it home, thankfully. I posted the pics in my photo gallery already, and the video will be posted soon.
It’s 4:43 am, and I’m at work. Blaaaahhhh!!!
Happy Veterans Day all! It’s a bit rainy here in Northern Japan… don’t think it has stopped in 3 or 4 days.
Still working on CSS, tweaking my main site here and there, & trying to learn what I can. Not much to say, it’s about lunch time and I’m going to go downtown and get something in the Japanese Grocery Store. Speaking of those stores, I put some video here & some pics here of a grocery store & a Wal-Mart/Home-Depot style store. Let me know what you think & post a comment…
Looks like we’re planning another off road trip to the Mountains this weekend. Weather Permitting of course. We’ll see what happens.
Here’s some CSS that I used to make a pretend “Terminal Screen:”
You can see an example here.
/* my [typed] Piece of Paper CSS */
html{height: 100%;}
body {
font-family: terminal, sans-serif;
color: #00FF33;
padding: 20px 20px 20px 20px;
margin: 0px;
background-color: #4682B4;
}
/* The Terminal Window */
#main
{ width: 640px;
height: 480px;
padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
background: #000000;
color: #00FF33;
}
#top {
position:absolute;
padding: 50px 50px 50px 50px;
margin-left: 3cm;
margin-right: auto;
background: #FFFFFF;
color: #000000;
width: 780px;
height: 150px;
top: 50px;
bottom: 100px;
}
a:link {color: #ffffff} /* unvisited link */
a:visited {color: #ffffff} /* visited link */
a:hover { /* mouse over link */
color: #FFf0FF
}
a:active {color: #0000FF} /* selected link */
/* positioning - left, right and center */
.left
{ float: left;
padding: 0px 8px 0px 0px;
}
.right
{ float: right;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 8px;
}
.center
{ display: block;
text-align: center;
margin: 0 auto;
}
Did this CSS to make a page look like a “typed” piece of paper.
/* my [typed] Piece of Paper CSS */
html{height: 100%;}
body {
font-family: "courier new", courier, terminal, sans-serif;
color: #ffffff;
padding: 20px 20px 20px 20px;
margin: 0px;
background-color: #404040 ;
}
/* The Piece of Paper */
#main
{ width: 780px;
height: 800px;
padding: 50px 50px 50px 50px;
margin-left: 3cm;
margin-right: auto;
background: #FFFFFF;
color: #000000;
line-height: 1em;
letter-spacing: .05em;
word-spacing: .2em;
}
#top {
position:absolute;
padding: 50px 50px 50px 50px;
margin-left: 3cm;
margin-right: auto;
background: #FFFFFF;
color: #000000;
width: 780px;
height: 150px;
top: 50px;
bottom: 100px;
}
a:link {color: #000000} /* unvisited link */
a:visited {color: #000000} /* visited link */
a:hover { /* mouse over link */
color: #FF00FF
text
}
a:active {color: #0000FF} /* selected link */
/* positioning - left, right and center */
.left
{ float: left;
padding: 0px 8px 0px 0px;
}
.right
{ float: right;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 8px;
}
.center
{ display: block;
text-align: center;
margin: 0 auto;
}
Ok, I see a big difference when viewing my website with Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. The formatting is totally different. It seems that in Interent Explorer (IE) Some of my widgets doesn’t show up. I’ve been playing with different “themes” to see which one is best viewed with both IE & Firefox. I thought the current theme was, but apparently not. Now at the house I do not use IE because I use Linux, but I do get to test out my css, code, html, and whatever at work using IE. Wish I could use Firefox at work, but it is banned from Government Computers. Anyway, guess this is a plea for those of you out there still using Internet Explorer, there is something better out there. Please visit http://mozilla.org/firefox and download your copy today.
Added some RSS feeds. Just testing some stuff out, learning stuff…
Man, it was cold out this AM. 37 degrees. Just 5 more degrees to freezing. There’s no heat on in our building yet, and it’s seems even colder in here. It’s blowing cold air! I’ve got my Jacket on sitting here typing this and I’m still cold. Brrrrrrrrrr… I don’t get paid enough for this.
Jaymie went on her first field trip today. Look here for the pics. Looks like Jaymie had a great time.
Added some new themes to my blog. Periodically I like to change the looks of things. Hope you like it.
