Quiet Words

Finished adding "tags" to all the old entries. I hadn't realized how infrequently I had posted here earlier this year. Either that, or some entries are missing! I thought I'd written one short Norwescon 28 report. I may go back later if I think of more tags or to check for entries I've missed.

In other news, I got someone to change one of my front door locks for me, just in case the landlord jumps the gun. Up until Friday's surprise notification, which varied from the verbal agreement, he'd been pretty good. Irritatingly, I didn't remember until Saturday night that an automatic withdrawal for my car insurance was scheduled for Monday, with insufficient funds in the account. The withdrawal could have been postponed a few more days, if I hadn't been distracted by that discrepancy.

Edited the style a bit. Still doesn't look quite right.
Improved an older entry by substituting a span tag with a style clause instead of the font tag that didn't work.
LJ has a definite bug: it deletes plus signs! But only sometimes! I can't figure it where though. I consider the day view thing to be a bug too. Anyways, I don't remember where to report bugs ....

The main purpose of this entry is to break the habit of not making entries. How can I write if I can't make journal entries? I have thought of more interesting things to say while doing something else, but when I'm in front of the computer, or able to write things down, it all vanishes.

I've gotten rid of the website link display for now. It only had some obsolete information about my conlangs at best. I hope to get another site and put up newer information eventually so I can reenable the links.

Also, I fixed the month color for Calendar view.

There's a problem with the Day view: the overrides seem to be inserted in the wrong place in the style, so that they don't work completely. I don't know what can be done about this.

I still need to come up with at least one image. There seems to be at least 3 image editing programs on this computer, but either shareware or M$, and overly complicated.

I've been playing with configuring the appearance most of the day. This "Refried Paper" format has the nicest layout, but requires a lot of overrides *** replaced from here on *** I was able to configure the link colors! and the backgrounds! It still needs more work, but is starting to look good. I had to read quite a few of the howto entries.
