scottobearYum, The momster brought over a stocking. I got some lovely sundries, including a really tasty slice of pumpkin-spice bread.. and... *no* toenail clippers. I think it's a minor Christmas miracle! Newt got a pretty collar, and some fine paper wads to chase. Mommie dearest got a nice bottle of wine and some candy.
Pic from yesterday, Newt and I reading together.
A couple of sleepyheads!
I was very disappointed to see that Microsoft stopped providing downloads of the TrueType core fonts from the web, considering that my system doesn't have Baker signet, Papyrus, or Verdana by default. Hopefully, they'll be provided when I reinstall MS Office / Word to this system, otherwise, I'll have to bleed them off of Frankenstein. (Big Brain's New Name). My next step is to see if I can yank them from somewhere else as I've had no luck with the web.archive.org site.
I'll leave the streaming cam on again, today... I like that I can set it to toss things in the gallery only if the image has changed by a certain percent. Instead of streaming audio, I've shared a link to a silly music directory at the bottom of the page. Folks can download what they want.
It'll be a thick day today... Training Mohna in the morning, and getting the Georgia Newsletter on the website by 4pm. I'm really glad that tomorrow is Saturday. I look forward to a little relaxation sometime this weekend. I may be able to get Kahuna to take a little call, so I can hang out with Danny.... His birthday is the top of January.
The holiday's brought forth a lot of good vibes for me, and that's something I really appreciate. As this year draws to a close, I think that I'll do a longer review of this year's blessings. The best of them is that I picked up a number of new friends, and renewed friendships with some old friends that I'd lost contact with for an age, and found some worthwhile work to do. Anyhoo, it's time to launch. Until later, dear journal!

Date: 2003-12-27 07:00 pm (UTC)I uploaded Papyrus and all of the miscellaneous Verdana files I had. The Baker Signet I don't have though, which I find odd, as soon as I get unpacked from moving I can look around on some cd's for it though.

Date: 2003-12-26 10:22 am (UTC)Sorry to intrude, but I ran across your journal and was wondering how you did the "transparent" thing? Very cool! Hope you don't mind me asking.

Date: 2003-12-27 09:27 am (UTC)in the body of my journal, I have this code -
That holds my background in place when you scroll. (and extends a black bg behind it, so that wide monitors don't see where the image stops.)
The transparency is actually the *default* of how things work. I have the page set up as a table, and if you don't put a color in, it will be "clear to what's behind it".
Hope that helps!
