Chicago Tribune | Air America restored in Chicago Well, as of 832am local time April 16th, it’s still in Chinese. I’ve got a little AM radio at work today, set very low, so that I can hear if/when they make the cutover. Why? I don’t know. The situation is bizarrely fascinating. I’ve been chatting most nights on IRC. There’s a simpler way to get to IRC, for those people who have no idea what Internet Relay Chat is. It happens during the Majority Report live show weeknights. Go to http://www.undernet.org and click “webchat” from the array of buttons. Specify channel…

We walked around the yard yesterday. There’s chunks of dead grass in the front under the hawthorne bush (Bush Must Go! Bush Must Go) from the actions of voles. There’s dead grass in the back (looks like moles). There’s a hole back there something dug – probably a toad – behind the star magnolia. Voles and moles and holes. Oh my! We’re calling somebody to come out and do something. Blech. Meanwhile, the rosemary in the “herb garden” didn’t make it because I didn’t mulch. The rosemary next to the house (big clue here, near the dryer vent) made it,…

Via AKMA’s Random Thoughts: Fools’ Errand, a new interactive virtual church experiment at Ship of Fools. With pews made from pixels, the congregation logging in from their home computers and the collection sent in by mobile phone, the world’s first 3D online church is going to be church like never before. The House of God is set to become the Mouse of God. Well, it sounds interesting, might be fun to log in and check it out when they get it running – it begins May 11th, but they’re still looking for funding.

It’s time to stop screwing around with the machanics of the stupid blog and make some entries already. So soon there’ll be some more entries covering the week David and I spent hiking, eating, and drinking in Grassington, Yorkshire Dales. But first this cautionary tale. Do not go anywhere with dry toast in your pockets, or They will attack you from the sea and from the air. Who are They? The shadowy evil figures that haunt your dreams and turn them to nightmare. They are… the massive continuity of ducks!! Mu-ahahahahaha!! No, really, there are some really pretty canals in…

blockquote { font-family: verdana, georgia, arial, color: #2F4F4F; font-size:small; font-style:italic; background: #F5F5F5; padding: 20px; border: 1px solid #999; } code { font-size:14px; font-weight:normal; color:#000; background: #F5F5F5; text-align:left; } .floatimgleft { float:left; margin-top:10px; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px; padding:2px; border:3px #a9a9a9; } So… do I have the “code” macro working right now? And here is the stylesheet CSS if I do.

Since working with a cat image seems to be traditional, I thought I’d use one of Stuey for this next exercise in CSS madness. I was trying to get this to work the other night, adapting one of several methods for adding drop shadows in CSS, but doing it “the MT way.” I may have to concede that such things will have to be done “as is” and learn not to rely on the MT “show me the HTML feature.” Now I’m trying it “by the book” as described at Alistapart.rather than applying the CSS class with class="floatimgleft" as an…

Okay, let’s try this again:Air America Radio has the registration page up again, and it seems to be working now. Also, their Real Audio software seems to have been upgraded (yay!) and is more seamlessly integrated. In related news, the Majority Report website will soon be redesigned to add more features. But here again are the 6 Reasons You Should Register to be an AAR charter member: 1. John Ashcroft will know where to find you. 2. All our annoying pop-up ads are invisible. 3. Because they shut down the Dennis Kucinich dating chat room. 4. Our spam is vegetarian.…
