Das eez kaput! Sometime around 2002 I spaced the entire database table that mapped individual entries to categories. Such is life. What follows is a random sampling of entries that were associated with the category. Over time, the entries will be updated and then it will be even more confusing. Wander around, though, it's still a fun way to find stuff.
Why I'm doing this 3 days before my wedding is anyones guess!
July 24, 2003 Montreal <snip /> Anyway, there are two things I'll remember about my studio : On the far fall, as you walk in, the previous occupant had fixed a towel rack to the wall. Over that, she glued mirrored glass which had been cut into individual letters to spell the word : F U C K E R On the near wall, as you walk in, there was an old and short filing cabinet that had been left behind. I didn't use it at first; I just moved it out of the way a lot. Finally, I did a Big Cleanup and put the cabinet near a table where I could easily reach things like tape and pencils and erasers. The first time I opened the top drawer to put something in it I found myself staring at a single fridge-poetry magnet that had wedged itself into the corner where the drawer's bottom met its face. It said : LUST Like I said, the rest of the year was really just one false start after another.

But hey, if you can deal with it, it does mean you should be able to do
secure XML over HTTP on a Mac. I can't honestly remember the details of
passing and returning data between Frontier/Radio and AppleScript,
right now, but I know it's possible because I used to call the
askPassword OSAX
in Frontier 5. I have reached that
punch my computer
stage in this investigation so I have to stop now but it should all be
possible with three scripts : one UserTalk, two AppleScript. The first
would take your parameters and figure out whether you were running
Classic or OS X. If Classic, then hand off to an AppleScript that calls
the Late Night Software
widget
(you could also do this by hand...if you're insane) otherwise use the
built-in
methods
available under OS X. 19) Why are there no verbs for creating

Move along, now.
I want to be able to do the following:
span.footnote { display:inline; } span.footnote:before { content: "<footnote/>"; margin-right:5px; margin-left:5px; font-family:monospace; color:brown; } span.footnote:hover:before { content: "<footnote>"; } span.footnote > span.content { display:none; } span.footnote:hover > span.content { display: inline; font-family:monospace; } span.content:first-letter { color:#fff; } span.footnote > span.content:after { content: "</footnote>"; margin-right:5px; margin-left:5px; font-family:monospace; color:brown; } <div>hello <span class = "footnote"> <span class = "content"> * This is the network of our disconnect. </span> </span> world.</div>Which should render like this in a CSS-enabled browser :
And like this in a text-browser:
But it doesn't. Specifically, the leading asterix (which is included to denote a text as a footnote or afternote in user-agents that don't do formatting) is supposed to by assigning it the same colour as the background.
span.content:first-letter { color:#fff; }If you're wondering why I didn't just define the
:first-letter's display property ashiddenit's not for lack of trying. Based on my experiments it simply doesn't work. Another mystery.But it only works when the
span.contentelement is displayed as a block. I want to display it inline for foofy design considerations, which since we're talking about CSS is as a good a reason as any.Actually, I'd also like a
last-letterornth-letterselector so that I could wrap my footnotes in parentheses for text-browsers and then hide them when the CSS kung-fu enters the building.
