Thanks for the holiday background Ekka.. ![]() Hey... I found a copy of a file from last winter - a page with an old wintertime poem that I liked a lot. Its a short one, but each winter, I find myself in the shoes of the person of the poem - just without the horse. Mainly because I grew up on a decent size property where the same view was available, and I'd stand under the trees when it snowed - usually at night in Oregon. And I go hiking quite a bit, even when it snows. Not alpine, but just high enough to reach the snow zone. The Oregon coast range is a classic for that - about 2000 foot elevation at summit. Winter Poem about stopping in the woods for snow Enjoy the holiday season, whether you celebrate one or not |

Mario, that snow background idea is great, java driven, where can I perhaps make up some custom ones?

Please, dont tell me you wrote that but copied it? What a language to learn that would be, far out! I'll see what I have time to conjure up over the weekend, there's a serious lack of outback christmas stuff, really peeves you here when buying cards to buy snow and deer and stuff coz we dont get any of that. We got roos, wombats, koalas, beach, beer, seafood etc ... and firebans! ![]() ![]()

No dreamweaver, that's flash stuff right? I dont use flash much, dont like it but has it's place and yes it does like good. I have some basic flash software to make stuff to insert into videos etc. I have a program that can convert video's to flash but frankly, file size isn't much different so I dont bother.

nah man not just Flash...the software allows to create pages and include many other feathures all in program/screen, also has a nice preview of the page simply by hitting F12 (preview in IE window) i think you run FFox so i am uncertain aboutits compatability w/ that. also everything is color coded makes editing index files a snap esp because you can preview page without uploading to server providing you build the page w/ "paths" to you hard drive for any graphics. -Daryl

Nope, haven't done it yet. I gotta stop arguing on AS about healthcare and guns. LOL It's like a sport for me. ![]() Hey, I dont use any software for page building, I just write the code on the server page and refresh the browser. I'm not sure if it could write a css page?

***checking PAGER*** Guns? Did somebody say guns? <slowly, a smile starts to spread from one corner of Therrin's mouth to the other, turning into a rictus of intense happiness> So are you guys pro-gun or are you a bunch of diaper wearing pansies? Oh wait, are you guys even *allowed* to own guns? ![]() Was doing some research into purchasing a 6.8 spc upper w/ 20" barrel for my AR15. The 16" .223 rig works nicely, but the rounds are just so small! |

Not many gun guys here, auto's are out. I've been out of the gun scene too long to really know but the gun club at Capalaba is pretty busy. You USA guys are gun nutters though, have wide range and autos etc.

Eh, not an auto. Auto would be M16... I think my AR15 lower was machined in such a way that there's a shoulder in the way of where the auto parts would need to move. Built mine from just a stripped lower reciever. Managed to get that through a loophole that opened up for a bit. Allowed me to register it as an assault weapon here in Cali. Eh, I grew up with in the mountains/woods, little town of less than 500 pop. Dad's been a cop for 24 years. Shooting is pretty normal here. The ranch I'm watching has a built in pistol range, and a 100yard target for short distance small arms. LOL Nice call DBS |

DBS, I got that cs3 program and add ons, never use it, gotta get a degree of some sorts to use it. I tinkered, and tinkered and went back to writing code! LOL It's very good, and powerful but jeez, to teach it to yourself even with online tutorials mate I got another job too! I have been thinking about doing some courses but frankly they all seem a little entry level as a vocational subject and I aint doing no 3 year course on graphic arts and web design. Can you use it well?

use it well i cannot.. :-( its just that... it truely is learning another language. for someone like yourself Eric, if you continue to use it for the simple tasks you will begin to WANT to expand you capabilities within that software. it is then you will realize how powerful it really is. it would be so nice to be able to just "upload" a skillset to the brain... Matrix anyone??? you are familiar w/ writing code so perhaps start there. Utilize the software to write your code... that will force to you familiarize yourself with the software. build on that. good luck with it!! you'll need it!! ![]() sweet i got the top of page!!!! -Daryl
