hedda "fixed" transparent gif resizing by making resized transparent gifs act like pngs.
Exapno Mapcase says:
before the "fix" you could resize transparent gifs by putting !uQt! in there (not in <img: but in the stuff/)
DeathScythe Hell says:
o.o
Exapno Mapcase says:
so <img200:stu!uQt!ff/transparent.gif> would work perfectly
Exapno Mapcase says:
and now my beloved Viking pointed a thing that allows ET itself fix IE6 transparency issues! <3 IE6 shall overcome, whether hedda implements it or not: if he does, we are granted equal status - if not he affirms his prejudice against us and we have grounds to ignite a full-on browser-pride war to make our claims heard!

About ActionScript again: *sings to the tune from Nightmare before christmas*
"What's

this

? It's in my ActionScript. What's

? It seems to replace the _parent syntax. What's
this
? I must say I don't get it, could it be a friendly built-in thing or a gift from God to help me sort out this bitch of a code-" okay, that didn't fit into the tune :/

Seriously though. What is

this.gotoAndStop(2);
seems to be doing exactly what I want my code to do, but it bothers me that I don't understand it.

I tried to find the address of my old school for a uni-application and found the CV of someone I used to know (older brother of a girl I was on the same class in). o.O
I'll never be prepared for these blasts from the past.

Right, so you know I'm making this dissertation on humour. And I've made a few interesting observations that I just need to get out of my system (but can't put in the essay itself since it has to be objective or whatev).

Yesterday I was reading this book on Google Books (<3), a self-help book on relieving stress, and humour was recommended in one chapter. And this author had listed different types of humour, and wrote about sarcasm: "this is the lowest kind of humour, it is to be avoided since it doesn't relieve stress, it creates it." And I had to take a time-out to go "wtfomglmao". All humour can be used to meet both social and anti-social ends, sarcasm isn't particularly evil - only if you don't understand it.

Also, near all of the texts I've read so far begin with "humour is such an interesting field for research yet it has been examined very little." In fact, there is so much research about humour by now that it's getting a bit annoying that all the authors make this observations (even ones from recent literature, an essay from 2005 stated that too).

And another text I was reading today was proposing a practical application of their theory in the current debate of political correctness. And it was going on about racist/sexist jokes and whether they should be banned because of what they might make people think about the persons sharing the joke (so if a white man is telling a racist joke we can assume he really is racist). And two words kept repeating in my head: "Read. Freud. Read. Freud." I hope my telepathic message reached the authors. See, Freud (being all cool and strange and inverting everything) seemed to reckon that a person who is offended by an anti-semitic joke is more likely to be unconsciously anti-semitic, as opposed to someone who is enjoying an anti-semitic joke simply because it is a funny play on incongruity and stereotypes, and not because he really is all anti-semitic inside.

Some of you have been prodded before about this, so I must warn you: it'll be painful:
But vote in 30 books, people! *prod prod* I know for a fact that you can all read, and I'm pretty sure that you've read or heard of at least some books on that list - so vote! I might have to sulk at people who don't vote...

I apologice for anyone reading this who already has voted. I lob you.

On a very specific note: Meri! Pahus! Vote!!


Unrelated edit: My tea smells of my dog. Either I miss my dog very much or this cold has done something very strange to my smell-receptors (=nose).

Again it happened. A message from a member got me rambling about something semi-related:

I have a habit of being very mirror-like when it comes to internet personality, and maybe real life personality as well (it's not as easy to observe your own personality in reality as it is online). What I type is often toned according to the other people around, to reflect what I see of them. So talking to someone sarcastic tends to make me more sarcastic too, and someone really happy and bubbly makes me seem like that too, and a serious conversationalist makes me appear like one. Strangely though, this seems to work only with people who are on the same kind of social level as me. I seem to turn the mirror away when talking to "higher ups" like teachers, or parents, or even [Hedda]. Which means I'd be a terrible comedian, afraid to poke fun of the powerful. o.O

This is just a theory though (and not a very original one at that, either - was it Jung who said we all wear masks in different social situations?) The reason I'm observing it and so interested in it is because I'd lke to be able to make my art practice work like that too. A lot of artist's work is about sharing an experience - if the experience is universal enough the viewer will understand and learn from it. I'd prefer my art to be less about me (again, not an original idea) and more about the viewer entering the work to reflect him/herself from the work in order to learn about him/herself.


Apparently I can talk about myself sometimes. Fancy that. o.O
(The message-sender seems promising. A new nonner, mayhaps...)

I've gone essay-happy. >_> Comical or cynical?.

Also, if you are into any kinds of comics, pay the wiki a visit and sign up as a member - I'm seriously curious about the amount of comic lovers in ET. :3
