Unrelatedly to everything ever, I find it a little amusing that, pretty much any time I want to do something interesting with html, I cobble it together from viewing the source code of other people's journal entries. I'm pretty sure that this is teaching me Bad Habits.

Notes:


  • [ul] makes a list, with [li] being each item in the list.

  • [code] gets it in a lovely monospaced font. I am SO PROUD I remembered the term monospace.

  • [pre] I haven't quite figured out yet, so I shouldn't     play    with it. And the gaps it allows for.

  • [sup] gives you superscript and [sub] gives you subscript I use the former for footnotes

  • [small] is how I make my footnotes smaller than the rest of the text. You can also mess around with font size, but [small] is easier

  • I'm pretty sure this is outdated, but [b] is bold, [i] is italics, [u] is underlined, and [s] is struck through

  • You can also apparently change the spacing of lists by adding a [p] after the [li]. A paragraph break, perhaps?


  • If I wanted to link my favourite htmly thing ever, I would be using [a href="http://link.com"]. Similarly, all those pictures I was posting earlier were yoinked from flickr by posting [img src="http://image-source.jpg"]


  • And while I'm too lazy to demonstrate1, [a href="#n"] will provide a link to wherever I have dropped the [a name="n"]


  • (added 2019 01 04): Shamelessly stolen from the Dreamwidth FAQs, I can type [user name=sorcyress] for a DW name or community like [personal profile] sorcyress

And now I can just use this as my go-to for html, without even frigging having to click on the "edit" button to view my raw text. I am so okay with this, you have no idea.

MOOP!

Dooooooooooooork!

Souhm, yeah. Sorcy = helladork.

No, seriously, I am geeking out about how cool it is to be able to do the whole computer thing just with my keyboard and not have to use my mouse at all, what is wrong with me, damnit, damnit!

Because, I mean, it was cool enough when I finally started seriously using apple-tab to switch programs. "Oh, I am typing a livejournal entry but Keira just said something I want to reply to in IM? No problem!" But just now, I learned that I can open chats with people in Adium without using my mouse at all -- apple-/ to open the contacts list, arrows to navigate the list, enter to open a new chat with a new person. Holyshit, so easy.

Soyeah. Now all I *really* need is an easier way to swap from tab to tab in Safari (c'mon Apple, shift-alt-twiddle-arrow? what the hell is *wrong* with you, that's four keys! Get it down to two, bitte.) and I will be a happyKat.

(Or, I mean, I could start using Firefox. Which I probably should do anyways, as it's got a handful of better features that I'm too lazy to go hunting for in Safari --ability to have multiple search boxes, for instance, and not just google.)

Alsoalso, I apparently need to learn Dvorak, so I can train myself to stop hitting twiddle-Q instead of twiddle-W. Computers are weird.

....

Yeah, that's all. Go play The World's Hardest Game, which I'm sure *isn't*, but is tricky enough to be annoying and addictive and I'm stuck SO BAD on level ten, but I'm getting better, and I've only died eighty times on this level. Hate.

Notes about Things

Notes about things:

*People smoke a lot more in college then in high school. (presumably because it's legal) There are always half a dozen kids out on the quad with lit cigs in their mouths.

*My dinner tonight was a bag of Combos and an apple that I swiped from the dining hall yesterday. I am officially a college student.1

*HOLYSHIT! I COMPLETELY forgot to bring my HTML cheatsheet! That means that stuff that I should know how to do, like links inside my post, have completely been lost. 2

*There are at least three bookstores in Cambridge that I haven't gone into yet. Aiee! (one over in Porter Square, the one next to Diesel Cafe in Davis Square, and Barefoot Books up along Mass Avenue.)

*I should go to bed in the very near future, and read the rest of Sandman #9. Also, I should brush and braid my hair again, since I had it braided all yesterday and that was nice.

Goodnight!

1: Magus, this was not your fault. Mom, this was not Magus's fault. I will eat a proper breakfast tomorrow and be perfectly fed.

2: Well, I could always go look them up. But I'm lazy, and by posting the above, Tho might go ahead and tell me it again.

The favorite person of the day1 is Thorog.

Because he's a horrid cynical orc, and he taught me more HTML. And now I will abuse it mercilessly! BWAHAHAHA!

HTML is fun though. You can make things bold or italicized or underlined With a little bit of attention, you can learn how to strike things out.

( And for LJ specific ones... )

And then there are links. You can link to other pages or, if you're talented, the same page

I've also recently learned how to make text bigger or smaller. All I need now is a quick way to do colours, so Gabriel and Alis can talk faster then me playing copy-paste with the sticky pad.

And of course, as I just learned, you can do this.*

So that's my day so far. Off to have a quick shower, then RUNEQUEST! Yay!!

MOOP!

1: By far. By FAR! And it's only noon.

Wow, and for once, I haven't even set foot in the bar.

( A far too long rant about relationships and whatnot. Inspiered by my yellow notebook rants from ninth grade, if anyone remembers those. )

The golden age of webcomics:

Hear ye, Hear ye, this is the GOLDEN AGE OF WEBCOMICS and yea, it is great!

Powered by kdsorceress

Introduction: The Golden Age of Webcomics is whats going on right now, for Webcomics are nifty. It's basically a place for me to squeel and post webcomicy news.

Todays News: (22 March 2K4)

Well, the first and most important bit of news is that Kiki has returned, at that god among comics, Sluggy Freelance! now we have Kiki AND Riff, both in my top five charecters. (the other three are Gywnn, Bun-Bun, and Oasis.)

Second bit of news is that GPF is absolutly amazing and I love it. I'm quite serious when I say this. I mean, a blonde Trudy is just too cool for words. And here's hoping for a Yoshi/Trudy (AKA b0r0m1r/s1r3n) matching.

Minor news:

~CRFH is having an "oh shit" moment today. Good stuff. And good luck to Mike.
~Spare Parts is sooooo somewhere I'd love to be right now. And CARL YOU IDIOT! GET THE FLAG BACK FROM HIM!!!
~Sore Thumbs keeps getting more and more interesting. This is a fun little comic, and really new. Hello Melody!
~21st Century Fox is having an awesome storyline right now. I highly reccomend you all check it out.

And as always, I THOUROGHLY encourage everyone to go click on those lovely links up there. (EDIT: erm...Down there)

~Sorceress
