general thoughts – and lot’s of links

Tech stuff:

I have been working on this website and some others,

getting a handle
on some pretty cool technologies I need to understand.
This is all part of my desire to simplify my web design process in light of
the advances in the state of browsers these days. Generally speaking, I have
decided to

require
modern, standards compliant browsers to view my sites. Along the
way I am hoping to

do my part
to clean up the way the web is built.

Generally speaking, this means I will be using

CSS
to handle the vast majority of my formatting and layout. In fact I
will be using it for almost everything except absolute positioning issues.
Those I will probably still handle with tables because they are a cleaner
implementation of such things in my mind right now. Who knows, that

could change
in the future as well.

I admit though, I haven’t yet found a compelling reason to skip using a
hybrid CSS/Table page layout formula for now, it degrades well and is still
fairly flexible. Combined with the template abilities of

Dreamweave
r it seems to be a good compromise.

While we are talking, I am going to be using some more of the HTML stuff
here. For example, if you hover over the links you will now find out a little
bit of where the link will take you.

Covetous is I:

I was looking around the web and found some really cool stuff for

Poser
I covet. They updated the

clothing for Victoria II
and that is really going to be a big help when I
get my hands on it. Hopefully in a week or so I will be able to order it. This
should go a long way to helping with some upcoming work.

While I was digging the stuff out in the Poser world I came across this

Cyborg model
. How cool! I can think of a thousand uses for this thing. It
even has

accessories
. Way cool.

 

More later! Enjoy!
