  1. CSS Book, I adore you. <3

    Adventures in Codeland!

    Gee, I wonder?
  3. I would like to announce that my new CSS book is the best thing that has ever happened to my progress with skinning the site. [insert shameless plug for the blogs here!]
  4. Some of you may have noticed that the blog has changed color recently, at least in places, and most definitely for the better. That is because I finally gave up on poking things with sticks and decided to sit down and learn CSS the normal way: you know, with things I like to call books. Or rather, what ended up as one book in particular. As anyone who has ever tried to teach themselves code before, you will know that most books on the subject are either so easy to follow it's almost pretentious: Or they're almost impossible to understand, listing entire paragraphs' worth of elements and tags without any sort of description of what they are or even do, just assuming that the reader magically knows all of this already and somehow still needs to read about it in a book. Anyways, I finally found one that actually works for me: it's easy to follow, has plenty of examples, and lists some really awesome web development tools. In the past fourty-five minutes I have made the blogs look halfway decent and typed a blog post about it. You're welcome. Anyways, it's still a work in progress, of course, but at least something's been done to make the blogs not look like crap. I hope you enjoy them, and as always, feel free to submit any suggestions you may have. I can't promise I'll be able to fulfill them, or even know how to, but I will at least consider any legitimate suggestion offered. Happy blogging, everyone!
  5. Agreed. I also like his "Come on, we're nerds here" comment and his description of the Vin fight. X3
  6. It also fits the world element of people not knowing what exactly happened in the past. There is usually some truth in even the wildest corruption of history, so it makes sense to think that the Hierocracy was in some way corrupted at the end, but nobody says it can't have been a good thing when it first started.
  7. Added to the blog. Thanks for sharing!
  8. I saw this posted on the forums by mycoltbug and thought I'd share it here: Hey all just thought I would throw up this fun interview that Brandon did with Patrick Rothfuss. Link Source: Interview with Brandon and Patrick Rothfus
  9. I would like to announce that teaching basic phonology to math majors is an uphill battle.
  10. I saw this posted on the forums by mycoltbug and thought I'd share it here: Hey all, just thought I would throw up this fun interview that Brandon did with Patrick Rothfuss. Link
  11. I would like to announce that I love Spring Break. A whole week of home, family, and relaxation! <3
  12. It's possible that both sides of this theory are also true to some extent. Perhaps there were some individuals who really did see these visions and attempt to follow them, but some corrupt individuals seized the opportunity to lie about having "visions" of their own. The Hierocracy might have been a good thing to start out with but was then corrupted by the impostors, but history only remembers the latter half of the story.
  13. Unless the Old Magic is related to Odium directly. Just a thought.

    Redshift?

    Since Copperclouds are stackable, I would find it reasonable to believe that Cadmium and Bendalloy are as well. I don't know how much the effect would stack, but I think it would be there in some amount.
  15. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!
  16. Applications only count as permission to Shanghai you if and/or when we actually decide we want you as a staff member.
  17. That's what I've been told by others as well. Buffy it is!
  18. It's a lemon-butter sauce, sometimes cooked with white wine. It's all right on chicken, but amazing on mahi mahi. Also, I would like to announce that I upvoted Eeron for that post.
  19. I voted!
  20. I laugh at the fact that since you didn't disable smileys in your own post, you changed them back in your own evil way. But if you had turned them back on for Leinton's post, he or I could have just re-disabled them.
  21. It's all right to lurk. At least you have an account for when you'll want to do stuff here. Ehehehehehehe....
  22. I got the first seasons of Buffy and Battlestar Galactica on mega-sale today at MovieStop and now I'm not sure which to watch first. Any votes for one or the other?
  23. Have you guys ever had it in a piccata sauce? It is divine. <3
