I started the day with Homer

Might as well end the day with this - Jake: "Ole and Lena were excited to get a new cellular phone.."  [Scripting News]

Tomorrow: I'm going to learn how to wrap the text of a post properly around a graphic. Russ has something on this and Howard Hansen posted a comment about it as well. I know it's simple stuff, but this HTML stuff is still not immediately obvious to me. I think the difficulty stems from never having had to use a text processor prior to WYSIWYG word processors. Or, stupidity and density could be factors.

What Gerstner left behind...

is a much healthier company than he found when he arrived! This came as no surprise weeks ago, and it wasn't a surprise today!

Alwin Hawkins is this morning's hero!

Working solely by email, he talked me through something I didn't even know existed. I edited a macro. At least that's what I think I did. See the opml coffee cup over in the left border of my site? I had to edit a macro to be able to use this coffee cup in lieu of the one that was the default.

I had no idea that I had access to macros. When the instructions said, "Add a call to <%radio.outliner.macros.coffeeMug ()%>, as shown in this screen shot.' I thought that was all I could do. I'm not sure why there's a border around it, nor am I sure why the graphic that's part of the big blue button at the top is very slightly distorted, but I'm learning! That's what I'm wanting.

Thanks Alwin - many thanks! Hey, he's got another site?

Hysterical

Where does he come up with this stuff? Better yet...how does a page like that get created? Me thinks there's more to it than the html I've been staring at!

Thomas A. Edison. "Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless." [Quotes of the Day]

Thomas must have had trouble with his OPML Coffee Mug and categories and Google Boxes and pasting images and a search feature and his News Aggregator.

Transform?

There's a difference in transforming journalism and providing a new medium for journalism. Providing a medium which permits more people to become journalists doesn't necessarily transform the craft which is journalism.

It's the World Wide Blog. The personal homepages in the long-ago days of yore have evolved into sophisticated weblogs that, some say, will transform the world of journalism. By Andrew Sullivan of Wired magazine. [Wired News]
