Lisa is off the wagon. For a while she hadn’t been playing chess online, but today she downloaded the latest version of World Chess Network, and now she’s back in the game. From the computer room we can hear the familiar strains of “Taps” when she loses, and the gentle golf-clap of victory when she prevails. She’s talking to herself, too. At least she once managed to turn her addiction to professional gain.   * * *   Objects of wonder, via Monkeytime. 6:33:12 PM    comment []

The new look for this page is called Movable Radio: blue. It’s coming along. Last night I figured out how to make links the same size as the rest of my text. Not exactly intuitive for a non-HTML speaker, and the Radio discussion board and emails to a designer friend were no help, so I ended up just mucking around in the home page template box until I found the right font size to change. There it was, right up near the top:   A {     color: #0045AD; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif;     font-size:10px;     text-decoration: none;     font-weight:normal;     }   Just change the px count until it looks the way you want it to. Next up, learning color codes.   9:40:12 AM    comment []
