How do I start living life?
Time

If you coped well with C, HTML and CSS will be a piece of cake for you. They are just markup languages, not real programming. They are the building blocks for how a site looks, not for what it does - though CSS has come a long way since I last fiddled with it. They will not really help you learn stuff like PHP, but if you have a decent mind for maths (I don't) that should be a piece of cake too. Good luck!

Random Thoughts

This is the story of the Harry Potter audiobook drinking game. You can listen along with me in your audiobook. You will know it is time to take a drink when Stephen Fry says the following words:

briskly

brusquely

exasperated/exasperation

four poster

armchair

greasy curtains

 

edit- I need an mp3 player with that feature due to falling asleep thankyou very much Erica. But you did inspire this drinking game. Which I am definitely not playing by myself right now...

The Anyone (formerly Vampire) Sharing Counting Thread (was The Count's Counting Threat).
Time

The Count says :

 

You know that I am called the Count
Because I really love to count
I could sit and count all day
Sometimes I get carried away

I count slowly, slowly, slowly getting faster
Once I've started counting it's really hard to stop
Faster, faster. It is so exciting!
I could count forever, count until I drop

1! 2! 3! 4!
1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4

I count the spiders on the wall...
I count the cobwebs in the hall...
I count the candles on the shelf...
When I'm alone, I count myself!

I count slowly, slowly, slowly getting faster
Once I've started counting it's really hard to stop
Faster, faster. It is so exciting!
I could count forever, count until I drop

1! 2! 3! 4!
1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, I love counting!
That's the song of the Count!

Also: One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven TWELVE!

Psycho Dayv Lives!
Time

Very sorry to read this.

Condolences to Dayv's family and friends.

The copy and paste may be from posting it at another site Dayv frequented. A family member may be honouring his wishes but feel no compunction to provide us with further details. And that would be be perfectly understandable. If this is indeed true, I would advise those family members or friends to stop reading this thread, at least until you have finished grieving. The messages from well wishers here will be drowned in speculation.

HI-Res Poster Art

www.movieposterdb.com

so far 80% of them are really high quality and better than those easily found elsewhere.

Fixed. While this site does have fantastic stuff, some of their Star Wars posters are stretched or squashed. I found an excellent style A one-sheet there - but Leia has the same shape head as Karl Pilkington. Beware! I have offered to replace or correct what I can if they offer me free access to the Star Wars posters; I don't intend to buy credits to get them all and find out the hard way which ones are crap, and I don't intend to upload everything I have for the same result. The admin there are also as slow as a wet week, so while I'm waiting for their answer I am having some success putting their file names into GIS and finding the same images elsewhere ;)
