Um, wh-?

Er, anyone know why my LJ spontaneously changed its style? Without me actually being in the management pages? I was just innocently browsing my f-page when the layout, colours and everything suddenly went kaplooey. After a couple of minutes of random clicking, checking in another browser and generally feeling puzzled, I popped into the management screen and discovered that the journal style had re-set to Generator. Hmmm.

Annoyingly, it means that I've had to restore all of my settings and it still doesn't look right. I could have sworn that there was more padding between the entry text and the borders. Grrr.

I have worked out how to create sparkly, lovely, horizontal drop-down menus without massive amounts of JavaScript. There is a teeny snippet of JavaScript, but it's mainly constructed with XHTML and CSS. If Microsoft hadn't crippled IE's CSS support, I wouldn't need any JavaScript at all. Bloody Microsoft.

But the menus are very cool :-) Now I just have to design a logo, draw up a final design for the site I'm redeveloping, make the final design work properly and get a go-ahead from the client. Then I can actually build the thing. So, not much work at all :-)

I had the same thing! Well, it kept the style, just removed the customisation. After the third time I printed a copy of the relevant page to put it back, so I wouldn't have to remember.

Now the printing is a very good idea. Thanks! Finally back to normal, so I need to remember which settings I have just in case.

And bon voyage, hon. Have a fantabulous trip!

Evolving intelligence...?

It's not the first time it's screwed things up. An earlier post of yours did the same thing but then it righted itself once that particular entry moved on to the next page.

I've been saying for a long time now that computers have already evolved into a new species independent of human input. It certainly seems that way...

*g* As a computer person, I should be trying to pursuade you that no, computers haven't got far enough to be independent of human input.

*snort* Yeah, right.

Damn things always seem to do things that nobody expects.

I have no idea what LJ was doing on Thursday - the problem for me began with one of thegrrrl2000's posts and seemed to spread to the entire journal. Grrr. Obviously the LJ computers, at least, have developed independent thought processes. Saying nothing about intellegence.

Should have been thegrrrl2002 there. D'oh!

Oh, yeah, me too on Wedesday or Thursday. One of those days with a 'y' in, anyway.

And yeah, hun, it is 00:10.

And yeah, I have been up for about 21 hours. So far.

Think I might write for a bit.

See you later?

Terry.
