[log] Recreating MS Windows Help Popups
Wednesday, November 26th, 2008
Overlib [example] is nice enough, I guess, but I still think the ideal popup behaviour for DEFINITIONS is the example set my the old microsoft help (mshtml) model….
******************************
HERE’S HOW MS HELP BEHAVES:
if you point at link, nothing happens. (changes to HAND icon).
if you PAUSE at link, a small TITLE box comes up : “View definition”
if you CLICK on the link, the overlaid window OVERLAPS THE WORD and STAYS THERE
until … YOU CLICK ANYWHERE !!!!!!!!!!!
(click on the popup, click on the main page, click outside the window…. anything)
THE WINDOW CLOSES ON LEFT CLICK __AND_ RIGHT CLICK.
THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO THIS “CLICK ANYWHERE” behaviour is if you click
on a link in the POPUP itself. In this case, it opens the new definition in the exact
same location.
Free Web Server

It used to be, back in the day, that when you bought Windows, you owned Windows. Not so much any more. Now there’s the home edition, the super-duper home edition, the professional version (as opposed to the amateur version?), and so on. Each has a different price, and a different set of features, with a direct correlation between price and functionality. One of the features that they decided, in their wisdom, was an “extra” was that of a local web server. There’s no such thing any more as the Personal Web Server that used to ship with Win98; now you have to buy the super-duper version of Windows to get a copy of IIS, the big-deal Windows web server. What if you want to create an intranet to use locally, or even a low-volume web site for the real world to access? Time for third-party applications.
Abyss Web Server is a powerful web server that doesn’t require a high-priced version of Windows to run–it’ll even run on Win95. In fact, it doesn’t require Windows at all, since it’s also available for OS X, Linux, and FreeBSD.
It’s easy to set up and configure, with a browser-based front end. It supports server-side includes, custom error pages, URL rewriting, and many more features. The Windows version even handles ASP.NET pages. With add-ons, it supports PHP, Perl, Python, and a bunch of database backends.
Abyss Web Server is free for personal use. If you want to add extra functionality or deploy it in a production environment, you’ll want to upgrade to the paid version.

Hey, Boxtorrents , your site’s broken (css)
Saturday, August 30th, 2008To boxtorrents.com , and everyone else who thinks css divs for your Right Bar Ad Content is so great…
From a cross-browser standpoint, your website is broken. Here’s what it looks like:
(click for full size)
Here’s a simple solution: put your “float right” ad “iframe” (and div) OUTSIDE your main body “div”!!
EXAMPLE:
<body>
<div style="float: right;margin-top: 148px;">
<!--<script type="text/javascript" src="http://adserving.cpxinteractive.com/st?ad_type=ad&ad_size=120x600§ion=333953&pop_nofreqcap=1"></script>-->
<script type="text/Javascript">
// <![CDATA[
$(document).ready(function() {
document.getElementById("skyscraper").src="http://adserving.cpxinteractive.com/st?ad_type=iframe&ad_size=120x600§ion=333953&pop_nofreqcap=1";
});
// ]]>
</script>
<iframe id="skyscraper" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" style="width: 120px; height: 600px;"></iframe>
<div style="color: rgb(180, 180, 180);text-align: center;">-ADVERTISEMENT-</div> </div>
<div style="width: 1104px;margin: auto;">

Translating The Elder Scrolls IV : Oblivion into English
Sunday, March 23rd, 2008[Submitted by Laisren, March 2008]
| What the game says | …actually means … | in English |
|---|---|---|
| “Drain <X>” (a spell effect) | …actually means… | “Temporarily Lower <X> ” (where <X> is an Attribute or Skill). |
| “Damage <X>” (a spell effect) | …actually means… | “Permanently Lower <X>” (where <X> is an Attribute or Skill). |
| “Absorb <X>” (a spell effect) | …actually means… | “temporarily Steal <X> from target” (where <X> is an Attribute or Skill, in Points or Skill-Levels). The effect could also be thought of as “Suck from Target” or “Drain from Target”. |
| “Grab” | …actually means… | “Manipulate Object or Corpse” (”Grab” is a user control. See “Grab” section below for details.) |
| Shock Shield | …actually means… | (a spell or magic effect) [Shield] magic effect + (plus) [Resist Shock] magic effect |
| Soul Trap | …actually means… | (a spell) Any of the following: [Capture Magic Essence] or [Trap Essence] or [Spirit Capture] or [Spirit Energy Capture] |
| Soul Gem | …actually means… | (an item that recharges Magical Items) [Spirit Stone] or [Magic Essence Stone] |
” Grab “
One of the most glaring omissions from the documentation for the game ‘ES 4:Oblivion’ is for the control labeled “Grab”. This does not mean, as implied, some sort of grapple (”grab opponent”)… rather, by pointing at an item or corpse in-game, then pressing and holding the Grab button, one can move an item around. There is no animation of using your character’s hand(s) to touch the item, so it functions like a sort of telekinesis.
Once you’ve discovered how to move or throw items, it does make for some fun little “mini-games”, as you can play with items (or corpses, if that’s your thing) while experimenting with the game’s physics.
(I highly recommend that you experiment with how items behave when you manipulate them; note item-collisions, the effects of gravity and friction, “grab points” on items, et cetera.)
A general note on abbreviation: “TES4″ is a sometimes used, but improper, abbreviation of “The Elder Scrolls IV : Oblivion”. The proper abbreviation is “E.S. 4″ or “ES 4″ (as you don’t abbreviate the word “The”). You could also use “ES 4:Oblivion”.
