Coloring in Schoolgirls All Day and Why the Edda is So Darn Cool
Posted by erin at September 5, 2003 05:33 PMSo Hal loaned me the Edda, which is about Norse mythology. So far it's great. It's like a treasure-trove of fantasy names, because it's filled with passages like, "And from the Earth sprang a dozen dwarves, and these were their names..." It's got a lot of Tolkien source-material, you can tell. Like the name Gandalf, taken from a dwarf, of which the literal translation is "Sorcerer Elf". I had to read through several more pages of dwarves names before I hit Gloin, father of Gimli.
Also, at work I've been coloring in schoolgirl uniforms all day. And by that I mean making color keys and not actually coloring. And by all day I mean about half an hour. The rest of the day I've been making color keys for other stuff. But there are some schoolgirls in the episode we're working on.

You left a comment on my blog on June 10th. I will now respond to said comment.
I'm assuming I was still using the Iria blog at the time of your comment, so yes, I did design that myself. I thiefed the background from a wallpaper site though. Cut it all up nice and made the blog out of it. I guess that's kind of cheating.

Way to answer the backlog, there, Whir.
My blog backgrounds have been uneditied wallpaper for quite some time. I liked the way your frames used to be set up - I mean, it was a table, and not frames. Right?

Yup, frames with a bunch of CSS stuff. I have the template if you want to hack it apart.

I'm not too fond of frames... and I'm not really sure what CSS is, so that might be a bad idea.

CSS is the language that stylesheets are written in. IE, that bit of code that made your weblog's text fuschia, for example.

There's a lot I don't know about stylesheets. As far as I can tell, my text is fuschia thanks to HTML and assembly language.
Also, who the hell are you?

Unfortunately, it's Celine Dion's band.

I'm pretty sure we've met before, Erin. At a dinner party at G.'s house. You can blame Sam for the linkage, though.

Oh! Are you that school-teacher guy...? Or the other guy.

The other guy. The one who likes LEXX.

LEXX? Rock on. The most pointless show every to exist. And yet I watched it also.
Anyhow, CSS is really easy.
And when I said frames, I meant tables. Your site is frames heavy. Not sure if they're iframes or real frames. Too tired to look.
The main part of the template was a table with three cells. The bottom left cell and the right cell contained iframes to scroll through the links and blog just like yours does.
My goal was to make the table short enough that it wouldn't cause anyone's main browser window to have to be scrolled. Not only was that pointless, but I failed. I thought it looked really cool though.

Back to grammar school, me!

Watch out for the Grammar Police, that's all I'm sayin'.
I think these are iframes, but recently they stopped driving IE mad in OSX. Mysterious!
