Playing with Style

Cascading Style Sheets

I've been playing around a bit with the site's cascading style sheets. For the longest time, I've only ever used CSS2.1, which is compatible with just about every browser out there. Well, a lot of the new browsers support CSS3, at least in part. Well, if you're using one of these new browsers (Firefox 3.5 or newer, Chrome 4 or newer, ChromePlus 2 or newer, Safari 4 or newer, and Opera 9.5 or newer), and you're reading this, you're seeing some of the updated style.

I Really Like This Series

Stargate SG-1...well, all of them

So, I just finished watching all 10 seasons today. No, I didn't watch all 10 seasons today, but I did watch episode 20 of season 10, having watched all episodes in order over the past several months. Watching Unending is always bittersweet. I got choked up at the last scene when the episode first aired. I got choked up when I watched it again via the DVD set Genevieve got me. I got choked up again today. I can't think of another show or series that has had this affect on me; not even Star Trek TNG's All Good Things.

I think I'll go through them all again when I finish watching the rest of the Stargate shows. I have been watching the first three seasons of Atlantis concurrently with the last three of SG-1, and I'll start Universe when I'm done with Atlantis, just like when the series ran. I'll put the SG-1 movies in there, too, at about the time they fit in the Stargate universe.

I was even thinking about Stargate Universe after watching Unending, and I found myself thinking that I hope someone decides to pick up the series and restart it, because it just didn't finish.

A Christmas Hymn to Ponder

Sing lullaby! Lullaby baby, now reclining, sing lullaby!
Hush, do not wake the infant King.
Angels are watching, stars are shining
Over the place where He is lying:
Sing lullaby!

Sing lullaby! Lullaby baby, now a-sleeping, sing lullaby!
Hush, do not wake the infant King.
Soon will come sorrow with the morning,
Soon will come bitter grief and weeping:
Sing lullaby!

Sing lullaby! Lullaby baby, now a-dozing, sing lullaby!
Hush, do not wake the infant King.
Soon comes the cross, the nails, the piercing,
Then in the grave at last reposing;
Sing lullaby!

Sing lullaby! Lullaby! Is the babe awaking? Sing lullaby!
Hush, do not stir the infant King.
Soon will come Easter, gladsome morning.
Conquering death, its bondage breaking:
Sing lullaby!
"Sing Lullaby," a basque carol paraphrased by Sabine Baring-Gould, also known as "The Infant King."

That's what it's all about. Not the oooh-ing and ahhh-ing at a little baby in trough. He's come as infant, yes, but He's come to die and rise again for you. That's the reason for the season (which, by the way, isn't here yet).

The Places My Mind Goes

Flight Tracker App

So, I'm looking at flight tracking apps for my phone. I'm reading the "What's New" section for FlightAware Flight Tracker, and there's a line there that reads, "Please report crashes if they occur." Now, I know they are referring to the app, if the app crashes, but I couldn't help but think that maybe, just maybe, they are referring to a flight being tracked.

Where'd Everything Go?

It'll be here...just wait.

Famwagner.com was lost in a server migration, so I've had to work on restoring it. Lazy ol' me hasn't been downloading the weekly backups (you know, I have been doing other things, too), so the latest I had was from late August. I can recover the entries since then, but it'll take a little more time.

Everything else around here should be working just fine, though.

Disputation of Doctor Martin Luther

on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences

Out of love for the truth and the desire to bring it to light, the following propositions will be discussed at Wittenberg, under the presidency of the Reverend Father Martin Luther, Master of Arts and of Sacred Theology, and Lecturer in Ordinary on the same at that place. Wherefore he requests that those who are unable to be present and debate orally with us, may do so by letter.
