FINE THEN, html 5.wtf, if you've dropped the attribute in favor of CSS, I'LL JUST DO IT WITH NESTED TABLES INSTEAD THEN. SO THERE, STYLESHEETS. HAHAHAHA.

(if you want to see, LIVE!, me relearning all the html I haven't used since about 2002, watch my rapidly altering friendspage layout and laugh.)


Wow, journalfen is changing. The colors! The favicon! The syndicated feeds! *spins in circles*


And apparently you can do custom moodthemes with a basic paid account now! Hurrah!

HTML tables = The devil. THE DEVIL, you hear me? I would slog through a thousand badly-planned stylesheets rather than deal with a table. The table directives in wiki markup aren't bad, though.

And I hate the webpages that have extraneous style attributes in every tag, and badly-done ones mess up my old version of Opera a lot so I sometimes turn them off while browsing anyway.

I'm quite careful to keep my CSS standards compliant, basically out of sheer bloody-mindedness.

favorite programming language is still TI-83

My favorite programming language is "bribe a CS guy to do it." I'm an engineer. You don't want me writing code.

My sister's an engineer. She spends basically her whole day maintaining 20-year-old legacy code, when she's not trying to actually use it to control equipment. She's decided she want to be an archeologist instead.

Oh god, it's true. Engineers should never be allowed to write code.

Oh, hey, speaking of my sister! [journalfen.net profile] kadath, meet [journalfen.net profile] stellar_dust, one comment down. She's also a rocket scientist! (*She* thinks my nested tables are 'bloody awesome'.)

Oh god, it's genetic.

The Daily Show and Colbert Report are unexpectedly reruns tonight. This makes me sad.

>>HTML tables = the devil

I know! Did you see my mood for this entry? But S1 styles are all heavy on the nested tables anyway, so might as well be a sheep as a goat!

I'm just learning this "S1" thing. I'm totally going to break my journal. It'll be great!
