२८ जुलै, २००७

"If the truth doesn’t set you free, maybe being a crazy bastard will."

"The American psycho meets the German kook."

UPDATE: The movie is "Rescue Dawn," directed by Werner Herzog. I talk about it a bit in this new vlog.

reader_iam म्हणाले...: Surprisingly creepy, that youtube video. Huh.; २८/७/०७, १:५९ PM
Bissage म्हणाले...: Hey, Maxine! Some of us REFUSE to cut and paste a link.

You'll get all the value under the curve if you do it this way:

*a href=http://maxinesplace.blogspot.com/>Maxine's Place*/a>

Just replace "*" with "<".

reader_iam म्हणाले...: I think Maxine has been told that before.

I think it's part of her shtick that she doesn't do it.; २८/७/०७, २:१६ PM
Bissage म्हणाले...: My loss, I guess. Oh, well.; २८/७/०७, २:२२ PM
Gahrie म्हणाले...: The best part of the video at Maxine's link is her comments underneath. What are you, an interior decorator?; २८/७/०७, ४:१३ PM
Bissage म्हणाले...: What follows must be read out loud, in the style of William Shatner, for full effect:

Gahrie’s . . . comment . . . tempting.

Must . . . not . . .weaken.

Must . . . resist . . . temptation.

Must . . . not . . . cut . . . and . . . paste . . . Maxine's . . . link.

Maxine Weiss म्हणाले...: Oh is that how it's done? I had know idea. I really need help with links. I've been begging for years for someone to teach me html language.

I'll try.

Yes, that video----ineffectual, lazy mother who couldn't care less. Wealthy show-biz father--away from home. Daughter relatively normal , 'blue' room notwithstanding.

The typical family of today.; २८/७/०७, ६:४९ PM
Bissage म्हणाले...: Oh, Maxine! I'm so glad.

And I'm so sorry we quarreled.

Please, forgive me.

Love, Bissage!

(You've made me so very happy.)

Really!; २८/७/०७, ७:०५ PM
अनामित म्हणाले...: I'm with Bissage. Cutting and pasting links is so 90's.

I know, I know, it's Maxine's thing, but....

If you can't deal with all that "href" garbage, there is a pretty cool extension for Firefox, known as ScribeFire (formerly "Performancing"), that does it for you. No more keeping track of right and left carets, no more groping for the "=" sign.

No, all you do is select the text you want to make into a live link, copy and paste the URL into the handy drop window, click "OK," and voilá, you've got a live link. You do have to remember to paste the HTML version of your comment into the comment window, but you can easily click between a plain text and HTML version of the emanations of your fevered brain.

ScribeFire has its problems, but it's a whole lot better than wrangling spaghetti-like URL's.

Plus, nothing says "loser" like an un-linked URL. You just know the person lives in a trailer, has dial-up, and is using an 8-year-old Windows 98 box for a computer.; २८/७/०७, १०:४२ PM
