Errr...Moist Von Lipwig.
Got tickets to see an adaptation of Mort tomorrow - apparently Stephen Briggs was involved so it might be decent, although I'm always a bit wary.
Was supposed to see 'Return to the Forbidden Planet' tonight but it got cancelled just after the last minute (technical difficulties) so have traded for Saturday.

[-- never mind -- would have been a spoiler, which I realized too late ]

We have a spoiler tag for just that purpose.

Now you're telling me!!!

Neat - Thanks

I could go back to using my brain, but it told me just yesterday that lying on a nicely cushioned shelve is much more comfortable then inside my head and that it dont want to come back, thanks so much. Pff, I dont need no stinking brain

Hmmm... Tirsales' spoiler is "error on page." Wow, never saw that coming.

JSWolf · 08-08-2008, 01:52 PM

Just converted Witches Abroad This means I have two more Discworld books ready to read after Moving Pictures.

I can't get it to display either, which is odd, because when I look at the message using my Super Moderator Powers, it looks like everything is set up correctly.

I still have the "Element of surprise" (its a quite rare artifact found only in obscure dungeons)

@nekokami: I tested several different possible bbcodes for spoilers, but could find none working - neither in IE nor in FF (havent tested Opera) :'(

--edit: At least now you can only read the text if you really want to (and have a look in the code)

tirsales · 08-08-2008, 02:34 PM

BTW: The following JS-Code (among others) would work:

Code:

if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[6].style.display != '') {
  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[6].style.display = ''; 
  this.innerText = ''; 
  this.value = 'Hide'; 
} else { 
  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[6].style.display = 'none'; 
  this.innerText = ''; 
  this.value = 'Show'; 
}

The original "addressing" is wrong.

I was wondering that, myself.

tirsales, the problem has been reported to Alex and we'll see if he can work his magic to fix it. I'll pass your coding suggestion along to him.

Um... I'm currently re-reading Lords and Ladies. I'm enjoying it, but not as much as my re-read of Witches Abroad.

RickyMaveety · 08-08-2008, 06:39 PM

I'm still on "Mort." Although, I didn't get much reading done today. However, I did get a new corporation set up, and got an estate plan off to a client. Made (ANOTHER) trip to the hardware store (MaMaw says I am "wearing out the road), and got involved in yet another Constitutional debate with people who (however well meaning) have never really studied the document.

Now, I'm going to go paint some more cabinets.

Oh ... correction .... I'm going to feed the cats and THEN paint some more cabinets. Erk ... just realized the water guy never showed up today. This is not good.
