Re: I have a problem with this:

She learned web design all on her own -- and taught me some things.

She sounds like me then...

 

[Jenn]

I don't know your age, but if you are younger than 50, that is
understandable.

I am 51 ... so close enuf?

 

[freemont]

LOL funny

LOL This must be your third computer. Eh? LOL

You don't seem to want to stay in anyone's killfille, Jennifer from
Oklahoma. LOL I think I'll remove the other two entries. LOL

 

[freemont]

But, like all bigots, he will cling to his bigotry no matter what, and
he will keep repeating it at every opportunity.

Since profwebsolutions.com is registered to a Jennifer Porter in Tulsa, I
presume it to be a person of female sex and feminine gender.

Not that it has a damn thing to do with anything concerning this
newsgroup, mind you.

I'd also bet a shiny dime that the person photographed in her flyer is
the author. Just a hunch.

 

[dorayme]

Me too. That is the way it should be.

That may be so but it is clearly not what a lot of people think,
look at how much everyone is enjoying this thread, it is like the
recent rains in Queensland.

 

[freemont]

This also is not a chatroom. LOL

LOL I was thinking about that - that Jenn from Oklahoma would seem much,
much more at "home" in one of those Web forums where mostly kids go. LOL

 

[freemont]

Now get back to only discussing code and obey Beauregard!

LOL Nope, no trolling there. LOL No, sireee. LOL

Tell me, if you want to buy tickets to something and there is a line of
20 men waiting, do you go to the end of the line or try to jump ahead of
everyone...

I look at the very front of the line and scan the characters and
pick someone that looks a little friendly and maybe forgetful. I
go up to them and greet them enthusiastically and recall old
times together or with known third party friends... Before the
time the animated conversation establishes that neither of us
really know each other, I am standing at the ticket counter and
in seemingly absent minded fashion buy the ticket and continue on
in...

It works quite well. Sure there are times I end up in hospital
with the effects of trampling-and-being-beaten-by-crowd but life
is full of risks...

I was pretty young in the 60's so I know now why I've never heard of
him!

Sure. 'Course there *are* some people in the world who are in denial
about other people named "Shelly" except, perhaps, in California.

 

[Neredbojias]

Correct on all counts. Don't feel bad about the Bar Mitzvah. It was
a small family-only affair . his best, IMO, was the telephone
routine where he was trying to get the child to have her mother come
to the phone.

I do vaguely recall seeing him on a few variety shows although I was
more interested in westerns back then.

 

[Neredbojias]

-

lol not older... I'm younger... I was being facetious .. joking
with him.

Oh, I see. Of course I thought I saw before, but life, after all, is a
real seesaw at times. Anyway, being facetious is better than being
assinine, so bravo! (I think.)

 

[Jenn]

yes.. I have 3 computers .. I was on my laptop earlier.

What do you mean having to reload the page? That is what AJAX is
for. It sends a message (via javscript) to a server side (php) script
which returns stuff that the javascript used to update a portion of
the page.
You don't reload the entire page.

Well, yes, such means can be utilized sometimes. However, my usage of
php generally involves a major php-driven dom restructuring that
possibly *could be* be done with javascript/ajax but would be rather
awkward to impliment via that alone.

The beauty of php is that all that back end code is not visible to
the user. HTML on the other hand is easily plagiarized.


Happy doesn't even begin to describe it. Have you read "Candide"?

Do I sound like a masochist?

Well, this _is_ the best of all possible worlds.

Well, I can think of some improvements. For instance, a sex-slave or 2
wouldn't hurt. And money, lots and lots of money! Even the simpler
things like a heated toilet seat would make me happier than I am now.

(PS: I hope I didn't depress you.)

 

[Jenn]

I'd also bet a shiny dime that the person photographed in her flyer is
the author. Just a hunch.

It's a photo of a friend of my daughter, used with permission...

btw ... I am not attempting to get past your killfile. I was using my
laptop this afternoon while I was running the scheduled scan on my primary
computer.

"Easy peasy"? What the hell is that? Do you *really* expect anyone to
take seriously someone who goes around saying "Easy peasy"? Harrumph.

I coulda said "THAT was easy!".

We just got back from going to National Train Day at Los Angeles Union
Station - my girlfriend, her two kids, two other friends and my son.
When I got home, I wished I could take off my feet, not just my shoes!
It was a lot of fun, but boy, am I tired!

How about the computer chair of your dreams?

I am saying, as I said the first time, that that version is a DEVELOPMENT
SNAPSHOT. As in, "not complete."

It /works/ under IE.. just horribly slowly. Try it with any version of
Firefox from 1.5 on.. that is much better.

well.. I've lost your link to it in all these posts... but I get the idea of
what you're doing with the site that I could view.

What I am expecting? I had no expectations. You asked to see the most
complicated site that we put together, and I answered.

If you choose to comment on it or critique it, I'm always open for
comment about my sites. Anything usability (which is my primary concern)
to bug reports (which is very high as well) to asthetics (lowest concern).

I think you could probably re-arrange things better so you don't have to
leave the page in order to, say.. look at specific items.... If you could
post the link again, I'll take another look and open the 2nd link in FF.

 

[Jenn]

In fairness, Jenn is a female name. (But then, again, so usually is
Shelly )

Could easily have been (or may be) a last name, or an abbreviation for a
last name (jensen = jen[se]n) or even a nickname. A friend of my had a
grandmother named Homer, I had an uncle named Shelly, I went to school
with a boy named Shannon, I seem to remember a Major League Pitcher named
Christy. And we're not even talking about foreign names yet.

Then my name could have stood for the french version ... Jeanette ... or
Jenny ... or Jennine ...

I can sympathize... my feet have been hurting all day today... been shopping
and bought flowers to pot up...
