I don't have much of an eye for design, but I spent the weekend toying with an "old & worn parchment scrolls" website theme. Here's my test page: files.thornton2.com/test/index

I needed to do something like this because, though I've got CSS 2 pretty nailed down, I'm very rusty with CSS 3.

So, where was I? (Work +++ | Networking ~ ) 

@tahajin That is awesome! :3

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz I think I still have a business customer using cables in that condition.

I forgot it's spooky month, & we're supposed to choose scary names. It's not my thing, but it seems the scary name "MS FrontPage Server Extensions" is still available.

I think for my website of disparate data, I want an effect where the content is on old frayed-edge parchment paper. However, I want it to adapt to the window size naturally, & I remembered that 12 years ago I made just such a design.

The trouble? It's a very tacky '90s-ish design both in appearance (granular, aliased gifs everywhere) and in HTML structure (layout tables two levels deep, with tabular data mixed in).

Linus Tech Tips 

Some episodes of LTT are actually informative. Then you have stupidly dangerous episodes like this, sort of like Electroboom vs. Home Improvement but not quite as funny, which are just begging for a follow-up video announcing that the studio caught fire because of an ignorantly half-assed lithium ion battery pack. youtube.com/watch?v=KUmlCH7bTO

Nazis getting fired 

Sing along now

"If you're a Nazi and you're fired,
It's your fault!
If you're a Nazi and you're fired,
It's your fault!
If you were spotted in the mob,
and you lost your fucking job,
You're a Nazi, and you're fired!
It's your fault!"

ruining fast food with vore kink 

I'd cry that I'm not into vore, but one of the jokes I've run with is that my phoenix form often ended up as deep fried original and extra-crispy pieces in buckets from KFP (Kentucky Fried Phoenix). Which is okay because phoenixes always regenerate, but also not okay because sometimes it happens early, while still inside of KFP customers.

ruining a song with vore kink 

"Sweet dreams are made of this."
Who am I to disagree?
I've traveled the world and the seven seas.
Everybody's looking for something.

Some of them want to taste you.
Some of them want to be your food.
Some of them want to baste you.
Some of them want inside of you.

@ticky Computers small enough to sit *on* a desk & not *be* a desk in its own right, & affordable enough to be in someone's home, had just hit the market, & 2018 sounded as far off into the 21st Century as anything the Jetsons promised. Mystifying, very mystifying, but believable.
