Just a fragment... (and let's see if I can make this work)

If anyone's in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex over this weekend and is interested in killing some time, ConDFW 2008 starts Friday afternoon. Guests of
Honor this year are Peter S. Beagle, Donato Giancola, and Thomas Monteleone. Details can be found at http://www.condfw.org.
It's cheap, relaxed, and you can buy Peter Beagle a beer.

Interesting that somebody on the Times of London staff has at least a clue as to how some of the more passionate otaku think:

Quote:Purists will probably be more outraged by the ‘future New York’ setting of the forthcoming movie rather than the ‘future Tokyo’ of the original Manga, but as long as they can get that big red motorcycle right, it’ll probably still be worth a look.

Okay, some people wondered what I was talking about in the current updates thread, when I said this:

Quote:
Okay if you want to spout garbage and fanon make a thread for it and people with actual experience with the canon can smack you down properly for
blithering on about how bad an one dimension berserker Akane was in some nth derivitive fanfiction you read somewhere. That your telling us about sweet,
innocent, perfert Shampoo only makes you dig the bad fanon hole your digging deeper. Seriously, its like listening to fangirls babble on about Sepheroth.




At the very least include an update in your posting to the update thread.

I can barely afford to play WoW and CoH both. There's no way in hell I can add a third MMORPG to my budget.

SO WHY THE HELL DOES CRYPTIC HAVE TO DUMP THIS ON US?!

...If this game pans out, I might have to dump City. Or maybe play them both on alternate months...?

Yeah, I'm still working on the prototype for the new website look. They're almost ready for prime-time, except I have two questions that I'm hoping someone here can answer.

The first is a CSS question: I want to set the link colors for a style -- specifically the style that does the white text for my copyright notice, so any embedded links in the notice don't do the blue/red thing on the dark green background. I've tried a bunch of things that I found in my research that looked right, but turned out not to be. The style is currently:

/* Define a class for the copyright notice. */
p.copyright {
vertical-align:bottom;
}

Now I've tried

linkcolor:#fff;
vlinkcolor:#fff;

in there but it hasn't worked. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Question two is a (D)HTML query. I want to put a simple Amazon.com search box in the same sidebar. The code from Amazon is very simple:

http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=accessdeni ... =qs1&f=ifr

but nothing comes from this. I've tested the src URL by plugging it directly into a browser and gotten the search box, so it's not a broken link. Can anyone give me a clue what might be going on here?

Thanks!

I just saw a link to this in another forum and thought I'd share it.

well, crush-worthy.

I'm actually surprised that Valles hasn't heard of her. She reminds me of Rider -- but as a real life person. Crush is mixed martial artist Gina
Carano. She's been a fighter on the MMA circuits, a trainer on Fight Girls teaching muay thai, and now, of course AG. She kicks tons of ass on the AG joust
yet seems down to earth.

Her mouth guard smirk just makes me laugh though.

Here's a youtube link to Gina Carano's fight against a female Thai boxer (pot. NSFW):

Ouch!! O_O Of course, not much better to face her in the joust either:

G'day folks! (^_^)

I've been in frank envy of the PPD Hardsuit armour designs since I first saw them in the Brickstown Safeguard mission, so a while back I commissioned Phil
Moy to do a redesign of the MechaDeuce battlesuit and incorporate some of the design features of the PPD Hardsuits.

And so, I give you, MechaDeuce Mark III - POWER ON!





Oh my GOD I so want this costume in game. *sigh*. ^_^

Later!
