Bordered Box (solid)
I like that box with the solid border. How do you do that?With inline style. The DIV tag.
Copy and paste (or type) this code in your blog or HTML page.
<div style="width:200px;text-align:left; padding:10px;background-color:ivory; border:1px solid maroon;font-size:12px;"> YOUR TEXT GOES HERE </div>
That's an Ivory background with a maroon border.
More named colors are here (opens in a new window) and even easier copy-and-paste for bloggers is here (opens in a new window).
Note: Some tools insert a line break that trashes the copy-and-paste code by inserting a line break<br>. Delete the line breaks and the code above will work.
Playing with Named Colors
Named colors are fun to play with. We don't use them in the day job. Only the hexidecimal colors that look like this #FF6600 or this #f60 can be used in professional applications that are open to a wide audience. We still stick to the 216 browser safe colors.
The named colors work in Internet Explorer and that's about as far as the guarantee goes.
Let's Play
Here's three named colors: seashell, snow, and mintcream.
Notice we did not use the word OULIPO in this example. What is Oulipo? Look down a few posts.
Look out the window and snap a picture
That's the neighbors house. On our street just about everyone flies the US Flag. One house alternates seasonal flags with the US Flag. Another neighbor replaces it with a black flag when the Raiders lose a game. We get high winds here and one flag is wrapped up in a bunch right now. That's how it goes here on our little street in the somewhat rural area of West Sacramento, California.
Happy Friday and

A Conspiracy: O-U-L-I-P-O
Conspiracy: Use the word "Oulipo" in your blog. Caterina, Waggish, and Jim make mention of Oulipo today. And we saw loowho use it only minutes after we posted. Kathryn used it in her blog and defined it for us. Diane is playing along and so isLiz. We noticed that Cindy at loo who even joined the conspiracy. The Dude said "It was against my better judgement but I love a good conspiracy". AKMA said it and while we haven't peeked in over there yet we think he already knew the meaning of the word before posting it. See what you started Jim. A conspiracy.
Maybe with our help (and yours) this will give rise to a word burst.
Friday: A 30th Birthday!

Today Theo tells us about James Kavanaugh's piece
There Are Men Too Gentle To Live Among Wolves Among Wolves, published in 1970 and still ringing true.
"There are men too gentle to live among wolves --
Who prey upon them with IBM eyes
And sell their hearts and guts for martinis at noon.
There are men too gentle for a savage world
Who dream instead of snow and children and Halloween
And wonder if the leaves will change their color soon..."
We found deep meaning in it today. Especially today. Thanks Theo. We always forget to say that. May we color in the words now. We brought crayons.

Method 1
Dashed Border: Quick and Dirty...
Copy and paste (or type) this code in your Web page or Blog:
<img src="images/v21.gif" style="border: 1px dashed Black;" width="50" height="50">
Replace the image name with the name of your image
yourpicture.gif.
<img src="images/v21.gif" style="border: 1px dashed Black;" width="50" height="50">
The text is too tiny to read but it will work.
Method 2
Dashed Border: Using Inline Style...
You can add the
style="border: 1px dashed Black;"
to your
IMG tag like this.
<img src="images/v21.gif" style="border: 1px dashed Black;" >
Method 3
Dashed Border: Using CSS Style Sheet...
You can put the style in your external style sheet
.dashed {border: 1px dashed Black;}
and then refer to the image like this:
<img src="images/v21.gif" class="dashed">

Sounds of Silence
New Subway Walls and Tenement Halls
We're off to find the lyrics to Sounds of Silence. Maybe Mom was right, perhaps it does have a deep social meaning, unlike Dylan whose words were simply words not meant to be analyzed and synthesized (unless you were smoking some wacky weed or in Mom's English class where she forced students to write about Dylan's lyrics). It was somewhat clear why she had students write about Dylan's words; she was struggling to understand a deeper meaning herself.
But, I never really caught on to the Simon and Garfunkel song and today it makes me curious. Could it have been about the perception of the world by the deaf? Or, are we all partially deaf? I remember lyrics like this -
"the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls..."
"Best Of Simon And Garfunkel"
Sound of Silence
Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.
"Fools" said I,"You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, "The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls."
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
Peace Mom.
Wish you were still with us.
I finally get it. We have new
subway walls
and tenement halls
now.
We call them blogs.

Surprise Images
Dude, you need an image
 
|
We asked dwitchy if we could cut out some little seasonal squares from her page to use for surprise images. We will lift little 50 x 50 pixel pieces from dwitchy and add to the collection of surprise images.
Each image is about 500 bytes. Not much cost in bandwidth. The browser has already loaded the five images. Now each time we reuse the same image it costs us nothing in download time. It's free.
Copy and Paste the Surprise Image
We store the surprise images atwww.mandarindesign.com/images/v1.gif where you can direct link or right-click to copy.
The images are named v1, v2, v3, and up to V25.
Copy and paste (or type) this in your Blog or Web page.
<img src="http://www.mandarindesign.com/images/v21.gif" width="50" height="50" >
You can change the number 21 to any number between 1 and 25.
Testing the surprise image...
Yep, that is number 21 so we made at least 21 small images, maybe more. We're off to make some more.
Reusing the Image is Free
The images are now loaded in cache. We can reuse the same image without any bandwidth cost.

The Moment of Seduction
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2003
PaulKatcher.com is a Blog site that uses the moment of seduction effectively and literally. We use the phrase "the moment of seduction" in reference to the moment of entry into a Blog, Web site, or application.
When designing new software our goal is to seduce the intended audience up front. For example, an American may be seduced by a page or form that is designed using the color of money, the colors in a US dollar bill. For other audiences, we might use an entertaining splash page while code is being loaded.
Paul demonstrates the technique by using the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2003 image to seduce his audience.
It's working

Is your Web page loading too fast? Want to slow it down a bit? Add a Tag-board with JavaScript that runs at another site and then add a counter with JavaScript that runs at another site.
Your page is now dependent upon the speed of your host, the Tag board server, and the counter server. If any go down or are running slow then your page will slow down. A quick cure for those pages you wrote that load so lightening fast.

Happy Monday
We love this Monday, it's a holiday for us -- President's Day. Are you having a nice Monday?
Waiting...
Yesterday afternoon when the Taterbug had not arrived the sun came out and it started raining. Since I was watching for a car anyway I snapped a pic of the beautiful rain.
But behind me was a rainbow. I wondered if someone had prayed to their God who makes rainbows.
Snapped a few pics but they weren't showing up so instead I just enjoyed the moment and the beauty thinking that even if Taterbug didn't show up I could make it through the dissappointment.
Outside, smiling at the rainbow that someone's God made, I felt Rob behind me, a gentle touch.
It was my Taterbug arms ready for a hug
Thank you for the r a i n b o w
ROY G BIV
The colors of the rainbow. To say rainbow in color
copy and paste this code in your Blog or Web page.
Taterbug is Tall
15 years old, 6 feet tall
We get to see the Taterbug today, my son, the joy of my life. He's with his biological mother now and I still think of him as my little boy.
Making this picture required choices I didn't want to make.
Exit without saving? No, save my bug.
Are you sure you want to delete? No.
Quality low, medium, or high? Stop it!
Transfer in progress...
Transfer complete
And that is how it went with my baby. His mother didn't want him. I did. He was leaving for Israel and as the adoptive mother said "he already has a name that fits". Nathaniel. Nathan. Words I cannot even type now. Long story longer...he was my child until age 7. He thought he grew in my tummy. Then suddenly one day, no warning, his mother took him from my arms.
A mother can't ever know which child she loves the most. We love them all in different ways. But, without hesitation I can say that Nathan was and will always be the joy of my life. We love many in our lifetime: mothers, fathers, husbands, sisters, and daughters. Nathan is above all and will always be.
Nervous about seeing him. What do I say? His voice has changed and he looks a lot like his father who wore jeans sized 28x38. He was a gentle man like Nathan. He cried when signing the papers to send Nathan to Israel. But, he cried for him leaving while I was crying because I wanted him to stay. He did stay and I thought he would be safe with us forever.

Valentine Tell All
Love
Happy Valentine's Day
A secret we usually keep tucked away... but we saw a few stories today and would like to share ours. We didn't meet online like some others we read about.It was a Newspaper Ad that went something like this -
My daughter called and left a message like this -
She left my name and phone number! Brat.
He called (he's very polite like that). We met for a Valentine brunch at the Hyatt (I'm very polite like that). That was eight years ago. We married shortly thereafter. He is perfect. Everyone loves him. We live in humble peace and harmony.
How did you do that?
How to do the text overlay? Relative Positioning and Overlapping TextThe box? Box: Bordered Solid We used the color #CC9999 and the popular background color that is easy to remember background color #F5F5F5: a very light gray.
The man? He's mine.
