And this is the new and vastly improved Mozilla Thunderbird 0.7 mail client, also with Charmel... 

I downloaded the new version of Mozilla Firefox, 0.9, yesterday. Here's what it looks like with the Charmel theme (IMHO, it looks a lot like the beloved-by-me Apple Cocoa theme, without the toylike sounds and stuff that Apple puits in their OS). 

Since this template doesn't seem to have a placeholder for links, I'll say it right here: my site is at ian.profitabilityexperts.com

Also, look for the Spam Cam soon...it'll be there...

Yet another blog template change. This time it'll actually work, as you can see if you're reading this blog. I know, it's a dumb comment, but anyway...

SOME JOKES (some about obesity; just a warning)

Want to hear a lame joke? A guy broke his leg.

She has more chins than a Chinese phone book.

When she sits around the house, she really sits around the house (email me if you don't get this one; I didn't at first either)

There are so many Wings and Wongs in China that when you Wing you always get a Wong number

Ththththats all for now...tune in later for more inanities, insanities, commentaries on spam, the tech world, etc...

My mom finally tried working on my computer last night and this morning. I put her on Internet Explorer, as Firefox with Charmel would probably be too strange for her, as would maybe even Firefox with Qute..., but even with Internet explorer, she couldn't figure out how to disconnecft. Probably because of XP's 'wave of the future' LCD screen connect taskbar icon. :/ I like it, but there should be an option to switch back to the old style stuff. Anyway, she got everything done that she needed done (that was possible, at least; part of a site she needed to go to was down), and her computer (as opposed to our 2000-or-so Gateway) didn't crash three times during the process, have the keyboard act wierd, etc. 

I've changed my blog's stylesheet to match the rest of my site. Hopefully, the bug dealing with the...well, it was worked out if you're reading this, but at the time of my posting I'm pretty sure there's a bug in the template that makes everything show up as and other things like that...annoying, but I've had it fixed once before, and it'll be fixed again... 

I'm writing this blog post from a program called Picasa Hello. Its interface is great, and it negates the need for me to click any links or do anything except type, send, and even put photos on! 

A really neat theme for Mozilla Firefox is Charmel. You can get it at shaw.ca/lucx. It's, in my opinion, a lot "friendlier" to the eyes than the average Windows XP theme. It also has an icon set that sorta reminds me (but not too much) of the old Netscape. :) Its menus and buttons are kind of like Apple's OS X or iTunes (read suweet), and the backgrounds for everything are the same hue (except lighter) as brown sugar\cinnamon and white sugar. Now, if there were only a Windows XP theme like this, so that the titlebar wouldn't be so contrasting. :)

Hi. This blog is back again, and it's better than ever, as I'm going to take this down to just noncomputer stuff and tiny stuff that I wouldn't want to post on my forum or make a webpage of. I'm not using the Bravenet WebJournal service any more; it has too many ads and it's easier to just open the BlogThis module than go to Bravenet's ad-infested site and do all of that. :) I look forward to posting more on here soon.

If you need help with Thunderbird, email me at iansl@alex4all.com. I don't know everything, but what I know may help.

Here's a card talk with Will McCormack from Wednesday (I put question numbers in parenthesis for Will's questions, since I put them there on the card):

CARD 1

Will: (1) What are you doing? (2) Are you wirting a computer program? (3) Whats your favorite word? (4) Where were you born? (5) Whats your favorite computer program? (6) Are you still in debt? You should call 1-800-debt-free

Ian: 1 Making a website 2 Not at the moment. I need a BASIC-to-EXE compiler. 3 Wizened, maybe? 4 Palm City, Florida 5 Mozilla Internet Suite w\Lotsa Addons!

CARD 2

Will: Ian Littman why is your website have a orange background?

And if you call 1-800-In Debt you (?)should(?) call 1-800-Debt Free in the future

Ian: It doesn't. The background is salmon. PC World made the background.

Will: Oh, thank you. Salmon is a nice color

A little later, I got this note from Jess, on a card that had some old work on it:

I have a nervouse habit of puncturing weasels,



Ahhh...don't we all...

And while I'm at this, I might as well tell you that I've changed main browsers since I wrote that. Mozilla is still my emailer and web editor, but now Mozilla Firebird 0.7 is my web browser. Right now, I'm trying to download Mozilla 1.6, the really really new version (2 days old when I wrote this), which once again steps a huge step ahead of Internet Explorer and Outlook. I just can't wait until Firebird and Thunderbird (the new emailer) come out, really. I wonder how I can transfer all of my 262 (and counting) messages and my address book from Mozilla Mail to Thunderbird. If you have a way of doing this, email me.

Well, the phone line's clear, now, so I guess I'll post and publish this...

This afternoon at school, Jess and I did a 'card talk', or basically chatting using notecards. There are 3 cards in all, but I lost one. The others I have, so I know they're accurate. The stuff in parenthesis weren't on the cards, I put those in for clarification. By the way, Jess threw the card away. Anyway,

CARD ONE

Ian: What's this? ------------------> J.D. (In upper riighthand corner of the cards he had given me a little earlier)

Jess: Call 1-800 Debt Free

Ian: Why? Why do I need to call debtfree?

Jess: People at your age shouldn't be in debt. Call these people. (This is now the back of the card)

At this point, Alex also chips in (he was between Jess and I, so it was very convenient):

Alex: You should really listen to jess. Call 1-800 Debt Free.

CARD TWO, which I dogear folded into card one and sent back to Jess

Ian: Google AdSense: Make money on your site! I can get out of debt this way, thank you, as well as selling Alex's movies.

------------------------------------------------------------

Jess: You should get your mind off (other side) of websites, they're full of lies and deceit.

Alex, I think: I like cheese...I'm sorry. Is this alchololics anomunis? I have a problem.

Ian: Mine isn'tand neither is Google's, but AAs is. :-| (a bigger shhhh face was on the card, but that doesn't transfer to Blogger very well, and I'm not a skilled enough mouser to draw it)

Jess: Whatever, all you need to do is call 1-800 Debt Free

CARD THREE (a little later, after looking around for card one)

Ian: You have one of my cards, Jess. Give it.

?Alex?: No I don't, False accuser!

(After passing the card to Jess)

Jess: Double false accusor! Me tooo! M2

Ian: Where is the 1st card, then, the 1 with the arrow to JD on it?

?Travis? (I'll tell you about how he figured in later): M2? LOL!

Jess: I have no idea what your talking about

Jess or Alex: Who me?

Thus ended the card conversation. Later, upon asking Jess to his face about the card, he told me he had thrown it away. While I was talking, Travis sorta snatched the cards away from either me or Jess, and read them. That's why I think he wrote that little bit, besides the faqct that everybody has different (pretty much) handwriting, and that's why I divided up some paragraphs into different speakers, and that's why I think it was Travis. Also, I'm sure, pretty much, that I didn't write that.

Well, that's pretty much it. :)

Well, everything's OK. I do wish that I could make an editorial of that letter in school, and such.
