I'm still trying to discover the HTML coding to make it flash on and off like a neon sign . . .

you are hopeless . . . part of your charm

[identity profile] realthog.livejournal.com 2009-06-15 12:15 am (UTC)(link)

Oo, look -- I discovered the coding!

Oh dear GOD. So you did.

"Oh dear GOD. So you did."

Good, innit?

I had a different word in mind, but I'll let it go for now.

"Oo, look -- I discovered the coding!"

So, how long does a person have to stare at your big, red letters before they go all neon-like and flashy? 'Cause I ain't gettin' nothin', honey.

Be thankful. It's obscenely self-aggrandizing. :-D

"obscenely self-aggrandizing"

Jealous of my geekly proficiency, are we?

[identity profile] realthog.livejournal.com 2009-06-15 01:14 am (UTC)(link)

Yes, I found the code for that, too, and am waiting for an appropriate moment to use it . . .

[identity profile] realthog.livejournal.com 2009-06-15 01:16 am (UTC)(link)

Hm. I wonder if one could combine the two?

Whatever: I'm off now to slurp mushroom soup while Pam attempts to enjoy the series opener of True Blood. Me, I wanted us to watch the Kenneth More version of The 39 Steps . . .

Google is my friend. :-)

[identity profile] realthog.livejournal.com 2009-06-15 03:44 am (UTC)(link)

"Google is my friend."

I 'fess: That's what I did too.

[identity profile] quietselkie.livejournal.com 2009-06-15 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Hee! I couldn't allow my...uh, geekulinity to go unchallenged!

The word for your spouses is clearly long-suffering.

[identity profile] realthog.livejournal.com 2009-06-15 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)

You think?

"It's obscenely self-aggrandizing"

I would expect nothing less from our esteemed Thog.

"So, how long does a person have to stare at your big, red letters before they go all neon-like and flashy?"

How odd. The HTML's obviously working for others, like quietselkie -- who as you can see really loves it.

You and Selkie have ganged up on me. I know a load when I see one. ;P

"You and Selkie have ganged up on me. I know a load when I see one."

Try opening the post in a different means -- i.e., if you're viewing it on your Friends page, try clicking on the entry's header so that you go to its own page, or vice versa.

Let me rephrase that:

"or vice versa"

[identity profile] sarcobatus.livejournal.com 2009-06-15 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
I got yer vice right here . . .
