    Trivial, but in-line links open in a new page, while personal links to websites or Twitter etc open in the same page. I'm of the 'target="_blank"' school. Others have any preference?

  • Random Play: Alt.Republic: The rolling mall, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,

    Thanks. When did they do the latest renovations? We remember there not being a lower level for farmers, and a different grocery shop where the food hall is (Pak 'n' Save? With a big cow at the back), and certainly no Starbucks. It was quite different in 1997-98.

    Your mention of coffee did make me remember that semi-secret teashop above Farmers, though.

    The other bit of the lost post mentioned my failing memory with regards to when we moved into the area. Circa 2000, ish. And now you talk about a secret teashop above farmers? Are you sure you weren't imagining things? Did they have cake? Cause then I almost certainly went there, but seriously, cannot remember it.

    Speaking of Conspiracies, Randy Quaids been giving interviews again

    "When I'm running from a Hollywood cabal, I like to wear thigh high boots, a black bikini, and a cowboy hat, cause that's how I roll."

    Are you sure they're not just making a 'mockumentary'? They wouldn't be the first.

    Just wrote this long post which I previewed and then pushed enter. Was asked to log in again, and then I lost it.

    Is there now a 'time-out' function, or did I just push the wrong button?

    It was a continuation of my experiences with St Lukes since the 90s, and how in my mind it has degenerated over the years since favourite shops, like Bennett's, have closed, and the coffee has gone from being average to undrinkable.

    Oh well, hard to re-write these things when the flow is gone, so will just move on.

    It did involve fleas though, so I'm sure you'll all be disappointed.

    Oops. Wrong thread.

  • Hard News: Going Social,

    You can change the default settings on general life? Man, how come nobody told me this, like, years ago? No wonder it's all felt so wrong for the last few decades!

    Echo. <loving these shortened quote tags>

    Any one else here reading Iain M. Banks Surface Detail? Page 322. When I want to pretend I'm calling someone a 'twatcock' without them knowing, I can now use 'Bulbitian'.

    Guess you had to be there.

    Does no one else question why and when people started seeing shopping as a hobby? It drives me MAD. And yes, I did mean to shout.

    I'm trying to thing of what levels of gentle coaxing, strong discouragement, or physical restraint are appropriate with our three to indicate that mall shopping is not a hobby, or sport, and that there are more constructive ways to spend both their time, and our money.

    What a party pooper dad I am! "2 dollar shop dad, come on!!!" "Ask you mum."

    Copied from other thread, since seemed more relevant here.

    Relating to what Russell said above, and my earlier comment on not being able to use the cursor on iPhone to edit text.

    Might not help, but apparently Google Site has a similar problem, which they traced back to Safari for iPad/iPhone, rather than iOS.

    As far as I am aware the iPhone/iPad browser does not provide the rich text editor that all modern desktop browsers do. There's a blog post on the Google Docs blog explaining about the editor in browsers - see Reference [1]

    This editor is not in mobile browsers.

    I can't select text to quote on the iPad, which does my head in ...

    Probably same bug.
