A couple of quick things

[active_apathy]

Firstly, palmer_kun has never heard anything by Deep Purple. If you have (a) Deep Purple MP3s and (b) a faster Internet connection than mine, could you please provide some kind of link, yousendit or otherwise, in comments?

Secondly...



WTF, Gmail. WTF.

Comments

I thought the unread ()s were of individual mails, which were wrapped up into reply threads.

The unread numbers are the number of threads; same goes for Inbox and Starred and such. Individual emails only get shown in the parentheses next to the 'from' bit.

If Stuff comes while you have a conversation open, sometimes it'll show up in the count but not in the Inbox. You end up having to reload manually.

Well, I end up having to reload manually, so I guess you will, too.

Gmail still nice.

Note that "conversation" is their terminology. I like "thread" better.

Also, Minesweeper? Hee. *amused*

Also, why/how does your userpicture on the top left change when I reload this page? Nifty.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I replaced the function that writes the img tag for the userpic with one that randomly selects from a list of URLs, then writes the tag.

In short, layout editing. I need to add some of my newer icons to it, too.

You're far too cool with this S2 thing.

I should sit down and learn it too. In my copious free time. Say, once I've finished my dissertation. Um...

[silmaril.livejournal.com]

By the way, that wasn't envy, that was geekish adoration.

[silmaril.livejournal.com]

...and I think these nested comments have started to look cool, too.

Help, I'm getting into the panic-before-deadline mode.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :) I just look at how other people make things work, reverse engineer that and use it for myself.

I still mean to write my very own layout one day, but I rather like the way this one is.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

It's a Firefox plugin, and it can be set to play like Minesweeper on crack, with up to 7 mines on any given square.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Usually, that works. This time it sat there just like that for a bit over ten minutes.
