I have been playing around with my dropcaps and came upon this reference:
The demos used here are very functional, but imagine the doors to decorative typography this could open up! In principle we’ll be free to use many familiar properties on the initial letter, including:
All familiar font properties
Color and opacity
Text-shadow and other text decoration
Transform properties
and how about some background-clip action?
This got me thinking about using css for movement in general. Which got me thinking about how movement using css, in the wrong hands, could really ruin the user experience.
Due, I was, for a theme change. Ribosome seemed the trick. Here are my very simple theme changes.
Default Enhanced, my last theme from 2009, appealed to my simplicity, but let me down in some ways. I did add to the css for a dropcap and paragraph indent, and did correct the list issues. Otherwise the theme stood the test of time. The change agent was that it lacked responsiveness and was difficult on mobile devices. It was time.
The entertainment space in the world is getting larger and larger. We dropped cable a couple of years ago and use Over the Air (OTA) digital tv. We are not supplementing this with internet video streaming. Yes, you can go directly to Youtube and stream whatever, but there is also another way: the Kodi Media Player. Using Kodi I can now stream live Chinese tv to Canada, when I want.

Our Asus Zenfone 2 Z00ADA ZE551ML smartphone has a broken camera. The selfie camera simply does not initialize in the camera app, which says it is not there. We wondered why. There are a lot of complaints about this broken camera, so the problem seems common. We decided to take the phone apart, to take a look and ensure that all the electrical connections were tight. What we found was that the electrical socket that connects to the selfie camera was very cracked. The socket is so small as to be irreparable. This socket could not have been damaged by wear and tear, as all the other components around the selfie camera, including the forward facing camera, are in pristine condition.
Legere Classic synthetic reed, 2.5, exchanged from a much harder 3.5, and sounds a lot better. photo by Don Tai.
You do not really know if a company guarantee is worth the pixels on their web page until you or someone else tries it out for themselves. Little Weed has been playing B flat clarinet in junior high and senior high school for a couple of years now. When we originally bought reeds we went the safe route and bought wood reeds, namely the Rico brand. This time we decided to try the Legere Classic synthetic reed, bought at a local music store, ten times more expensive than the traditional wood reed. Initially the reed was too hard, but after a free exchange for a much softer number, the synthetic reed was an immediate success.
The nutrition label on my Indian papadum states that 100g has 316 calories and 2,454g of salt. The salt is 102% of your daily recommended intake. How misleading are these nutrition facts. The numbers are for 100g of papadum.
My package of papadum is 150g for 14 circles. Who, in their right mind, would eat 2/3ds, or 9 papadum at a sitting?
Each papadum weights 11g and has 35 calories, 273g salt
The Manchester Bomber used a Yuasa 12v 2.1aH lead acid battery
Some guy blew himself up in Manchester, Britain, at a music concert. Lots of people were killed and severely injured. How someone can blow themselves up in a crowded concert full of young kids is beyond me. I was very shocked at the lack of humanity.
Crime scene photos of the event were released by the New York Times, photos of the bomber’s backpack and battery. I should not be able to view these images on the web. How an active crime scene can be so compromized is beyond me. I am sure the British police are just livid, as this is an active crime. Someone should be fired for the leak.
In my Drupal 8 install I was getting an error about not setting the trusted_host_patterns variable not being enabled, in settings.php. This setting is not under D8 admin control. You need to directly edit the settings.php file. Ok, not difficult.
Unfortunately I was getting a permissions error every time i tried to edit the file. I tried changing the permissions but to no avail. It seems like permissions for the folder above was set too low, so I had to change that first, before I was able to save my changes to settings.php. So I then log in to D8 to see if the change cleared the error. At this point it looks like D8, or my host, reset the folder and settings.php permissions to default. For me, permissions need to be reset every time I need to do a change.
