Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

Started writing ConCertino con report, realized it needed some editing and rearranging about the same time I noticed I was getting too tired to keep at it, so it's nap time.

I need a bigger monitor. I have to do huge amounts of horizontal scrolling to read my friends page yet again; this time not because of a comic strip or other wide image in a friend's entry. It's the too-long, one-word subject line by a friend who had a really bad day and needed to scream (so I'm afraid to even leave a comment on the entry). Earlier it was a very long URL that wouldn't wrap (but that only barely pushed the user icons off the left of my screen, rather than requiring constant back-and-forth scrolling to read each line of each entry on the page).

Days like this, I wonder whether reading my friends page is worth it. Yeah, there's a lot of really cool stuff there (which is why many of the people on my friends list are there, after all), but when it's so difficult to read ... *sigh*

(Fortunately most people put wide images behind cut tags, and I've convinced at least one person to reformat four-panel comic strips as 2X2, and most people put a descriptive phrase between the <a href="..."> and the </a> instead of duplicating a really long URL there ... and I don't mind so much if I just have to position things so that half of each user icon is cut off in order to show the far end of each line ... but it seems that having to shuttle back and forth on the horizontal scroll bar (or the arrow keys) to read the posts on my friends page happens way too often. Maybe I should just tell iCab to read my friends page aloud instead of trying to look at it. Thing is, when it's not being difficult to read, I'm really glad to see what most folks have to say.)
