Vegan Cooking for One: Week Two

http://rusty-halo.com/wordpress/?p=2694

Here’s week two of my attempt to follow the vegan meal plans in Vegan Cooking for One.

I’m proud of myself for sticking to this fairly well; it’s certainly cheaper and healthier than eating out all the time, although I think the recipes in this particular book leave a lot to be desired.

CSS Coders?

http://rusty-halo.com/wordpress/?p=2695

I’m working on a freelance project and I’m looking for a CSS coder to help.

The job is very simple. I have nine template files which use a table-based layout. I need them converted to a CSS-based layout (the header and footer is the same in all) and any outdated code (font tags, table background colors) converted to standards-compliant CSS. It needs to work for all modern browsers on Mac and PC.

The pay is $300 and it would need to be done within five days. (I can vouch for the client; I’ve been working with her for three years and she always pays her bills. You’d be dealing with me, since she doesn’t understand the technical side, but she’d be the one paying you.)

If you’re interested, please send me a sample of a standards-compliant CSS layout you’ve done. If you want to see the current template files, let me know.

If you know anyone who might be interested, please forward this to them.

Thanks, and sorry for spamming the people who have no idea what this means!

The Asshattery Just Keeps On Coming

http://rusty-halo.com/wordpress/?p=2697

This thread is not doing anything to change my mind about the significant percentage of GIGANTIC FUCKING ASSHOLES in Doctor Who fandom.

Seriously. Some guy rips off a bunch of fan reviews without permission, publishes them (as filler, without analysis) in a for-profit book, and has the gall to complain that his feelings are hurt when the people he stole from get upset? Because it was too much of a burden for him to ask permission from twelve people?!

I archived several hundred people on All About Spike and I asked for permission from every single one (and that site’s not even for profit). It’s not hard to show a bit of common courtesy. Some of the authors I most loved didn’t give me permission, so, you know what? I didn’t archive them. Because if you respect someone’s work enough to want to use it, you also owe them the respect of asking their permission and abiding by their wishes.

Oh, but posting in public is exactly like giving the world permission to use your work in any way it sees fit! *eyeroll*

And, of course, it comes down to the know-it-all men talking down to the “shrill and hysterical” women who for some silly reason don’t like having their words stolen and used for someone else’s gain.

*headdesk times infinity*
