Stuff I Found while Cleaning House in my www Space

Useful Little HTML Demo

Small Capitals. This page was originally thrown together as a quick illustration of how different browsers interpret small-capped numerals. It turned out to be more useful for something else: showing what your browser has selected for the five generic families recognized by CSS. In addition to serif, sans-serif and monospace, there are Cursive (generally something pretty) and Fantasy (all too often Comic Sans).

Assorted Pictures

Private Message (screen shot). What was that computer thinking?

The Most Dreaded Beast of All. The assorted other pictures I've posted over the years to Unusual Squirrel Sightings and The Number of the Beast should all still be online, but you can go look those up for yourself. Same goes for the Dread Pirate Susanna, my sole annual concession to TLAPD.

A Vital Stage in the Production of Champagne. Or, at least, that's what the author would have us believe he was illustrating. Don't see a whole lot of grapes, but those are strictly secondary.

DP Custom Mono Repertoire. This is a screen shot from FontBook or something similar, showing the range of characters actually available in the font. If you've set your computer to DPCM and it shows any other letter, it's pulling it from another font. But you can read all about that in the Font Substitution forums thread.

Things Post-Processors May Want to Swipe

Pointing Finger to toss into HTML files if you don't feel like snipping one out of your current project.

Ruler. Open the picture, fetch out a real-life ruler and measure it. If you feel silly measuring a picture of a ruler, do it when your roommate isn't around. If the inches and centimeters don't come out right, find out your monitor's ppi (generally in the 72-96 range) and make your own ruler, measured in pixels. This one was made on an 80ppi monitor. Include it with any book whose illustrations are supposedly "actual size" so readers get a better idea how close they are. Thanks to the ever-expanding computer monitor, most e-book illustrations are now bigger than in the printed original.

my e-texts

For the 'satiably curtious among you, I've got three versions of the list. It should get updated periodically, as and when I remember. The three pages link among each other but don't link back here.

Project Search table with original links to DP project pages. This is a lightly edited dump; I haven't got around to fixing the alphabetization, though I probably will eventually.

Project Search table with links to PG e-text pages. This one has been re-alphabetized to get the a's and the's in the right places. A simple regex puts the light and dark rows in order.

Both of the above include the page count, Project Manager and PPV (if any). I took out some of the other columns.

And, finally, the good one: the Annotated List of everything with my name on it, including solos and remakes. No links; you'll have to get those from one of the other pages. I will probably add more notes by and by.
