Thanksgiving and stuff
Well, I'm finally almost better from that nasty cold I got a little over a week ago. Thank goodness. I hate being sick.
In other news, neromir.net is progressing nicely. I just finished implementing a few requested features on the site. A friend of mine (Ci) had noticed that if you have a smaller resolution or resize the window while looking at the art section, then the image would push past the div boundaries and into the rest of the page, insidiously hiding itself behind the menus. Well, that problem has been fixed now. It should work on IE 6, 7, and Firefox. I don't know about others. It doesn't work on Safari for some reason, but then, I'm not a terribly big fan of Safari anyway.
So, the next thing to fix after that was making it so people could somehow see the full-size images. But, I didn't want to just dump a link on there if the image was already fully-sized. So, after some thought and a little work, I got it to not be a link if the image is already at its full size. The image will only link if its normal size is larger than the div's size, then it'll come up in a pop-up.
Things are going well here, and I'm happy to be on Thanksgiving break. I've got a couple more projects in the works, first and foremost, a simple coil gun. :D I've always said I would build a rail gun, and well, this is pretty dang close. Unfortunately, I may not have time to work on it until Christmas break. I don't have all the parts I need to be able to do it right now, and I might very well be spending one of my days skiing, which would cut down on valuable construction and experimentation time. I'll keep you guys posted. Now, if only I had a digital camera, that'd be sweet...
