Full tram, mandatory work in web project.
Thursday, 28. August 2008, 17:36:49
Today I experienced something weird when I was to enter the tram at Holbergsplass (the closest tram stop to the college): There was no space for me. I am usually a kind person whom lets others get the seats and not to use force to get in, but today, it wouldn't have mattered if I tried. The tram was stuffed to its brims with people. I walked fast to the other wagons but they were just as full, so I thought what the heck and started walking with a fast pace towards the next tram stop, where my initial thoughts were confirmed: The tram was litterally drained of people, and I could easily get a spot inside it.
Other than that, I've figured that I'd make my homepage the homepage I'd deliver for my first mandatory work in the course web project. Its code needs an overhaul eventhough it checks out fine to all standards it follows. What I mainly needs to do is to classify things instead of having all the "hotfixes" I've done for it. For instance:
should be changed into
with a CSS class that says
This way I don't need as much code repeating itself and I also would get a more strict and easily editable layout.

"There were no space for me." <- There *was* no space for me, right?
Y'know, I never did ride on a tram... hm.
I pretty much understand what you made here (though I am no web designer... at least when it comes to coding

It's funny, I can write the most complicated words and construct my sentences quite complex, but I fail at easy things such as "was" and "were". When I come to think about it, my old English teacher said the exact same thing to me.
And you're completely right about the site too. It is the exact same thing that My Opera has done to its designs. They are quite standard, but with lots and lots and lots of CSS ids and classes, making it very simple to redesign and/or enhance the layouts.
I cannot understand how I managed to use HTML for about two years without using CSS. It's unthinkable these days, but still... No, I cannot come up with anything justifying it.

I bet you got nothing but A-s in English class (or 5s, however your system works there.) I did. But that's not much of an achievement. As I said once before, even a neadhertall would pass the english exams we had then.
Everyone makes mistakes on the simplest of things... (2 times 3 equals 5, for instance... I did lots of those...
Yeah, CSS rocks. If you haven't visited CSS zen garden (which I really doubt), then you definetly should ( http://www.csszengarden.com )

And Zen Garden has been visited and looked through, but I am not in there very often. I actually saw a lecturing book the other day which was named something like "Zen Garden and CSS". Peculiar.
