They definately reflect Nature's glory.

Hello Matthew, how are you?
Is that your garden and house?

Seems to be a nice place

I put a new POLL on my blog: would you please come and let me know how people surfs on the Web? Thanks

noah counte # 3. November 2008, 04:26

My garden. It's my folks' pole barn.

I voted. I am well Claude, how are you?

holdowicz-claude # 3. November 2008, 10:56

Do you mean that barn is at your parents?
I'm fine

Thanks for the vote: I try to know if there is a lot of people who surfs with a cellphone. For the website design

noah counte # 3. November 2008, 12:49

My parents and I share a field

I've found a surprising number of My.Opera users who use cell phones exclusively to surf the net. Most of them are not from the US/Americas.

holdowicz-claude # 3. November 2008, 13:47

Realy? From where they are? Maybe Russia?

noah counte # 3. November 2008, 17:28

Asia, and increasingly, Europe. The US is always a couple of years behind Asia, when it comes to widespread use of cell phone technology.

This was a film ("A good year" with Russell Crowe) that made me thinking that people can use a cellphone for Internet. This is an English production I think (Ridley Scott)... So I'm thinking that in a near futur plenty of people will surf with cellphone

noah counte # 3. November 2008, 17:47

People already do, Claude. Blackberry was an early means of surfing the net via cell phone in the US, and the iPhone and now Google's phone display webpages, too.

I think handheld devices render differently - and I know Opera's browser for handhelds is widely regarded as the best available. Indeed, it ships on many brands of phone.

Microsoft MOSS (Sharepoint, 2007) actually re-renders format specifically for handheld devices. They use parallel paths - differnt URLs pointing at the same information - so that it's rendered for laptop or desktop in one manner, and for handheld devices in another manner.

On a website, we can have 2 CSS design: one for a computer screen and one for cellphone. The system detect the apropriate one automaticly with those lines:

<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" type="text/css" title="my style" href="style.css" />

and for a cellphone:

<link rel="stylesheet" media="handheld" type="text/css" title="my style" href="style_mobile.css" />

I have to rebuild my pro website

noah counte # 3. November 2008, 18:09

Right.

I haven't done any CSS for handhelds (and since I don't have a handheld, I couldn't test it even if I did write the css for one).

holdowicz-claude # 3. November 2008, 18:27

You could with the Opera browser (menu "view" and "small screen" or something like that).

I'm trying to copy my Opera blog design with CSS but this isn't so easy

noah counte # 3. November 2008, 20:23

I don't think "small screen" gets at all the limitations of a hand held device.

holdowicz-claude # 3. November 2008, 20:27

Maybe not, I don't know. But look at your blog with "small screen" enabled, you will see it with the handheld CSS.
My brother who own a cellphone, shown me my blog in his little screen. I haven't noticed something different...
I plan to buy a cellphone soon

noah counte # 3. November 2008, 20:52

If that's the case, then it should reflect your CSS. Very cool!

holdowicz-claude # 3. November 2008, 21:15

Yes

I will try that!

By the way, you're lucky to own a such property: it's a treasure

noah counte # 4. November 2008, 02:46

Yes, I'm very lucky. I'm afraid I might have to move, though. Jobs are scarce, and I need one.

holdowicz-claude # 4. November 2008, 09:50

I don't know how will be our economical futur, I'm afraid of the worst, and not so far...

noah counte # 4. November 2008, 16:24

THere are always ups and downs. I'm just praying that this "down" isnt' too far down.

holdowicz-claude # 4. November 2008, 16:38

yes you're right

noah counte # 4. November 2008, 17:45

We'll see. I hope so.

holdowicz-claude # 4. November 2008, 17:52

Yes me too. Do you have any children, Matthew?

noah counte # 4. November 2008, 22:27

I married into a daughter, Claude. She's either precious or the spawn of Satan, depending on...

Depending on something I haven't yet figured out, and do not expect to understand before she moves out in 10 years.

holdowicz-claude # 5. November 2008, 12:09

You miss her from time to time. She is living far away from you!
I also have a daughter but she is only 8, so I enjoy my life with her

noah counte # 5. November 2008, 16:33

Mine is 9, and you can have her. Sometimes.

Mostly, I wouldn't give her up for anything.

holdowicz-claude # 5. November 2008, 17:51

Ho sorry I didn't understand what you wrote: I thought that your daugther was adult and lives far from you

"To give up": means?

noah counte # 5. November 2008, 19:05

"I wouldn't give her up" means that I want to keep her.

Mostly.

holdowicz-claude # 5. November 2008, 19:40

So no school for her?

noah counte # 5. November 2008, 20:45

She goes to school, much to her chagrin.

holdowicz-claude # 5. November 2008, 22:41

Poor

Realy? No

She likes to meet her friends I think

noah counte # 6. November 2008, 04:29

We live in the country. She claims to want to live in town, so she could see more of her friends, but she also claims to hate school, where most of her friends are all day, day in and day out.

The mind of a 9 year old. I'll never figure it out!

holdowicz-claude # 6. November 2008, 08:54

From where we come? The Universe is so complexe and big : we are a part of him
