I'm BACK!

And I've had a fine few days in Wilts. Visited the Earl of Pembroke's estate, climbed Windmill Hill and spent several nights within Avebury stone circle.

While wandering the net, I found this:

Which I think will no doubt make you happy for various reasons, not the least that there are OTHER fans in existence who share your beliefs re Theta and Koschei.

Youth of Australia said...: Damn it, how do you web links on this thing?!; 25 July 2007 at 17:05
Jared "No Nickname" Hansen said...: This made me want to do a parody of Justin Timberlake's Sexy Back... but that was before I realised that the song has barely any lyrics. Suffice it to say:

He's bringing spara back! (no!)
Them OGers don't know how to act (no!)
A fishy man he got no cataracts (yeah)
Stick around and he'll cop all the flak (true)

Oh, and YoA, the link works if you double click on it, hit ctrl-c then paste it in the browser... but for a better link... maybe I'll try...

Yes! It works! Put 'a' in the brackets. My programming course has taught me something at least...; 25 July 2007 at 17:32
Jared "No Nickname" Hansen said...: Wait... or maybe it doesn't. God damn it...

LINK

Aha! Got it! The site doesn't use intuitive linking like most HTML codes do, so the link has to be specifically embedded in the tag.

You type a + href= + the link in the tag, and then put the usual closing tag on the other end as usual... (You don't have to put the link in a second time, just '/a')

I hope Spara isn't offended that we're more interested in blogger's HMTL system than his triumphant homecoming...; 25 July 2007 at 17:38
Youth of Australia said...: Offended? Maybe. Surprised? Doubt it.

Hmmm..

Jared "No Nickname" Hansen said...: Sorry, YOA, made the instructions a bit weird to understand because I couldn't write them literally, or blogger would confuse them with real code. SO here's the code, with the pointy brackets replaced with curly ones (which actually makes a really big difference)

Blogger has zero tolerance for people who haven't studied HTML in TAFE...; 25 July 2007 at 19:56
Youth of Australia said...: Blogger hates me...

For the latest adventures of Nigel Verkoff, Sex Machine, go to...

Jared "No Nickname" Hansen said...: Neat work. I'll probably read through it tomorrow - Friday does not have the most interesting of classes...; 26 July 2007 at 03:18
Youth of Australia said...: It would be unAustralian if it did, you need 24 hours to psyche up for the weekend, everyone knows it.

Trouble is, I can only put up 19 episodes... damn it. The YOA novel will never be hosted...; 26 July 2007 at 03:40
Bernie Fishnotes said...: I did a lookalike test on David Tennant, I think Spara might be interested in the results...
Look-a-like!

Number 1 is probably gonna be popular...; 26 July 2007 at 15:54
Youth of Australia said...: Bollocks. DT only looks similar to them when he's pensive. When he's smiling, or sobbing or doing his Italian impressions, he could be mistaken for just about anyone.

ESPECIALLY DT. DT and DT are eerily similar.

In other news, the War Against Chatham continues in A Vest of Evil...; 26 July 2007 at 16:32
Jared "No Nickname" Hansen said...: Bernie, that site has taught me what I long suspected. Nobody looks like Gary Busey; 26 July 2007 at 18:51
