WauloK : The life and interests of an Aussie

Does anyone know much about dhtml layers? I have a gif I want to whack up =
in the top right corner of this document. I want it to float over the thick =
black borders of the table.

I know I can use the float tag but it only lets me specify the TOP and LEFT =
attributes and I will not know how wide a screen is as the resolution of =
the monitor viewing my blog could be set to any value.

I almost had it working at one stage using a DIV tag but that created a =
blank column on the right hand side of this blog the width of the image. =
Kinda like if you have your TABLE set up right then add an extra TD =
somewhere.

I know it can be done cos I’ve seen snowflakes falling down screens and =
those annoying dhtml logos and menus which scroll down the screen. I don’t =
want mine to stay at the top of the screen, though. Just disappear as a =
normal gif would if you moved the elevator down the screen.

Answers on the back of an envelope and write BRAINS on the front.

Last night I got to chatting with strangers and got my Speechcraft up a few =
levels. I even played many Disposition games. With one person I even maxed =
out my Disposition level with him and could go no higher.
I learned a bunch of stuff and made friends. Next I have to get a high =
disposition level with some girls and get invited upstairs like in the demo =
movie I downloaded. Unfortunately I’ve not seen any information about =
forming relationships of the close kind so it’s probably not possible =
dammit!

Apple iPod owners are suing Apple because they are going deaf from having =
their iPod volume set to maximum all the time.

Listen up people IT’S YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT!
Apple didn’t make you deaf just as McDonald’s didn’t make you a big fat =
fuck!

You did!

Put down the burger, chips and Coke (R) ™ and turn the bloody music =
DOWN!

This has been another dumb humans production for the BangRocks Network. =
WauloK speaking.

That last post should have gone out yesterday but my phone didn’t send the =
email for some reason.

I fired up TES.Ob again last night.=20

I tried some thievery. I went to a weapons shop, saved my game, sold all =
the crap I didn’t want and went upstairs and broke into a locked room.. =
only to be confronted by fido.. a BIG German Shepherd and he chomped me up. =
Next time I will open the door AFTER unequipping my bow and equipping my =
big hammer. Let’s try again. CHOMP! Hmm .. maybe if I try hitting him fast. =
Yep! That worked!
Have a look around. Grab some gold and a fully repaired version of my =
hammer. Read a book. “Ullo ullo ullo! What’s all this then? You’re nicked, =
son!” Crap! It’s the coppers!
Load up my saved game.
Popped back upstairs again. Damn dog! Load saved game. Upstairs. Damn =
dog.
Load saved game.
This time remember to sell my crap, including my big hammer (can grab that =
one upstairs anyway). Save game. Head upstairs. Damn dog! My sword isn’t as =
good as my hammer..
Load saved game. Hey! Maybe if I actually HEALED MYSELF to 100% I may have =
a chance with this dog!
Heal. Save game. TAKE THAT LASSIE! YEA!
Nick gold and my nice hammer.
Crap! Cops are back! Ah well that’s enough of that.

Other things I learned the hard way:
If you ask a warden to let you talk to a prisoner and he insists on coming =
along, don’t try lockpicking a cell in front of him. He don’t like it =
much…
Another one: Don’t pick a lock to the guardhouse. There may be guards =
inside who don’t take too kindly to that sort of behaviour…

So I’m still having fun at this early stage. I’m pretty sure my 14 day =
World of Warcraft account has expired by now. Oh well. I might get a real =
account later in the year.

So much of my future is up in the air atm so I don’t know where or what I =
will be doing in the future. I guess I just have to wait and see.

I finally got around to installing Elder Scrolls IV last night. I’ve got to =
say it is a nice game so far. I completed the tutorial and chose to be an =
Agent, much to the surprise of the Royal Guard who thought I would be a =
Rogue!

Sadly Patrick Stewart dies early in the game. He’s such a good actor.

This could be the kind of game I’ve been waiting for. One where you can =
choose to do what you want instead of following a linear story which a lot =
of games do. Even World of Warcraft to an extent. I want to be free to =
explore, do quests I want, cast spells, even steal or attack people I’m not =
supposed to.

The game checked my hardware and set itself to 640 x 480 with enhancements =
off. I changed it to 1152 x 860 and turned on HDR. Nice! I love the HDR in =
this game. Looks so pretty.

Will let you know hiw I go as I play it more.
