Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

To install it properly on my hard drive, I just drag the program over from the mounted disk image and drop it into my applications folder, yes?

Yes.

I feel all special that I can now engage in all the Mac talk.

I belong....

It's weird, but I didn't really like Macs until a few years ago - I just wasn't impressed by the OS. But once OS X had been around a bit and was stable, I was like, "Unix operating system with a better GUI than Linux, plus beautiful hardware - cool!"

Is there a setting on Macs to sharpen screen fonts, for use with an LCD screen, much like mine? (I'd found and implemented the same setting on my PC)

Yes.

Um... let me try to find it....

eta: Go to System Preferences / Appearance. At the bottom there's a thing on "font smoothing."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, my poor head.

There's something in this CSS that means that IE browsers (at least IE 6) aren't showing the image here. Firefox and Opera have no problem viewing the little boy.

I'm blanking on this.

Help!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, is that what happens when I can't see pictures in LJ entries? Huh.

I'm not sure. And it's not just the pic, but also the caption, I just noticed.

Okay, that might help the debugging...

And lo! I've changed #content {position: absolute} to #content {position: static} and it seems to be fine.

Which is code for "has broken something else, just you wait."
