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."

Our wings are not tired
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)
Just be careful with all the settings like font smooth on that box. It's a geriatric G3 and all of those little settings are hits against your processor speed. If it starts to feel overly sluggish those are the things to start to turn off.

Good to know. I'm not animating the dock at all, and I won't use any of the other tricks like that, but I need font smoothing. It was making my eyes hurt from the strain of reading blurry fonts after only twenty minutes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Font-smoothing is proof of God's existence. Or that of very cool programmers.
My 900 mhz G3 iBook seems to still perform well with font smoothing. Mabye it'd be noticably better with font smoothing turned off, but like Sean, I find lack of font smoothing on LCD screens to be incredibly annoying.

I've been having connectivity problems all day (Comcast's fault, I'm pretty sure) - for a while, the times when I could connect to the internet I seemed to be having DNS problems - I could get to some sites but not others (b.org wasn't down, was it?). Anyway, when I tried to get to b.org in either Mozilla or Safari, I got redirected (or something) to 0.0.0.0. What's going on? (I don't need to know - I'm just curious.)
0.0.0.0 means your local machine, right? Is it the same as localhost?

All is well that ends in pizza.
0.0.0.0 means your local machine, right? Is it the same as localhost?
It means your computer could not pull an IP address from the DHCP host.
0.0.0.0 is a reserved default IP for when things go craxy.
