We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Called Tivo and the tech support guy was very helpful. He said he's pretty sure it's a hardware issue and my DVR will need to be replaced, but their policy is to make sure it's not a CableCard issue first, so I have to pop the card out and wait 24 hours to see if the problem resolves before they'll issue an exchange.

Out of respect for DH's viewing habits, I have decided not to remove the card until after Lost tonight.

Sorry, the formatting for that is getting too damn weird because, not surprisingly, the text processing here really doesn't like to process PHP. I'll post on LJ and link in a few.

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

Dumb html question.

If you have an <a> tag with a graphic that you can click as the link, how do you eliminate the purple border that you get that shows the button has been pressed?

eta: I mean, besides just using a function call instead....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

tommyrot, border=0

As part of the <a> tag? Doesn't work.

eta: But it works as part of the <img> tag. Cool!

Oops! Yes, because it's an attribute of the image, and I didn't think through a full example before phone-posting.

I put img {border:0;} in my style sheets.
