Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I didn't have anything I already used, but a quick google found me this: [link]
It seems like a pretty useful and comprehensive site for stagecraft in general, but that glossary page allows you to specify technical areas like lighting, and even an experience level.
Crap. Except it's a Brit page. Less helpful than previously thought.
This is from Amazon which I know you don't use, but you can find the book elsewhere. It's called Technical Theatre for Non-Technical People. I know the author. It's a bit out of date, but a good book.
I've run into a number of blog posts about this freakish monstrosity, so I'm inflicting it on y'all:
iPhone charger modded to look like biological monstrosity
Warning: it's even more gross than you think it is.
Oh god, I hadn't even watched the video until now. It moves.
I'd be concerned of excessive scratch marks on the back side of phone.
Scola, good looking out! Your warning is incredibly helpful.
My netbook is dead. So now looing for a new one in $200 range or under. I'm going to look through my usual sites. Does anyone have suggestions either as to model/brand or site.
HTML/Javascript question:
We have a form with some textareas on it. Sometimes we need to disable a textarea - we do that by putting a "disabled" in the textarea tag. But then we lose the vertical scrollbar functionality. Is there a way of disabling a textarea but still keep the vertical scrollbar functionality?
eta: A quick google says:
Why do you have to use textarea anyway? Just put the text outside. Put it in a div and put a border on it if you want the block to look like a textarea.
Could do that. Anyone know of another way? eta: Can I still get a scrollbar that way?
eta: OK, I used Javascript to set the readonly property to true, instead of using the "disabled" thing. The textarea is not grayed out but my boss says that's OK.
