Did Jesus Save the Klingons Mike Lennon 10/23 '14

After my failed attempt yesterday, I figured I'd better come back strong today or Tom might throw me off the site. So, I give you the attached article. Money quote: "Christianity would make no sense for these creatures, unless our understanding of original sin makes no sense."

I am, naturally, reminded of the famed Chewbacca Defense. I hope you all enjoy the read and my lone post for today. --Mike

That was pretty great, Mike. Thanks for the link!

Also? You've totally redeemed yourself, if you ask me.

Shrinking Headers Mike Lennon 8/20 '14

No screen shots this time Tom but the same kind of thing happens in Chrome that I posted about yesterday. The header text starts out with something that looks like a 36/48pt font and as I scroll (arrow - I'm a keyboard kind of guy) it gets smaller and smaller until it finds its nadirFont around 14/16pt. Related: nadirFont is a weird thing to say - anytime.

Right now I'm wondering what happens when I past in a URL? Can I make text into a hyper link such as: The Cutting-Edge Butter Knife of Your Dreams Is Finally Here. Holy Mackerel! I think it did it. If it didn't and you really are dreaming about butter knives, then I'll post this as just plain text: http://www.wired.com/2014/08/the-worlds-best-butterknife/?mbid=social_twitter

I'm off to go buy a knife I don't need but do so clearly NEED. See y'all on OPW tomorrow.

Hi Mike,

The header is actually supposed to do that (:

The effect might be too distracting though.

Sean Puckett is having a bash at a new set of styles, so I'll refrain from tweaking that overmuch while he's at it.

I'm cool with the header thing - just point it out.

Using It Mike Lennon 8/19 '14

Hey OPW: Long time listener; first time poster. I've got a couple of observations:

1. Am I missing the profile editing option? Most folks here looks like dogs but some are decidedly more human like. Is there a way that we can change our own avatars?

2. The attached photos come from IE. I popped over to IE to see if there profile editing option were there (typing via Chrome). I mean no disrespect by thinking that might have worked but I checked anyhow. One thing I did not was how things looked when I was reading a scrolling about. It is a little funny. That is IE11 on a Win7x64 machine. Thought I'd share. 

That's it for now. I won't bug you again until tomorrow at the earliest.

I put a big fat "change profile" button on the "me" page tonight.

Hi Mike!

Thanks for the IE screenshots. I confess I haven't tested with it yet. I will get that wrangled.

As for the profile editing, there should be a little icon on top of the dog when your own posts are onscreen, except that I see that's not happening for you. It's happening for me at least on the "me" page. But you know what, that's dumb. I'll add a nicely conspicuous "Edit Profile Photo" button to the top of the "Me" page.
