Is the Front Page a mystical land of friendship and rainbows? That might explain why @DogsB is afraid of it

Gather around the campfire and let me tell you about the WOT. Something else we can now nuke from orbit.

I s'pose I'm rather indifferent about it. I recognize its cultural impact, but it's a bit tedious a read, and I don't see it as the greatest ever. Which to some people, I believe, constitutes a slight against their very essence.Don't ask me about that wizard kid...

Status: Wow, this is the most safely-wrapped DVD ever!
Picture if you will, a box measuring 15cmx18cmx28cm. Inside it is a DVD, enshrouded in a paper sleeve, encased in two layers of bubble-wrap, sandwiched between two sets of four layers of large-bubble-wrap.
Thing could probably survive a gunshot!

While I'm throwing death threats at forum members does anyone know of a good HTML and CSS book? I may as well do it well.

You're... Going to write HTML and CSS.... Manually?!?
I'm not sure that's supported anymore...

@HardwareGeek is that because the books skim over where the blue wizards went?

@Tsaukpaetra I still write both by hand.

I would happily trade my hands for your hands now. Mine are very soft and moistured if that helps.

@Arantor said in The Official Status Thread:

Which books? Were there blue wizards in LOTR?
Ah, the internet tells me there were, at least in the Legendarium, but barely mentioned in passing, and not even by name, in LOTR itself. I've never read Peoples of Middle-earth, that I can recall, anyway. I think I did read Unfinished Tales, but it was a long time ago, and I don't remember any of it. Somewhat amusingly, though, I use a tightly-cropped version of the cover art (I found it online with no attribution and didn't know where it came from (TIL); it was on a wiki that claimed it was CC0) as my Steam avatar.
I haven't read any of the books about the wizard kid, so I don't know or care about where blue wizards may have gone, if there were any.
-
@HardwareGeek the wizard kid is a red wizard, but has blue wizard friends.

Status: Iāve been officially rejected.
For almost a year, a pair of rainbow lorikeets have been coming around to be cute and get their handouts of sugar soup. I last saw them on Christmas Eve, and never sinceā¦
Well it turns out, just down the road on the other side of the block, thereās a sizeable bottlebrush, and who else should be secluded amongst its branches than a pair of parrots with the same colouration as my fabled former friends? All that time I never saw them, they must have been only fifty metres away. Bastards.
Iām going to have to walk down there with a bowl of sugar juice in hand. Then weāll see how firm their principles really are.

Gave myself a scare.
Coming back from getting a cup of hot brown morning potion:
WHERE ARE ALL MY WINDOWS? DID WINDOWS REBOOT? DID I LOSE MY UNSAVED STUFF AND TRANSIENT STATE?I had forgotten the last thing I did before getting up was remoting to a server.
