Blogger Mods

I'm still not too happy about blogger being so narrow. I finally dug around and found where in the template code to set to width for the page and this posting column. It's screwed up some of the images, but it gives me more than an index card's width to type.

I changed to a different template so that I could get dates to stand out more. I'm torn between wanting to blog everything for a given day under an entry named for the day, or post in pieces over the course of a day.

Waterworld - ABC version

Tonight I found out that the longer version of Waterworld, the one that was on ABC years ago was on the SciFi Channel. Unfortunately, it was already an hour into the broadcast. It would be a good project to get that recorded and then to integrate it with the wide screen footage of the DVD. You could even make it so that the full screen parts were properly centered within the letter boxed area. It would look funny when it transitioned, but it would be cool.

Ramsay's $#%*@! Nightmare

Worked late getting things done so as to take Friday off. When I got home, watched some of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmare on BBC America. I've never heard a show with so much bleeping. I don't get it. What's the fascination with such a huge level of crude language? It's childish and it gets old quickly with me. I saw this show years ago. Lenny Henry was in it, it was called Chef! and at that time it was enjoyable to watch.
