I still think that PTW is going to catch on. I just have to keep it going.

 Time will tell. Though, I'd advise against holding your breathe on that particular one.
Glad to see the un-ban button got pressed on your account.

Can't be talking about me. The option to not look is most surely there. Not to mention I posted them in the soap box.

I see the Lounge has its Madame Defarge:
“The basin fell to the ground broken, and the water flowed to the feet of Madame Defarge. By strange stern ways, and through much staining of blood, those feet had come to meet that water.”

Hey loctrice, glad to see you're back. (Or maybe you were under another account, and I have not noticed).
Still fighting ?

I had some family stuff that has caused me to have to stop going to the mma gym. I'm still training, but don't get a lot of grappling practice by myself.

Ok, sorry, did not intend to bring back hard times in memory.
I hope you are doing good (and you back on CP is a sign you are ).

Just spent some hours today tracking down what I felt was a really odd and unexpected error that turned out to be really simple.
I made a webpage that contained a chart, so far no problem.
But when I moved the code over to the server the chart titles turned out smaller than on my devmachine.
So identical code rendered as images turned out having different size of the text on two machines that I thought had the same settings. 
Well, to the story belong that I got a new devmachine last week. It's a 14" laptop with 1920x1080 resolution (and a ridiculously fast harddrive compared to my old machine), so the clever people at Dell thought that as you obviously don't buy high resolution to get more real estate, had set the default DPI at 120 instead of 96.
So I immediately set it down to 96DPI and thought no more of it. Problem was just that the IIS Worker Process uses a separate account that still had the default 120 DPI setting. And the rendering of text uses that default setting on the Worker Process Account rather than the setting on my account
So whose fault is this?
Mine for not setting the font size in pixels instead of points?
Or Dells for having a stupid default setting?
Perhaps Devexpress for using a local environment setting for something that should have a standard translation in the Control?
Your call. Whose fault is it?
But more important, how should something like DPI be handled on the net? It shouldn't be set at the server, but rather use the setting from the client, or?
/Rant over.

I always thought web pages should be scaled by using the browser zoom option. So if the user wants it bigger, they hit Ctrl++.
The challenge, then, is to construct a web page that behaves appropriately at 75%, 100%, 150% zoom and everywhere in between.

I second that opinion. Let me as a old user with bad eyesight control how big the damn thing appears on my device.

Bugs are never-ever unnecessary! You only have to know how much to create!
I always say to my group - the bugs you create today are the bread-and-butter of tomorrow!
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)
