Tihmmnmmish's Very Laid-Back Summery Poolside Threadcast

[hmmnmm]

yea yea yea

maybe try the sample packs again

must be something going on in the mind: if you're doing any particular something, it becomes less interesting if something you're not doing catches your eye and imagination.

What the heck's going on with that?

How is WordPress to use and make pages with ? I use Adobe's Dreamweaver (I got a good price on the their design premium when I was a student)

Don't know. Just looked over it. No techie here. At all. I've lost count of all the blogs and journals I signed up for, had great plans for, but never did much.

This is really the only online activity I do much with; they add something in the cookies, makes us stay.

Well, if you know a lot about web design, I imagine you could do a lot more with it than I can. I have to select and theme and build from there, but some people create their own themes. WordPress has an extensive help section that includes all kinds of tags and modifications you can make, but I'm always afraid that if I start messing with code, I'm gonna fuck something up for sure.

ditto. i was working on an assignment with illustrator tonight, but I haven't played with dreamweaver yet. I look forward to trying it, I am just pretty clueless when it comes to code and all that good stuff.

Even illustrator is a TON of stuff to learn. Today, I learned how to make blends! oooooooo.... LOL
I'm such a newb.

Well, i do enjoy working on my blogs. And, they do add a little bit to my Google Adsense account, so that's always good. Oh, and I have another "fuck 'em"-- and active "fuck 'em!" LOL

You know how I was venting earlier about how some people seem to be twisting Google Adsense into some kind of scam? I decided that I am going to post instructions on my blog on how anyone can make money with Google. Free instructions. Right on the blog. No ebook. Just step by step instructions.
Fuck 'em. LOL

Now, that blog, Path from Poverty, does not have a lot of traffic, so I don't expect to put any kind of dent in the whole Google Adsense scheming. But at least I know I said "fuck 'em" to them. right?

I did a lot of research on search engine optimization and Google Adsense and so forth. I really have nothing against compiling ebooks on the subject. It is a lot of work to sift through all the outdated info and misinformation on SEO, I just have issue with all the Spamming on the subject.

okay.. 'nough said.

I submitted a poem for a comp advertised on a Twitter account and out of over 7000 entries I appear to have won something

I've only gotten any experience in photoshop and dreamweaver, with the dreamweaver starting last year. I've messed around a little in CanvasX since my dissertation advisor used it for a couple of figures on a paper we co-wrote.

Probably some con to get me to buy the book lol altho it does say the outright winner gets a contract

 

[hmmnmm]

Like seeing the answer that was there all along and disconcertingly obvious once I saw it, it seems I've seen a pattern. It isn't a pretty pattern and I fear it may be too habitual to do anything about it. To answer a question someone long ago posed, will it always be this way? it looks like it will be. Unfortunately.

 

[hmmnmm]

On the bright side, at least if maybe you can find a sort of perverse comfort in perpetual failure and confusion, just realize that's your station, know your place, it'll help to lower expectations, keep them low; and if anything occasionally blips above that low standard, it'll make the celebration shebangs all the better. Maybe?

You probably already know this, but if you've won something you should get something without having to pay a single cent or centavo or whatever it is in Englaland. I hope you've won something, because I know you can write good poems and I know there are such things as poetry contests that reward good poems. I imagine they have the same sort of poetry contests in other English speaking countries where you have to pay 40-50 dollars for some shifty anthology?

What's a dumber name for a poetry magazine:

Langston Who's, Who's Who

or

Ezra Sound Pounds Off

 

[hmmnmm]

Elmer 'n Ezra
Pounder 'n Pud

does one not need something with which to measure joy against?

Congratulations, and a contract sounds nice!

 

[hmmnmm]

does one not need something with which to measure joy against?

could be that simple

yeah, that's probably it

measure or conflict

some opposite reaction

just the way it is huh?

so it's not really a need to oppose others,
because I end up opposing whatever decisions I come to, which is probably pointless to do anything about.

yeah that's it

sometimes in opposing another, we not only learn more of them, but confirm what we were uncertain of within our selfs.

opposition is never a pointless, fruitless effort. always something is learnt. it may not be what we expected.

well sometimes it's good but sometimes it's counterproductive, so when it's habitual, just as a matter of course you get a few things right but lose sight of the really important stuff.

Both sound pretty nutty with silly wordplay. I think the Pound is dumber, though.

Pound we have pounds!!! Well I shan't be buying the book I've seen myself in print already and I didn't have to pay for the privelege as for the rest I've got a lot of small print to read

Say something is less than a Pound, is it still shilling or pence, what's a pence? What's the word for coinage in British Pound Land?

I want to have the magazine with the dumbest name ever, like Marianne Moore wrote a book called "O To Be A Dragon" or something that sounds like 'Ode to be a wagon'. I can't really think of anything dumber than O To Be A Dragon, I should go read Billy Collins. BC's books aren't much fun to read, if you ever get a chance go hear him do his performance, he's psuedo-british dry comedy, it works out in the end, makes sense why he sells books.

Who's the British version of Billy Collins?

Pence is plural of penny as is pennies lol there's a 100 of them in a pound we haven't had shillings since 1971, coinage of the realm is 1p 2p 5p 10p 20p 50p £1 £2 most times people don't say 10 pennies though they say 10 pee etc

I used to remember many of the old British money system, when I as over then as a boy. Do Brits also deal in Euros or is that just on the continent? We wife is Austrian, and I think their shilling is now history - all in Euros. Money conversions can be frustrating. One time in France my sister and I wanted to try out our French and buy some bread for our lunch. Unfortunately we had old francs (which had become centimes, I think) and didn't have enough money. Fortunately Dad came to our rescue as we were totally confused.

 

[Epmd607]

my question to you, did you ask for french bread? ha, here's how it played out in my head:

EO: Pain Français mon Frère Jacques

Frenchman: Voulez-vous un baquette?

EO: Nah mi hombre, quiero el pan francés!

Frenchman: Le mataré!!
