Congratulations on the new job by the way!! smiley - biggrin Out of interest what on earth (or any other planet of your choosing) is "hyderonating on a raft?!"

"Doing a perfect job smiley - biggrin

It is something like hydrating, hybernating, cybernating and not to be found by a search engine or in any dictionary. "

Hyderonating sounds cool, whatever it is!! smiley - biggrin Sounds better than working outside in the rain that's for sure!! smiley - laugh Oh by the way I've probably got confused between the two conversations that we're having in different places and asked you in the other conversation bout your job, so whichever conversation you want to reply in is fine!! Hehe!! smiley - smiley And I hope you're not in south wales at the mo, nothing personal but the weather is REVOLTING, horrible rainstorm is going overhead right now, and it sounds disgusting, I'm glad I'm indoors with my computer, not out there!! smiley - sadface Ah well, I hope it lasts til at least Tues, lovely coupla days off!!smiley - biggrin

"I am a programmer, that is I work in a group and together we construct the software environment for an automated measurement. So far not much different from a previous job, only this time the boss has more then a faint idea what we are doing. smiley - smiley

Another thing I do like in this group is that we all have 'problems' with the big software companies. Though we keep it balanced, nothing is perfect. "

Sounds like my brother, he does electronic and software design, but I know nothing about that whatsoever!! smiley - biggrin Funnily enough, he doesn't like the big companies either!

Mind you after the last couple of weeks I ought to be in hardware installation or summat, most of my friends seem to have got new computer bits for xmas and have no idea what to do with them or where to stick them! So which mug ends up sorting it out for them?! I don't mind, except when I end up spending ages on the phone to helpdesks, when they could have done that themselves! smiley - smiley Ah well they usually give me a bottle of wine as payment so it's all fair really!

Fun day today, sorting out accounts for my business before tax return is due at the end of this month so now I'm not allowing myself any more computer play time until I've done at least a sensible amount of work! smiley - biggrin

Have a good day

Thirty thousand light years from home, it doesn’t seem that far really, does it? But when you’re two feet high, wearing a rather uncomfortable uniform, and called Ig, it seems like a very long way indeed, even with the new regulation Star-drive.


The Star-ship Xlbrt 9054, (or “Brat” for short as it hardly ever did what Ig wanted it to,) was part of the Intergalactic gnome fleet. Ig was its commander, and he was very, very bored. He’d always heard tell of exciting space battles, new civilisations, friendly or otherwise, being discovered, and generally fun things like that. So far he’d been circling this non-descript green and blue planet, that glowed in the dark keeping all the gnomes awake, for three years and all he’d discovered was a plant that didn’t seem to do anything very much, except sit in a corner, reproduce, and periodically quote poetry at the poor gnomes assigned to look after it. The years of listening to “The Ballad of the Qjkdsc”, and other “classics”, can get to be very tedious indeed. In fact it was at it again…


“Oh no,” thought Ig, “It’s at it again!”

“I wander gently as a Jhrty,” quoted the plant,
“How can they be so very dirty?
One day I’m sure that I’ll know why,
That’ll be when whjrts fly.
All at once it came to me,
That is the way they’re meant to be.
It seemed to me that as I grew
There are things I never knew.
But as I sat and thought, I felt,
Life is such an awful wuirfrelt.”

Hi Traveller, I know you posted this but I didn't understand a word of it I'm afraid, smiley - sorry I didn't know I had to be Alabaster mode, and I was in Brunel so it wouldn't do it!! smiley - biggrin I'm still learning!! smiley - blush So I've kinda stuck to the basics so far, I'll play about with when I've got a bit more used to it!!

Thanks loads for the help though smiley - ta, it's making more sense to me now!! smiley - hug

And thanks for the compliment too! smiley - kiss

Traveller in Time smiley - tit on top
"smiley - erm Perhaps, I always work in brunel, a little confused as to what the problem can be.

Hmmm, brunel gives a big black area above the entry when the parser finds a bug. Place your mouse in the top of it, press left and move all the way down. This reveals the black on black error report ? (I have background colour disabled, does also reveal the error smiley - silly) It is a known bug the error code is not visible however it is there if you know where to look for it.

Reading it reveals it is not for the Edited Guide, then you also should not really bother about using the 'approved' GuideML. "

A way to keep track of opening and closing of the TAGs is place each on a seperate line. The computers do not care but we human readers have the benefit of seeing the overview, you will notice a missing close tag much more easy then when the tags are in the middle of the text. "

Ok, I'm blonde I can't help it!! smiley - laugh I think I've found a way I can do it in Alabaster using Guide ML that I understand so I think I'll stick to that way! smiley - somersault

But that's a good idea with putting the tags on seperate lines, would have saved me so much trouble earlier! smiley - ta

Use indentation, it helps creating the most complex architecture smiley - smiley "

Woo hoo, I've worked out how to edit in Brunel! smiley - somersault Aren't you proud of me?! Lol!! smiley - laugh All I had to do was look at it when I'm actually properly awake! smiley - winkeye

Looks easier in fact than Alabaster cos got all the buttons at the top instead of remembering codes! Thanks! smiley - hug

I think housework has just gone out of the window, gonna practice on Ig instead! (Poor little gnome, doesn't deserve it really! smiley - biggrin)

Oh of course, I'd forgotten you're in computers so this is easy for you, unfortunately I've forgotten any programming that my brother taught me a long time ago!!smiley - blush

"I have been struggling with indentation since my first GuideML page.

The only thing that works simple is using instead of . An alternative is using some fixed spaces:   but these are difficult to control over browsers. The tag either works or not.
