Perpetual Thursday Ramblings, Rantings, Nonsense, and Bunk

Day-Dream-Weaver
Thursday, June 22, 2006 I am a happy person. Just a few short days ago I recived a copy of Macromedia Dreamweaver. For those of you who don't know, Dreamweaver is a web design tool... Strike that, Dreamweaver is the web design tool. Of course, anything is an upgrade from Netscape Composer 7.1, but I'm very happy with Dreamweaver and firmly belive it was the right choice.

One of my favorite features is the convienent layout and interface. The sidebar is really great; I love the ability to edit CCS without leaving the design view or scrolling around in code view. Having all the properties for everything right at the bottom is also really handy, as I don't have to deal with all those annoying little windows.


As shown in my screenshot, I'm redesigning Alternative Internet with Dreamweaver, bringing up another feature I love: the ability to check cross-browser compatibility and validate the HTML right from the wrokspace. So not only will AI look a whole lot better, but it won't have any more HTML errors and will work better in IE (instead of just in Firefox, though why you would use anything other than Firefox I don't know).

I've begun to scare myself: I'm listening to progressive rock. I know, its scary. I'm not listening to all of it, just a particualr band: I Monster. (The link is to their myspace profile, beacuse you can listen to two of my favorite songs there). I learned about them from Shaun of the Dead (a comedy about zombies), for which one of their songs, "The Blue Wrath," was used. I looked for their music for quite a bit with little sucess, until I found their myspace profile. Now I'm a bit of a fan. My favorite songs I've hears are "The Blue Wrath," "Daydream in Blue," and "Heaven." They are worth a look no matter your musical tastes, everyone will love "The Blue Wrath," its just fun.

Congratulations! I'm very pleased for you, since you seem so pleased yourself. (Although I understood about 2% of what you were talking about, I can still tell you are really happy to own Dreamweaver.)
Have fun!
