Sat 2007 May 27·New version
of
Halloween Party invitation, suitable for
printing. (See link at bottom of page.)
·Tired of
the old ones, designed new logos for
the
Head Shop.
·Altered the
printing versions of many pages, especially page headers. Also changed some
bits of styling here and there. Lots of changes you probably won't ever
notice.
Sun 2007 May 13Errr... a dropped
semi-colon in a program I wrote to maintain link & meta information in HTML
headers (nothing the average browser would care about) caused many unintended
linefeeds to occur in the web pages, which resulted in some unintended display
errors. Most have been fixed, with the exception of many unintended line-feeds
in song lyrics, which are being brought under control one at a time (which is
how life works).

God and Pot

2007 May 03 ·Added
chords to the songs
Why? (Kiddism version)
and

·Altered the print stylesheet to allow song verses to be printed in
columns, and tweaked many song pages in various sections to print verses in
columns and otherwise make the print-outs less paper-consuming.

I've re-designed hundreds of pages to allow for a better print-out, should you
choose to use dead trees. These are not separate print-out pages, but each page
designed to format differently on screen and in print. (Other media formats to
follow in time, for those who need them.) Print-outs will now (usually) take up
less paper than the equivalent screen display. Onscreen links and some other
material will be missing from the print versions, and some of the print
versions will have information (e.g. web addresses printed out) that are not
seen onscreen. The printouts have only been tested on a 8.5" * 11"
portrait-oriented page, with the browser set for a tight .2cm margin all
around, and no headers or footers. If you use other settings, your results may
vary. Fully tested with the

pera and
Internet Explorer browsers. Full testing on others yet to come. There are
problems. On songs, the "page-break-avoid" attribute which keeps a verse of a
song confined to a single printed page doesn't work on IE, a known bug.
Most pages work as intended in IE. I only found one other failure with IE,
and there are a couple of glitches with Opera. If
you spot problems,
write the
webmaster@mindfulwebworks.com .

smiles, irony, pathos, the macabre, that kind of thing. The rambling family

2007 Apr 19 — Added to

In honor of the new Mindful Webworks domain, the first Mindful
cartoon webwork ever posted, back online for the first time in many years. Much
more to follow!

Once upon a time I was a customer of CompuServe, a protected
electronic preserve well before the wilds of the Internet became popular. As
Internet popularity increased, CompuServe brought its customers net service
with all the alacrity of Red China embracing free markets and religious
liberty. Seemed forever before we could email outside the confines of
CompuServe. Eventually, rather than do the intelligent thing and morph into an
Internet Service Provider, CompuServe created its own ISP, called Sprynet. Thus
it was that http://home.sprynet.com/~mindful/ was the first home of
Mindful Webworks online. Reluctantly, but eventually, I dropped
CompuServe. Sprynet got eaten by MindSpring (no relation) and MindSpring got
gobbled up by Earthlink, which at this writing is still the gobbler and nobody
else's gobblee yet. For a long time, Mindful Webworks were a subordinate
folder at http://www.us75.com/mindful/. Without any direct links from the
site's home page. MW became wandering, lost. Evicted by us75.com/, the
Mindful Webworks became a squatter at another available website that
us75.com/ had with CableOne, its latest and most cumbersome address,
http://myweb.cableone.net/us75com/home.html.
Now, at last, after eleven years online, Mindul has its domain, as of
2007-March-17. Material will be coming online shortly. Watch this space.
Until we get completely
transferred to this new domain, the old Mindful website is still available for
your perusal.
