Space Forum / Astronomy / July 2008Pingin' oc - check this out
I was browsin' yer web pages again and noticed something you might wanna try out to see if you like it. Here's yer typical <body> tag... <body text="#cccccc" bgcolor="#333333" link="#ffcc00" vlink="#ffff99" background="clipart/styleMedia/spacefield.gif"> At the end, try placing this command... bgproperties="fixed" So yer typical <body> tag becomes... <body text="#cccccc" bgcolor="#333333" link="#ffcc00" vlink="#ffff99" background="clipart/styleMedia/spacefield.gif" bgproperties="fixed"> ...and see how you like it! It'll look like this... http://paine_ellsworth.home.att.net/ocindexplus.html See how the background stays in place as you scroll down? Pretty cool. Anybody else who reads this... If you also like the "fixed" command, then feel free to use it on your website! happy days and... starry starry nights!  SignatureIndelibly yours, Paine Ellsworth P.S.: Thank YOU for reading!

A few years back i learned all i could about "html", and i came across that little gem that very few people seem to know about. Been using it on many of my web pages for years. It's especially good with "sky" type backgrounds. More realistic when the sky stays in place while you scroll. happy days and... starry starry nights!

One big quandary is how in the hell to access NGs on any venue except Google Groups (and the old 'oxcart' standby, Webtv). The !@#$%^&* G.G. absolutely sucks. It 'times out' after a few minutes, then throws up a flag saying, "We're Sorry, but your rig looks to be infected with a virus or spyware" or some such, and then locks out. Then you have to shut the damn rig down and wait a while, then boot it back up, and G.G. is good for another few minutes, then locks out again. Well, if the rig is indeed "infected", why in the hell does G.G. work at all before locking out? And why does G.G. seem to have a near-total monopoly on the NG scene? Bamboozled, but keepin' on pluggin'. :-) > I'm still a neophyte/dummy/klutzoid at this kind of stuff.

Right now, if you want to access UseNet using a web-based medium, Google's about all there is that's even remotely adequate. I've never liked web-based newsgroup readers. They have always left much to be desired. I've used Micro- soft's Outlook Express for quite a while, now. I'm not really crazy about it, because it seems to get worse every year, and Microsoft doesn't appear to give a sh.t. I used Agent, well the free version, "Free Agent" many years ago, and i liked it. But it still left a little to be desired. I've come to the conclusion that there are no "great" free readers out there, one or two "fairly good" ones, and a whole slew of mediocre reader software. And i wouldn't be surprised if GG doesn't start phasing out UseNet soon and then sticking with only its internal "Google Groups". I think there's still a big global demand for UseNet, but if people don't start making some noise, soon there won't be any decent way to read it! happy days and... starry starry nights!
