  2. Hehehe. Your avatar picture. There are two of you there. Just wondering how advanced the younger one is.

     

    Oh. Yeah. Daniel, my brother, and my only begotten child. Yeah. He is 20 and taller than me.

     

    Back then though I would say to him, constantly, "I love you. Trust yourself. I don't give a damn what anyone else says. You trust yourself first; even before me."

     

    Yeah. The boy wisely avoids me-- who he thinks has a completely void-able view of life.

     

    Seriously, though. I raised him freer than I'll ever likely be.

     

    - Love Chris


  3. Re:"You cannot change your signature until you have 1 more approved posts"

     

    Please approve this new topic so I can change my Signature

    which as I recall links to two other topic pages on this site

    with now-archived technical info relating to this forum.

     

    Thanks.

    Desert Eagle:

     

    Just to reiterate, the %20 does represent a blank-space, but this or any other code starting with the % character is only seen in a website address ( http://... ); and that %xx code is substituting for other characters-- as in the example that %20 is substituted for the blank-space since blank-spaces are not allowed per-se in a web address. Web addresses must be a continuous string of characters unbroken by spaces or carriage returns (line-breaks)

     

    Code like (remove the spaces between characters below...)

    & n b s p ;

    ...or...

    & # 1 6 0 ;

    is HTML code used within the 'body' of a webpage.

     

    The first example above is a name-reference, and the second is a decimal-reference. They both refer to a single character and are simply two ways of defining the same character.

     

    That character, in this case, it is a non-breaking-blank-space.

     

    A non-breaking-space is a special blank-spaces in that a non-breaking-space is intended to prevent the two words on either side of it from being broken apart at the end of a line-- or in other words they will not be automatically 'wrapped'/ separated in the middle of the two words if they run out of room together at the end of a line.

     

    In any case, I appreciate your posting the image; particularly since you have now inspired me to do what I would have liked to years ago-- namely gather the full list of 65536 decimal number character references for my reference.

     

    I could not find a list, so I made my own list of 65,536 items and posted it at my website at ...

     

    HTML Character Entities Decimal-Number Encoding Reference Lists

     

    HTML character decimal references

     

    http://www.great-grandma.com/website-building-information/html-character-entities-decimal-number-encoding-reference-lists

     

    My favorites are (remove the spaces between characters below...)

    & # 9 9 9 2 ; ✈

     

    and

     

    & # 9 9 9 6 ; ✌

  5. The YouTube video above is

    THE ART OF NAVIGATION - Travels with Carlos Castaneda and Beyond - Book Trailer

    and is narrated by Felix Wolf.

     

    Felix is one of the former acquaintances of Carlos Castaneda

    and is one of the several individuals who were in the

    Tensegrity classes while CC was still alive

    and who were featured in the video

    "Enigma of a Sorcerer"

     

    Please note that although the following link

    is to the "Enigma.." video,

    and although the video plays in my FireFox browser

    when I simply click the following link,

    that might only be because I have FireFox's Options

    set to a cache of 1024 MB versus the default of 55 MB;

    and so you will most likely find it beneficial

    to download the *.avi video linked below

    before you attempt to try to play it

    instead of your simply clicking the link below.

     

    Please follow the instructions below to download the file.

    Downloading A File Onto Your Computer.

     

    When a webpage 'link' is a link

    to a file instead of a link to a new page, ..

     

    Using the mouse, 'RIGHT-Click'

    the file name link,

    and NOT the normal left-click mouse button.

     

    Then choose the drop-down menu item

    similar to the expression

    'Save Link As' (FireFox browser),

    or 'Save Target As' (Internet Explorer).

  6. Dear Webmaster:

     

    As this topic I started

    is in danger of falling off the front page of

    "Forum and Tech Support",

    and hoping as I can only do

    that this information has been and will be

    of value to your readership..

     

    ..this is another shameless educational bump.

     

    Let me know if I am irritating you,

    and it won't happen again

    as I intend to bump it again

    next time I am around,

    if needed,

    and if I live that long. << Likely.

     

    Love Chris.


  7. I always seem to have my photos narrowed horizontally. How to fix?

     

    Your Avatar image is presently based

    on an image that has a size of

    Width = 640 pixels & Height = 480 pixels,

    and is 51,887 bytes.

     

    I can Not get a copy

    of your original image

    to upload from my computer

    for use as an avatar

    although it is less than

    the requirement posted

    that it be no larger than

    90 Kila-Bytes.

     

    Since that original image

    had a pixel size greatly exceeding

    the posted recommended size of

    125 (w) x 125 (h),

    I assume then that large pixel counts

    prevent image uploading from a computer

    even when the size is less than 90kB.

     

    Therefore I am guessing

    that you originally added your avatar

    by using a URL online image link.

     

    In any case, your base image

    of size 640x480 is being reduced

    to 125x125 automatically

    but proportionately.

     

    If you enter "125" into the "Width" box,

    and enter "94" into the "Height" box,

    you image will display

    in the same proportions as your original.

     

    640/480 = 125/94

  8. DE: I saw in my eMail days and days ago

    a notice or two regarding you at this

    forum.

     

    Although I have not yet opened those

    eMails, I will .. but they reminded me

    that I wanted to find the "Bruce Lee"

    documentary I knew I had somewhere.

     

    I have finally gotten it uploaded

    into my website folder

    with the hope that you might find it

    worth viewing as I did.

     

    The folder is at ..

    RIGHT-Click a file-name,

  10. Desert Eagle:

     

    I see I inadvertently confused you.

     

    The %20 is the way a space is represented in a URL when that URL uses a

    file whose name contains a space in that file's name.

     

    This is the case with..

    http://www.meditationexpert.com/Articles/Learning%20Annex.ppt

     

    I bet the file will be found

    at its server with the name 'Learning Annex.ppt' (without quotes)

    with a space in its name.

     

    Additionally, if the file at the server is

    in a folder whose name contained a space,

    the URL would substitute a %20 for the space

    in the folder name too.

     

    I hope that is clear now as

    I did not originally phrase that well enough.

     

    If not, ask again.

  11. AnyOne:

     

    Thank you for your input.

     

    I actually find the latter books less complex because they demystify much of don Juan Matus's initial training which was more filled with trickery as dictated by Carlos' ineptness.

     

    The Wheel Of Time was just a consolidation of the first 8 books. Nothing new there.

     

    -Chris


  12. DE:

     

    I am glad to see that you got it worked out.

     

    The HTML for a space is..

     

    .. (non-breaking space;

    but I do not think that would be of any

    value to you in your URL creation.

     

    This "non-breaking space" also

    functions to keep the line from wrapping

    at that point.

     

    The "%20"is the way a space

    is represented in a

    website's filename,

    or a website folder-name

    when those names are used in a URL--

    you got that exactly right.
