Two Words: Grow Up

When bad luck hits you, you can never evade it. I went to Prints & Ads today to finally make the two additional Tubao shirt orders. But then, I was told that they already burned the screen. Like, what? I was like, just calling you about two weeks ago and you guys assured me that I can still get the shirts! Blah. What else can I do anyway? Prior to that, I was at Robinson’s Place, getting a haircut at David’s Salon. The barber that handled me was a girl. C’mon, her hands seem to tremble while holding that electric razor and she even has to hold it with both hands (showing that it’s really not her thing, I believe). Plus, she makes bothersome head gestures something like, saying to herself, “Uh-oh, I cut it wrong.” I did not like the outcome. P132.00 put to waste. I should have simply been to Ricky Reyes just like last December. (The girl actually asked me where I got my last haircut.)

To kill the time, I planned to watch Sweeney Todd. However, it turns out that it’s already out of the list. I find the poster of Alien VS Predator 2 fascinating so I watched it instead. And besides, I used to watch its ‘separate’ movies before — Predator and Alien Resurrection. Well, that was my fate in the city today. The weekend’s a long one because Monday is a holiday in Iloilo (Emilio Javier Day). And.. I’ll be posting the books I bought this semester. I love all of them, really. ๐Ÿ˜†

Database System Concepts by Abraham Silberschatz, Henry F. Korth, and S. Sudarshan: CMSC127 Operating System Principles by Abraham Silberschatz, Peter Baer Galvin, and Greg Gagne: CMSC125
Linear Algebra With Applications by Bernard Kolman and David R. Hill: Math114 Concepts of Programming Languages by Robert W. Sebesta: CMSC124

Lastly, I’ve uploaded the video in UP, Ang Galing Mo!? and thanks to alexking.org for the WP Grins plugin (at last).

Removing iframe Horizontal Scrollbar

Posted on February 6, 2008 at 16:14 XHTML 8 Comments

Oh c’mon! A few days ago, I was already about to die trying to remove a freakin’ horizontal scrollbar of the iframe in this fanlisting. The problem is only associated with Internet Explorer. :devil: The last resort I could do was to compare it line after line with another code that does not show the said scrollbar. So how did it turn out? Well, the only thing that was missing was a line before the document type declaration (DTD). I then remembered that the same thing holds true for the scrollbar colors that are not supported in Firefox (I used to do it before). So anyway, for instance, the first line of the code should not be:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Instead,

<!--anything goes here (perhaps even a blank line)-->

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Whew, glad I did it. And oh, please bear with the title of this post. :sweat:

On other whatnots…
