Journal eugene ts wong's Journal: Update: Theatre Sports; Distribution Theory; Misc. 9

Journal by eugene ts wong

I'm still alive, as far as I can tell. But don't take my word for it, since I'm quite biased towards such ideas. ;^)

Well, as discouraged as I am, I'm feeling pretty good today, so I'm going to go back to my favourite journalizing format of proof reading a whole bunch and making sections.

Take your pick.

  • I'd like to share my experiences and thoughts on the first set of theatre sport lessons.

  • I'd like to share what I learned from reading the book, "The Tipping Point". It's about how small changes make big changes.

  • I share experiences and comment. I share how it has related to my life as a web designer.

  • I share a few short thoughts on HTML 4.01 Strict, XHTML 2.* and how people seem to react to this all.

  • When I first signed up for theatre sports, I took it in hopes that I could deal with people better. I wanted to learn about the various aspects of communication and relating. I'm not so sure that it helped in that sense. It did help a bit, I suppose. In short, I learned to listen and add to a conversation more.

    Here's a short list of the first few things that we learned. I'll explain them, then at the end of it all, I'll try to make some social commentary about liberals...I mean...various people. ;^) Seriou

      • Actually, I'm pretty sure that he said, "pimping". I guess that he meant it as a slang.

        I don't expect every person to be a great actor. I just expect them to avoid violence and vulgur behaviour.

        As for those actors, I haven't heard of them before, but I'll keep them in mind. It'll be hard to remember them, though.

        Thanks.
  • So, I finally decided to read the book, "The Tipping Point", that Sielwolf recommended. Go read the book. Seriously. All that you do now probably pales in comparison to reading that book and applying the principles. Learn to make big differences when you can and should.

    The book was basically about why and how people are so infectious with their ideas. He gave examples.

    I went in for an interview. It's not looking good. She wanted to know about my work history and why I got fired and/or moved on to other jobs. I tried to be open with why I thought that it wasn't my fault. I also tried to explain it from the employers point of view. She seemed real sympathetic which surprised me, but I don't know what to think.

    At the end of the interview, I
  • For a while, I found it a little odd that in this day and age, people are still using outdated HTML techniques. HTML isn't really a programming language because it has no variables, conditional statements or loops. I'm not a computer scientist, so I can't say what exactly makes a proper language. But still, how hard can HTML be?

    Eventually, it all began to make sense. HTML standards compliance isn't a technological issue. It's a social issue. There are always going to be people who create bad HTML.

    • you're going to tell me what's wrong with mine, right?
      • Hee, hee, hee. I never even thought about that. If you'd like some advice, free service or whatever, then I'd gladly help. However, if you're happy with what you already have, then I have no need to say anything. :^/ :^)
