  learning something new....on LUGNET
 
I guess it is possible to learn something new...(hopefully this happens every day...) :) Anyways, I looked at the bottom of the message, and I realize that it now lets you either spotlight or highlight an article you just read. I think this is cool. (...) (22 years ago, 25-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.general)
 
  Volume control 2 second mod
 
I thought this was cute, and as everyone and their pet anchovie seems to have one of these external volume control knobs now, maybe it can liven up someone elses desk too! (URL) on! (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Javascript Popunder window
 
(...) Ah, see, "unobtrusive" is where you make your mistake. Most people view popunders as *very* obtrusive. Same with pages that come up when you try to click on a link to go somewhere else. And while I'm at it, also pages which take it upon (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Javascript Popunder window
 
(...) No problem. Just stop thinking banner......... start thinking 'logo'. Have yourself or a graphic artist do up a professional looking logo graphic for you. Put this *reasonable* sized graphic at the bottom of each and every page you make. Make (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Javascript Popunder window
 
Hi all, Sorry i think people have got the wrong end of the stick, i am going to try and start a webdesign company and want to put my banner on all pages i create, but a banner can really screw up how a framed page looks, and ruins the design, so i (...)

(...) Nope, it's much worse. And what's more, neither one is going to make you much money. The only form of online sponsorship that is at all lucrative (and even then, it isn't very lucrative usually) on the small scale is to join affiliate programs (...)

  Re: Javascript Popunder window
 
(...) In most cases no, it's way more annoying. In my particular case, I'll never know if it is or not because I use Popup Stopper from panicware.com. I would have seen your banner ad, but whatever is in your popup won't be seen by me. (22 years ago, 17-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Javascript Popunder window
 
(...) Totally not. A banner ad you can ignore or scroll past. A popunder window you have to actively close (while still ignoring the contents -- sorry, you can't force people to pay attention to things). Don't make me do crap work just for visiting (...)

  Re: Javascript Popunder window
 
Thanks, I found out how to do it anyway muwhahah :-) Surely a popunder window is neater than a big ugly banner add at the top of the page? TTFN Peter N ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Miller" <mattdm@mattdm.org> To: (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Another fine use for LEGO
 
(...) Well, you could have posted to lugnet.fun, or lugnet.general. I think the reason lugnet.off-topic.geek exists is a recognition that many (most?) of us are also involved in things of a geeky nature, and that it is natural for us to want to talk (...)

  Re: at what price does the 4561 become good for parts?
 
Why is it that in Mike's reply to Ahui the part written by Ahui is missing the lower case k's and l's?

  Re: BI Portal site re-launches!
 
(...) It also depends on the database usage - if updates are frequent, de-normalised databases start losing their efficiency, but with a database such as this, that shouldn't be a big issue. You can make the update code simpler by using stored (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
