My computer is fixed! My Web Search had infiltrated some hard to reach places but like Julie with a paring knife extracting marrow from a bone, hubby and I managed to dig the little bastard out. With the help of AdAware, SpyBot and RunAlyze.
Since then I’ve actually been able to load pages which is cool because it meant that I could check out what was being talked about on a very interesting blog called recommended because for some reason the rss feed doesnt give me the goods. That led me to Websites as graphs in which a graph of my blog was made. It looks like this:
What do the colors mean?
blue: for links (the A tag)
red: for tables (TABLE, TR and TD tags)
green: for the DIV tag
violet: for images (the IMG tag)
yellow: for forms (FORM, INPUT, TEXTAREA, SELECT and OPTION tags)
orange: for linebreaks and blockquotes (BR, P, and BLOCKQUOTE tags)
black: the HTML tag, the root node
gray: all other tags
So that’s cool. I can see where the html starts and then to the top left is all the sidebar stuff because that’s the only place I use tables, for the dropdown menus (I’m sorry if you’re using IE, I haven’t got them working there yet, I suggest you download Firefox – it’s better!). Then the orange balls at the bottom right are my posts, and the rest with all the DIVs is the general layout I guess.
Then the person who made this applet also leads us to their other project which is both ingenuitive and weird. It’s 1000 paintings where there are 1000 numbers painted onto canvases therefore each number is unique, each painting unique! This person is also in a band and I have downloaded their free mp3 from the applet info site but their whole band site is flash which if you’ve been reading here for a while you’ll know that I am not impressed by flash, so I didn’t go to deep there.
Via recommended I also visited VaVaVoom. I like that blog.
Anthony White started his Money Series at one Australian dollar and it continues up in one dollar increments. When he sells one painting in the series for the dollar amount on the canvas he then works on selling the next one in the series. He has also branched out into British Pounds and US dollars. You can see his work at http://www.anthonywhite.net
I think I find the simplicity of Anthony White’s pricing of his “Money Series†more interesting than Zala’s One Thousand Paintings. White probably highlights the relationship between art and money better.
Recommended and Va Va Voom are awesome blogs! I read them regularly.
