TIN05: having to do pixel-perfect html&css to match image, an exercise that felt really bad

Today i were doing a homework assignment task (https://kino.vm.wmi.amu.edu.pl/05en.htm#assessment-tasks) where we got an image and had to remake this: <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Document Title</title> <!-- external CSS link --> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/reset.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css"> </head> <body> <div class="page"> About Spirit has been working in the flower industry for 20 years.

can we have parameter entities in ATTLIST for reuse of attributes specification? #xml #dtd

*See this very post on wiki1.* On Dec 1, 2013, user Sammi De Guzman asked on StackOverflow: (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20308365) How do I declare attributes common to multiple elements? I have multiple elements I want to give these attributes: Is this possible somehow in DTD, or will I have to do it manually? (Also, while I\’m here, I don\’t think it was such a good idea to declare the margin and padding attributes that way.

I just bought an Optima SP20 typewriter

I just bought an Optima SP20 typewriter, in Polish layout. It costed me 39PLN + 21PLN shipping. It is an electronic typewriter, of German production, based on a ZILOG 1701 processor, which, as seller says, “is similar in semantics to c64”. In the posting it was described as equipped with an original ink ribbon, and previously serving for “machine print” on labels of 3.5” soft floppies for Amiga. “Very beautifully those labels present, if someone wants even a book could be written on it.

DWIN4: Generate BMP that will achieve best compression coefficient with JPEG

So, as i wrote in the post about DWIN5 from moments ago, I now have everything from the winter semester passed besides one thing — DWIN, or “Introduction to Computer Science”; basically I haven’t been doing homework most of the time from it and now I have to correct the grade by submitting all of them by March 11th. One of the tasks from the DWIN4 set is about generating a BMP file that will achieve best compression coeffiient with JPEG.

DWIN5: Looking for an online DTD/XML validator that accepts param entities in ATTLIST

So, I now have everything from the winter semester passed besides one thing — DWIN, or “Introduction to Computer Science”. Basically I haven’t been doing homework most of the time from it and now I have to correct the grade by submitting all of them by March 11th. One of the tasks, DWIN5, is about writing an XML DTD. The one i wrote does a lot of ATTLIST reuse, so i found a stackoverflow answer https://stackoverflow.

Seeking a way to blog privately: I made a diasp.org Diaspora account

I have decided to try creating a Diaspora account on a pod (instance) operated by a third party, choosing diasp.org for no good reason. My account there is mkf@diasp.org — https://diasp.org/people/ef8038e035b80138b919047d7b62795e As I am still hesitant to rely on that pod, unsure whether i could be at risk of losing data there, i am not sure if i will choose to use it for the purpose for which I am presently using Google Sites.

Yesterday night's TT thread: Not long ago i learned what a panic attack really is. On myself. […] Somehow i never would have thought that was it.

On the night from Wednesday to Thursday, 12⁄13 Feb 2020, at 1~2AM 13Feb, i posted a thread of some tweets about my learnings about my panic attacks triggered by human-body-workings thinking. https://twitter.com/mikrfe/status/1227750240842698753 I copypasted most of it below, taking care of thread-forks. See the link above for everything — im not gonna delete, but im not feeling like boosting everything. Not long ago i learned what a panic attack really is.

MKFmindposting on Google Sites

I have recently been considering having a platform for privately shared thoughts, but always being annoyed with twitter or fedi private accounts having only one designated “circle”, in Google+ nomenclature. And Google+ is defunct now. So I decided to set up something that would have proper ACLs. Besides Facebook, which is bad&boycotted, and also presents the ACLs to everyone included in them, my only option seemed to have some kind of a website.

My hoping for grade on Education on informational resources 2019/20 @ WMI AMU, **UPDATED**

There is a course here on WMI AMU that gives zero ECTS but is obligatory and serves as just making sure that students know how to use library and how to cite and stuff. It is called “Education on information resources” (“Edukacja informacyjna i źródłowa”, literally “Education on information and sources”). The last academic year i somehow missed being signed up for it, and also I thought it is just a single class happening in meatspace in the library.

Today I asked on Super User: Are .gitignore files from directories above the repository's or from home directory loaded in any versions of Git?
