Quickie before bed
I don’t think anyone knew it existed, but I used to have a site called Eldalambë.com. Roughly translated it means “Elvish language”. Predictably, it was a site built to host LOTR and Quenya-related tengwar writings, although after the site was finished I only ever made two postings on it. I liked the design simply because I didn’t have a clue what I was doing with absolute positioning.
Nevertheless, I’ve put the contents back online: Eldalambë. You will need Tengwar fonts. There’s a link for them given at the bottom of that page. Please also note the description of Internet Explorer as a POS. This has not changed since, and will not change with the release of IE7.
I’ll fix that horrendous example of code buggery soon.

Another quick tangential thought from my earlier post about distributors lying about their movies: Code 46. What follows is a general warning. I watched the trailer for this over a year ago and lunged at the shelf when I saw it on DVD. I wish I hadn’t. Anyone wishing to see this film should watch the trailer immediately afterward for possibly the biggest contrivance ever. Fast-paced science-fiction thriller, my arse. When Michael starts taking potshots at characters during the film you know it’s not good. This movie’s trailer was a complete lie.
PS. Do not watch Straight Jacket, ever. If it means a permanent loss of function, so be it.
