Hang Out and Post

No, padding as in the layout concept. xD Basically when we code a page, we divide it up into a whole bunch of boxes. Each box can have some form of content, a border, padding (the space between the border and its content), and margins (the space between the border and other boxes). :yes:

 

The author information box on these forums doesn't have enough padding. The text is brushing up against the sides, and that bugs me.

[CAV of Gang Green]

Oh really CAV? :O I never would've guessed! You didn't let on at all! ;)

 

I know right? I'm very good at keeping these things under wraps! /sarcasm

[jumpingbeans]

I didn't know either! Stop pulling surprises on us, CAV! I thought you liked shiny unicorns.

[Spritzie]

I thought you liked shiny unicorns.

 

But of course! Who doesn't like shiny unicorns? And rainbows too.

[CAV of Gang Green]

And now you guys are pushing it. SUBJECT CHANGE!

 

Sooooo......Christmas is coming...

[Spritzie]

You're right. I'm sorry. (Sorta :P)

 

Christmas... I got a computer I'm already using from my parents. My husband is getting a laptop. So that will be awesome. I might be getting a DS. So I'm excited. And I need to get our tree. We have a pretty white one with colored lights. :yes:

[CAV of Gang Green]

I'm trying to get my grandmother and god-sister over here so we can get our tree out.

 

I'm finishing up my Christmas list, and I'm helping my brother with his. My penmanship is god-awful, which is why I learned to type at a very fast pace at a young age, so I can email my Christmas list.

[Spritzie]

I've never done a Christmas list. Last year, my husband just surprised me. Just like I did with him. Kinda. He obviously wanted an XBox 360. But I'm good at finding the perfect gifts for people.

[CAV of Gang Green]

No. Nobody in my family is good with surprises. We end up giving ourselves crappy stuff. So me and my brother are constantly asked what we want for Christmas. So we just make the lists and give them to dad, where he passes them around to the rest of the family so they know what to get us.

 

Even during birthdays people ask what I want instead of trying to surprise me, because nobody ever knows what to get me. They obviously know it's a video game, but they never know which one since I play a large array of video games. One moment I'm playing a shooter, the next moment I'm playing a puzzle game. I have variety.

[Spritzie]

I made a list for my HS graduation because my mom wanted to be able to tell people. But my family ended up being the only ones buying me stuff from it. My friends and such, came up with either own ideas. (And my grandparents gave me checks towards a computer monitor, because they wanted me to pick it out myself.)

 

I love finding gifts for people.

[IrishLiz]

Variety is good. I mostly like Nintendo/mario-style games myself.

 

Spritzie, you should totally get a DS for Christmas! They're awesome!!!!

 

I'm gonna have to decide myself if I want to upgrade to a 3DS.

[CAV of Gang Green]

I will be upgrading to the 3DS. Maybe you should wait for that Spritzie. It comes out March/April.

[Spritzie]

I can't wait to get a DS. I'm not interested in the 3DS.

 

I can't wait to play the new Pokemon games, and I'll have to get the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon - Sky.

[CAV of Gang Green]

Well I can't wait for the 3DS. To play 3D games without any glasses? And it might be under $200!? I'm sold!

 

I also can't wait for Pokemon White.

[Spritzie]

I'm not big on the whole 3D phase. I just don't see the appeal. That's why I'll be getting a regular DS.

 

I think I'm going to be playing Platinum next.

[:)Doc]

And I need to get our tree. We have a pretty white one with colored lights. :yes:

 

We can't get out our tree this year. I don't think so anyways :(

[CAV of Gang Green]

I think 3D is being overdone in movies. Nobody dared to touch it. Avatar does it, and now look at how many 3D movies there are.

 

It all comes down to MONEY. Some places and things do 3D to the point that they don't deserve my money (Alpha and Omega, 3D TVs, Tangled). Other things do 3D to the point that I DO want to spend my money on it (3DS, How To Train Your Dragon, Avatar).

 

3D is cool for me, but I don't like the reason why every movie business jumped on it. It's not because they want to entertain people; it's just because they want more green paper.

 

EDIT: Ninja'd by Doc. Why can't you get a tree?

[:)Doc]

Duh! I AM a ninja. :ph34r:

 

We're getting tile done in half of our house the 13th. My dad says they won't be done in enough time for us to put out our Tree. :(

 

We're getting it in the living room, kitchen, hallway, the laundry corner, and both bathrooms. I'm gonna need some more socks for the cold mornings/nights <_<

[jesse_rocket]

3D in movies gives me a headache :(

 

I am intrigued by the 3DS though, I'll likely want to replace my DS Lite with it at some point. I got my husband a DSi when they first came out and felt completely gipped at my lack of all the awesome features it has, so I think I'm due something cool and new :D

I hate that. My parents' town home has mostly wood floors with tile in the bathrooms. The floors are always freezing. I never go there without socks.

[CAV of Gang Green]

My house is a mix of flooring. My dad's room, living room, and back room have carpet. The bathroom and kitchen have tiles. And my room has a nice wood polish.

That sucks. Ask your father if you can delay the tile work.

I remember when I had the old bulky DS. My brother got the special Pokemond Diamond/Pearl DS Lite. I didn't feel too bad, since I still had a working DS. I traded it in so I can upgrade to the DSi. And my uncle got us both the DSi XL to share. Now I'll be upgrading to the 3DS when it arrives.

 

 

This is what my brother has. It looks great, but he covered it with a green lightning skin.

[Spritzie]

That does look really cool. My husband wants the special Link edition of the DS. (He also wants a Red Mario Wii.)

[jesse_rocket]

Oohh that Diamond/Pearl DS Lite is PRETTY. I'm shocked anyone would want to cover that graphic up!

 

Also, aw, Hammertime person, that's so lame about a lack of tree :(

[CAV of Gang Green]

My brother really wanted the skin. I tried to stop him, but he didn't want to hear it. Whatever.

 

@Spritzie My father hates the Red Mario Wii. I just have the plain white one.

 

I need to get a classic controller for the Wii. I figured that I would need to get it sooner or later, so I figured to get it now. Fortunately, the Wii remake of Goldeneye 007 has a bundle that comes with a gold classic controller.

 

 

The game and controller are selling for $50 on Amazon. That's the price of the game alone, so it's a great deal! It's on my Christmas list.

I'm glad they redesigned the box for Goldeneye, from how the N64 box was.

 

 

They're right. I can't unsee it.
