Subject: Unadulterated suckup hero worship! From: Liz the Squeak Date: 14 Sep 02 - 02:20 AM Spaw is wonderful. He's fantastic, lovely, amazing, wonderful, gorgeous, talented, lovely, wonderful, skillful and wonderful. After years of me trying and having dismal failures, despite therapy and training sessions, there's one thing I've not been able to do. I follow the wonderful mans' instructions and lo! I can do blickies, clickies, blue clicky things, hyperlinks, hypertext links, whatever the FAQ you want to call them! I CAN DO THEM!!!! Best birthday present so far! LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Unadulterated suckup hero worship! From: Banjer Date: 14 Sep 02 - 06:15 AM I already have the technology to do clickies, but thanks to that thread I learned how to do a separate window clickie thanks to Peter-from-Essex! Thanks!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Unadulterated suckup hero worship! From: Liz the Squeak Date: 14 Sep 02 - 06:40 AM I'd nominate it for this months' "Thread of the month" enabling Spaw the Sainted to wear a paper plate halo and a badge with a star on it. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Unadulterated suckup hero worship! From: Murray MacLeod Date: 14 Sep 02 - 07:37 AM It has to be admitted that Spaw gave the best instructions I have ever read on how to do a blicky. I have never wavered in my admiration for the man's intellectual abilities, which, I am only too keenly aware, outstrip mine by a considerable margin. I can take consolation only in the fact that I am much better looking than he is ..... Murray |

Subject: RE: BS: Unadulterated suckup hero worship! From: mack/misophist Date: 14 Sep 02 - 10:09 AM Actually making them has never been that hard for me. My problem has always been that - since I almost never NEED to make them, when I do need to, I've forgotten how. Next question: how do you remember how to do it? |

Subject: RE: BS: Unadulterated suckup hero worship! From: Rick Fielding Date: 14 Sep 02 - 10:37 AM Way to go, Liz! For what it's worth folks...I actually COINED the term "Blue Clicky" (Joe Offer will confirm) but still couldn't do it for almost two years after. Great Mudcat minds tried to help me to no avail......until..... PETER T managed to explain it in language so basic that even a three year old could understand. Errr...make that a three year old with a TERRIBLE memory. Within two days I'd forgotten the whole damn thing, so much to Heather's disgust, I've written (in black felt pen) on the front of our computer. Sad, isn't it? Cheers Rick |

Subject: RE: BS: Unadulterated suckup hero worship! From: C-flat Date: 14 Sep 02 - 10:40 AM I have it written "Spaw-style" on a piece of paper. Despite being surrounded by technology I still have to resort to rummaging through my desk for pen and paper. The words "Old dogs" and "New tricks" spring to mind. C-flat. |

Subject: RE: BS: Unadulterated suckup hero worship! From: WyoWoman Date: 14 Sep 02 - 11:54 AM I remember it by a fiendishly simple technique. I printed out the code string (a href=htt etc ...) in VERY LARGE BLUE LETTERS and pasted it all the way across the bottom of my desktop. This way if I wander in in the middle of the night without my specs on I can still see the big letters. And since I did that, I've maybe used it three times. BUT ... it's there when I need it. And I love the term "blicky" or "blue clicky thing." For some reason, 'puter grates on my nerves. Maybe because it's too fond ... xo/ww |

Subject: RE: BS: Unadulterated suckup hero worship! From: Joe Offer Date: 14 Sep 02 - 04:32 PM Gee, last month, Liz was calling me gorgeous. Now she's run off with Spaw. I dunno. I just don't know... -Joe Offer, jilted-

Subject: RE: BS: Unadulterated suckup hero worship! From: catspaw49 Date: 14 Sep 02 - 05:42 PM I'm not worthy.. I'm not worthy.. I'm not worthy.. Thank you Liz for the praise. Didja' know I used to write tech tips for mechanics? I found out early on that the only way anyone could really get "it" was to break it down into the smallest possible bites....or in this case bytes. Glad it helped.........and Murray---You may be right. Maybe...... Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Unadulterated suckup hero worship! From: Liz the Squeak Date: 14 Sep 02 - 06:16 PM Yeah, well Joe, you didn't come across after all the hints, so a girl has to get it where she can. I seem to have reached that stage in life where the only birthday kisses I get are from gay guys or girl friends. But if Spaw should find he can't make it, you're already at first base OK? How to remember it? I pasted and copied it to a Word doc which now sits on my desktop. Maybe Spaw should publish.... Blickies for Thickies would be a good title.... LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Unadulterated suckup hero worship! From: Liz the Squeak Date: 15 Sep 02 - 03:56 AM I still think Joe is gorgeous too, but as I said, he didn't come across with any goods, so Spaw beat him to the post..... However, I have kissed Joe.... LTS (And very nice it was too... I love the thing he does with that beard.....) |
