City of Heroes had a promotional 5 day reactivation for old subscribers over the Memorial Day weekend. Since Dark Affliction was over 20th level, this gave me an opportunity to get him a cape. Woo. They're pretty well done and the options are nice. Unfortunately, the rest of the game is pretty much how I remember it. Combat is rather repetitive, and there's nothing to the game but combat. Progress is glacial and in the brief time my account was reactivated, I gained more XP debt than actual XP.

Couldn't get the CSS to work exactly as I expected on Mozilla, but I did manage to find a workaround that seems to sit happily with both IE and Mozilla. So, close enough.

I put my new style sheets online, intending to replace my old system of tables and images to create the single-line white borders around the blocks of text. Unfortunately, while this renders as intended in IE6, Mozilla 1.7.6 doesn't align the dates right and has the middle line running past the right side border. *grumble* So either I'll figure out how to work it properly on both or I'll go back to the old system.

"When it comes to rancorous debates in which the two sides routinely talk past each other, gun control ranks up there with abortion and the death penalty. Last year Abigail A. Kohn, an anthropologist trained at the University of California at San Francisco, bravely waded into this battle with Shooters: Myths and Realities of Americas Gun Cultures (Oxford University Press). A sympathetic portrait of gun enthusiasts in Northern California, the book ends with a plea for a calmer discussion of guns and crime. Reason asked Kohn to summarize her argument and invited responses from three people with an interest in this area: civil liberties lawyer Don B. Kates, journalist Wendy Kaminer, and law professor Michael I. Krauss."
