Asymptomatic

There must be intelligent life down here

School, Alias, War

Well, school went by blazingly slow last night.  My analytical writing class is a real snoozer.  I actually spent a lot of time doing my assignments for class incorrectly, and was pretty disappointed to find out that I wasn't supposed to analyze the writing, but report what was written.

Besides that, isn't it a bit demanding to assign a one-page paper on an article that's only 2 pages long?  What am I supposed to say without plagiarizing the whole thing?

New PageCat Spelling Feature

I added a feature to PageCat that lets me check the spelling of articles directly from the server via the HTML WYSIWYG editor.  You simply click the Check Spelling button and it underlines each possible mistake with a dotted red line, telling you how many mistakes it detected.  If it finds no mistakes, it tells you so.

You can then highlight an entire misspelled word (by double-clicking), then right-click on it to pop up the context menu.  The context menu will display a short list (5) of suggestions for replacement.  You click on one of the options that appears, and the word is replaced.  Otherwise, you can just highlight the word and type over it.

Asymptomatic Backlog

I was considering the number of articles that I have posted on the site so far this year when it ocurred to me that I really have been doing this for a long time.  Maybe not as consistently in the past as I do now, but I certainly have a lot of material archived.

So I went back to take a look at the database from the second incarnation of Asymptomatic.  There aren't really a whole lot of records there (I wasn't on the NT platform for very long, and it didn't work very well when I was), but there are some significant entries.  For example, everything that I've written for Sundown is in that archived database.  That amounts to pages and pages of content.
