All these years I've been working on my pool playing skills and refining my ability to throw back shots of alcohol like they're water, and all you need to impress boys in bars are a few well placed phrases in conversation...
A few weeks back, while out on a Friday night with the girls, i met a group of men in a bar in darlinghurst. It turned out they were software developers or something. Had some interesting conversation and many cocktails....
I bumped into them again on Friday night, and one of them, who I'd barely spoken to last time, remembered me purely because I had previously mentioned my fondness for Macgyver during my younger years. He queried what I was doing this weekend and I told him of my plans to code CSS, I've never seen someone get so quietly excited about stumbling upon a kindred spirit before. It was charming! He told me about a group of coders meet around darlinghurst every month. Apparently anyone can just rock up, and everyone just sits around drinking coffee and coding. I told him I really was a novice and would feel way too intimidated to turn up in a group like that, but he said they'd be cool. I get the impression they'd just love it if someone wanted to talk about coding with them... Anyway, he muttered something about feeling overwhelmed by all the people contact in the bar, and that he needed a computer or something and disappeared before I got a chance to give him my number...shame. He was cute and smart, just the way I like 'em...
So I've been having a crack at this CSS stuff and really liking it! I'm not creating grand art works or anything - yet! I've still been working on my site's home page (as a template), with most of the css in an external style sheet. I've been working my way through the W3schools tutorials and just applying bits I want to try. I'm going to try to do it all myself rather than visit one of those sites that give you all the layout code. Unless I get stuck.
Anyway, can't chat, coding...
