  • my thought process doesn't seem to follow a fully rational path (re blog layout)

    I like my design. A lot. In particular there are some gimmicks here and there I could use for various related (but not the same) purposes – some of them are technically possible, some of them are possible but not semantically correct (from the point of view of WordPress PHP flow) and some just don’t work. Yet.

    On the top left corner I’ve got a position:fixed; DIV item that shows the “post” icon and “Private Notes” link (when logged in) plus the left arrow and right arrow to turn pages while browsing categories. This section is outside the loop. When viewing individual posts, I would like these arrows to instead function as the next post, previous post links (and have the post title as ALT) that currently sit on the bottom of the left column, which are kind of ugly right now.

    Also, I would like a tiny print icon for printing mode, when the post is a “paper” category. (shows an alternate CSS set with double spacing etc, which I used for actual papers later in my senior year)

    But both features need to lie within the loop.

    One way of making it work would be handling separate sidebar.php files depending on is_single() but that will be a heck lot of work, and most importantly, it’s not elegant and any changes in the future will cost tons of time.

    Hmm.

  • revolutionary trotskyists supporting state intervention?

    there were at least 5 groups sellings newspapers and handing out flyers at tonight’s gulf coast resistance movements solidarity fundraising.. wow. One guy handed me this flyer about an event this saturday afternoon (Rally to Free Mumia Abu-Jamal, Lynne Stewart, and Assata Shakur, Imma Presb Church 4pm) and I heard Mumia’s name before, probably from Joy James or andrè carrington. I felt so sorry to the white dude talking to me while I was skimming the flyer and thinking about where I had heard of Mumia, because he was going 180km/h about communism and revolutionary internationalism and the prisons and this and that and I was paying scanty attention.. but sir, you need to wait a bit while I’m not looking at you! Anyway, towards the end of it I heard something to the order of the USSR communist experiment having failed because it had stayed isolationist, satisfied at the revolution within the nation (Stalin’s line), so I commented, “but on the other hand they relied too much on state power to bring about the revolution”, and he went on about states being necessary to fend off imperialist aggression, so I asked him if he belonged to CPUSA, and he goes no, they betrayed the revolutionary marxist analysis a while ago, so maybe it’s a branch of the SWP? and he goes no, we split from them a while ago.. so who are these guys? and how can trotskyists or any branch thereof argue in favor of state-based defense against imperialism?

  • relationships on the bus

    even though I felt as if my main problem as an organizer, an utter inability to establish relationships with bus riders was on the way to be solved as I tried a different approach yesterday at the BRU organizing drive (for general membership), I’m skeptic on two aspects of said improvement

    1. Was it really better? I first talked with a riders who had already talked with K (but then he didn’t tell me he had talked – did he want to talk more? To me he seemed to be pulling out his arguments/stories from the basic education you acquire in undegrad (chiefly, his analysis of capitalism from an almost purely economistic determinist perspective – which led to a general lack of hope towards the movement). Second I talked with a former BRU member, still supportive but not paying his dues/not attending meetings.

  • Hey who’s that Yongho Can’t recognize myself anymore…

    Hey, who’s that Yongho? Can’t recognize myself anymore – that’s so scary.

    Kuwata: so can anyone explain why our EDTA chelate will only hydrolize four ions and not these (indicates possible inner hydrogen ligands) other two? Would you predict they will hydrolize as the titration is put forward or maybe during a back titration?
    Yongho: Well probably it’s because of the intramolecular forces, mainly oxide groups put so close together.. and the increase of ionic radius because of hydrolysis… (bunch of inconvex facts) from which we could predict a complete octahedral chelating effect after the second titration point.
    Kuwata: Actually, … you make a good point, but at the conclusion you’re completely wrong.

  • PTI's marketting strategy

    So, I visited back the thread on CivicSpace for Labor Unions and found some collaboration effort going on. Decided to follow one of those “Labor Relations” links that union busting companies paid Google for its adsense propaganda, and found PTI. Hmm.. these folks are hilarious. PTI shows you some figures about how much unions cost the employer, and incite: “How can you afford not to launch a full-scale anti-union campaign?” Har har.

  • UCLA Library | Borrowing | Library Cards

    UCLA Library | Borrowing | Library Cards

    Community College w/TAP => free cards (but this requires a Honors Board signature, seems to be restricted to students aiming to transfer to UCLA)
    Access-only cards => free
    Non-students => $100/year (5 books at a time) or $250 (ten)

    And the front page says “It has a big front door, too. UCLA is a public university”.

    Public university my ass. Macalester was more accessible.
