After Da Vinci's Second Episode

[dewline]

I just finished watching the second installment of Da Vinci's City Hall tonight about half an hour ago. I liked it. Very much. Haddock, Campbell and the rest of the gang are doing a good job keeping me interested in what's going on in their version of Vancouver, BC, and keeping all the balls in play. I know a few novelists and comics guys who do well to keep an eye on this show.

SPOILERS:

Am I the only viewer who saw that homeless guy with the shopping cart walking down the street at the end after Dominic and Police Chief Jacobs have their little conference by ambush as a "clock's ticking on this problem, people!" notice?

END SPOILERS

Anyway...the First Book of Gomery is now out. I've heard it's going for C$50 for anyone interested in buying a copy. True?

I'd be saddened to see that be the case, for any number of reasons tied to the public good. It ought to be at the top of the best-seller lists in Canada, in fact.

Just a thought.

More, possibly on lotteries or dip pen nibs for comics work...or both, tomorrow night.

Meantime, back to you. Talk to me.

I don't care personally, but I think I'd better warn you about your whited-out spoiler text. When people look at their Friends list, they see the Friends posts in the same format as their own main page. My LiveJournal has a black background, and the "hidden" text in your post was in clear view. Actually, it was brighter than the text around it and caught my eye.

Made me laugh.

Okay, I obviously need to re-read my HTML textbooks. Recommended tactics?

Livejournal has a thing called a LJ Cut that might be handy for that sort of thing. Basically you can't see the text or picture unless you click on the cut or go to the comments page. It's in the help section, I can never remember the exact coding myself.

LJ cuts are also useful if you ever decide to post huge rants or entire photo albums, so you don't clog up other peoples' Friends lists.

Solved...

...with help from Mario. I must remember the Cut feature, though...and so should some of my Friends so that they don't accidentally shock each other or strangers! :D
