Small things can produce smaller things

[lathany]

Bea has been playing with the computer (again). Consequently LJ, the default page and half a dozen other things are now in a much smaller font size. I don't know how she does it. However, explanations of how to change it back (which I assume will include a reboot) appreciated. I've already checked the "Display" stuff and it doesn't seem to have what I want.

Parent and Toddler group this morning was a bit of a surprise. It was Femmy's (not quite sure how his name is spelt) birthday party and the usual state of affairs is that Bea eats and eats until I drag her away from the table whilst Ryan has half a biscuit, gets bored and then retreats to a quiet corner with a toy. However, today, Ryan ate more food than he usually gets through in a week. And afterwards he was playing with the other kids (no, really!). I was pleased. And stunned.

Afterwards I took them to Tesco (our usual, daily, visit) and, on arriving home, our "Bag for Life" (the life of what exactly?) split in a new way. The handle came off. Quick thinking (OK, mostly because I still had hold of the other handle) saved me from littering my shopping across the doorstep. However, I think I prefer the old fashioned way of dying where all the holes appear in the bottom. Slowly.

Ctrl + mouse wheel.

Sorry, that's for IE, don't know whether it works elsewhere.

[lathany.livejournal.com]

Yep, that works too. Which also explains how she did it in the first place.

[sea-of-flame.livejournal.com]

I did it a number of times by accident myself before I figured the trick - it's made more complicated by the fact some webpages have the font size defined, so it doesn't always /seem/ to work...

And Opera. Wow. That's cool.

Firefox too, but not Mozilla 1.6.

[al-fruitbat.livejournal.com]

Er... web browser? In Mozilla it's >View>Text Zoom>100% which is also linked to CTRL plus & minus... But I've no idea what browser you guys use ;-)

[lathany.livejournal.com]

My hero! It works.

[onebyone.livejournal.com]

Firefox also has ctrl+0 to set it to the default, which is nice if you're curious to know what the default is.

the life of what exactly?

The life of a lathany, if it's your bag.

It's a conceptual bag, though - in order to maintain lifespan you have to take it to Tesco and exchange it (free of charge) for a new one. The bag is dead. Long live the bag!

a new one

Which might not be as good as the old one. secretrebel resurrected one recently, and it came back a less good shape (wider and not so tall), and I think slightly smaller. My theory is that they're going to rob everyone of their original 10p by gradually making the bags smaller and smaller until they disappear.

I keep missing the butterfly one. That design is worth it, even if I get a smaller bag in the first place.

[onebyone.livejournal.com]

I didn't realise anyone cared about the designs.

I predict a 5 quid iBag by Q2 2006. With a little pocket in it to slot your iPod into.

I despair, I truly do. (http://www.shop21.uk.com/index.html?target=p_483.html&lang=en-gb)

[lathany.livejournal.com]

There is nothing else to say to that.

[lathany.livejournal.com]

I sort of knew that. I just feel the name is innappropriate. It'd be better to call it the Reincarnation Bag or something.

[al-fruitbat.livejournal.com]

No, cos then you'd get characters wearing it on their heads during combat, or putting dead familiars in and hoping...

[lathany.livejournal.com]

And that's a bad thing?

[wimble.livejournal.com]

It's a bag thing, certainly.

It's clear the designer of the "bag for life" thought that their main customer base would be hamsters. With heart disease.
