Adventures with Computers

Yesterday we had a beautiful partial lunar eclipse here in Denmark. For several hours the Moon went red, as Earth’s shadow swept across it. My dad took some photos of it, but we’ll have to wait until they are developed, to see whether or not they’re any good.
The Moon was red, because the Earth’s atmosphere bend that color more that the rest of the spectrum. I believe, that it’s the same effect that makes the sky blue.
Now that Christmas is over, I’ve reverted the colors here at gimpster.com to the normal light-blue.
By the way, I’ve made a page with a complete list of all entities defined in HTML 4.01. If your browser doesn’t display all the characters, it simply means that it is somewhat broken. My Netscape 6 shows all the entities, including all the Greek letters, the mathematical symbols and even some of the more weird ones. I must say, that it surprises me a little, since I had no idea, that I had fonts with all these letters and symbols.
