Test post - 11Nov2014

Just messing around. I'm typing this, using the enhanced writing area, which is a JavaScript-based feature, instead of the simple, HTML textarea box.

I used ctrl-j to shift to a mode that contains no buttons, no split screen, nothing. It's not full-screen mode, left and right. I still use margin space when using the ctrl-j mode. But it's full-screen vertically.

The only item visible is the cursor and the text. And when hitting F-11 within the browser, the browser's menus and bars disappear. Very simple screen display.

Then I used ctrl-d to switch from the default black text on the white background to light grey text on a black or nearly black background.

I'm typing this in our computer room, but I have the lights off. A nearby hallway light is on, so the room is not totally dark. Some light-glow exists.

This light grey text on a dark background works fine in this setting with very little electric light in the room.

Autosave should still work, but no message is displayed. I can, however, execute ctrl-p to preview my formatting. And I can hit ctrl-s to force a save.

I can also hit ctrl-h to reduce the number of lines displayed to only five. The five-line display is centered vertically and horizontally on the screen. Margin spacing still exists at the left and right sides. I can type 73 characters wide.

I'm listening to the UT at NIU football game, playing on AM 1370 WSPD. The Huskies lead the Rockets late in the 4th qtr by 3 points. NIU driving.

4th and 4 for NIU at the UT 27. Actually, 7:39 left in the game, so not that late. NIU leads 20-17. NIU calls timeout. It would be a 44-yard field goal attempt.

NIU went for it on 4th down and completed a pass for a six-yard gain. Running play, and now NIU is at the UT 10 or so. A two-score lead would be tough for UT to overcome this late in the game.

NIU run to the 2. NIU hurries to the line. Another run scores TD. NIU runs the QB read option.

27-17 with 6:39 left. But UT can score quick.
