A simple table I hashed out before bedtime.

This table contains dense code, but JotterPad reduces the complexity
Using JotterPad is similar to what PhotoShop was like back when I had the software running locally on a PowerBook G3. I still have that laptop too. Unfortunately, my aspirations to create my VuePress on that old clunker machine is not compatible (Node.js v.20.9.0 required), but if I ever manage to learn to use Vue.js, I'm sure I'll be able to understand PHP and MySQL a little more. Then, perhaps, I could utilize those languages to build something on it. If I could even build something with Rebol, it would be a huge accomplishment.

Lying in bed, I don't get drowsy until my eyes start to burn from watching TikTok bloggers acting stupid. The funny ones tend to get old and repetitive. When I reach a point when I'm all caught up on my social media fix, this table of miscellaneous pix I ganked from Unsplash gets me drowsy. After spending the whole day discovering new stuff I can do in Terminal and stuff I just comprehend with OpenID (PGP), brainstorming future posts relaxes me. I really like the way livjournal organizes my photos in a blog entry when I email it. It's not complicated, the way lj-cuts are mixes in with the table code. Thinks began to go bonkers when I tried experimenting with image hosting defaults. I wanted to see how attachment photos were displayed, with the lj-cuts, if the image layout was vertical. Then the multiple posts began to happen (and multiple photos too.)
I guess the multiple entries glitch is resolved because I don't see that occurring with my test posts from yesterday. It's going to be awhile until I finish the roll of film in the pinhole camera to post more pix, so last night I brainstormed how I might go about creating a table with images.
I never bothered to format images intended for the web before. The book on Vue.js has prompted me to scrutinize my images more carefully. Downsizing them for size and proportion is a task in itself. JotterPad can be tricky as I struggled to follow tutorials on making tables with markdown code using pipe symbols (|) and underscores (_), etc. When exporting my tables afterward, they just wouldn't formate into html properly. Then I discovered JotterPad has a tool button (+) that drops down a menu where I can select tables, the amount of rows and columns, etc. When I use that technique, the output to html is perfect.
So the plan is to use that when I have a roll of film scanned into my computer. I think uploading the photos into lj's photo album cloud might be the route I take, only because I won't be uploading photos in the same size that I scan them anymore. It will take longer, of course. A task I wouldn't mind adding as a skill to my resume. And that's what the gears in my head are thinking when I came up with this table in bed last night. Unsplash makes it so easy to grab a photo and post it, and if I like the way they look in this entry, my goal will be to duplicate that myself. Manually.
