I'm in the process of re-setting up my server now, but if you are currently a Metaphorical Web Yahoo Group member, I have temporarily set it up so that you can...
Hi Kurt, Glad you opened up the list so there's a chance to say : thanks for Metaphorical, keep it coming! Of course the tech stuff is interesting, but I very...
Danny, I appreciate it, and I will definitely keep it up. I'm going to try to keep it fairly closely moderated, however -- if it look like its becoming ...
Cool. I sure hope your forties go better than mine went, but you have a couple of things going for you, like a family and a somewhat normal "life" if there is...

I want to echo that. Seems to me that we spend altoghether too much time thinking about technical solutions without ever stopping to think about what we are...
One idiot has set their vacation e-mail system to replay about once every five minutes or so -- something I found much to my chagrin when I opened up my email...

Rex, Congrats to Len. As to the z-axis for SVG, I've got some really grave misgivings about that. Don't get me wrong -- I'd love to be able to extend SVG into...
Len would know more about who is interested in this here animal. I know exactly zilch about it. I think X3D is fine, and just needs better browsers--and more ...

I bought the svg book by kurt and have a question about on-click events. I went to use an html anchor like: <html><body> <a href="mypgm.cfm?param=this"><embed...
Embedded objects typically maintain their own event structures, and these usually override the external event structures of their container, which is ...
In the book it details the calculation of a portion of the circle. It says that if I wanted a 45 degree of extent, then I would use the formula like: ...
So ... I am still at a loss. How do I change from radians to degrees? For example in my excel spreadsheet I am using the calculation like: cos(45). How do I...
There's a misprint. The sin() and cos() functions should be expressed in radians. 2*PI Radians = 360 degrees or 1 degree = 3.14159/180 So, rather than saying...
So ... I've have cos(45 * 3.14159/180)*100 = 70.71 sin(45 * 3.14159/180)*100 = 94.39 correct? Mike ... expressed in ... degrees? ... the ... using ... ...
One more question about this using 270 degrees would be calculated as: cos(270 * 3.14159/180)*100 = 0 sin(270 * 3.14159/180)*100 = -100 and then the circle...
