Ok, its a pointless one this, but its something that’s been bugging me for a bit.

As some of the images I use in the blog posts can be a bit wide, I tend to switch of text wrapping around them (an option in the Mandiva theme), as it can cause layout problems. Instead I usually just stack images and text ontop of one-another.

However, this doesn’t look as good when its a small image in the post. I’ve always wanted to be able to selectively use the text-wrapping based on the individual post.

Well, I actually got off my backside and figured it out today. So in the previous post, I altered the img tag to include style=”float:left” and that got it the way I wanted it.

So, it turned out to be nice and easy afterall. That’s what I was hoping for

I’ve gone back to playing Battlefield 2142 over the weekend after several months out. I’d forgotten how much fun it was

One striking thing was the lack of UK servers however. Granted, the 1.40 Beta patch may be partly the cause (I’ve stuck with the stable patch). However, I think it may also be a sign that the playerbase has stuck by Battlefield 2, something I’d noticed previously. Its a shame though, as I tried playing Battlefield 2, and found it a nightmare to get into. I prefer 2142’s condensed classes, and everyone playing BF2 seemed to have been playing it for years, so as a newbie trying to find my way around, I tended to just get slaughtered an awful lot without accomplishing anything.

Despite not playing for months, I still found myself in the role of Squad Leader quite a bit. Although I’m not really too fussed about being in charge, I tended to end up in the position when the existing leader quit out of the squad. To be honest, in some ways it suits me better, as most squad leaders don’t seem to bother issuing orders. Since orders tend to be the key to teamwork, and the bonus squad points, it makes me wonder why they bothered creating a squad in the first place.

So while it may not be my ideal to be in charge, at least I always issue squad orders, and get my team the bonus points which not only mean we hit the next rank quicker, but also get those handy field upgrades.
