Google doesn’t index application/xhtml+xml pages, geez what a mess. I prefer the rigidity of XHTML syntax but I don’t want the mess that comes along with it. Hat tip: Petroglyphs. Update: See comments.

Dealing with leap seconds, I remember the days when 60 * 60 * 24 was good enough for anyone.

Donncha looks at Smarty and WP, again. It’s been done before, it’d be interesting to have a method that could automatically stay current with the native PHP methods.

New user pages on the WP forums, shorter but with more useful information. (And better code to boot.) Not sure if recent topics and posts by the person is the best way to provide a personal forum aggregator, but I’m open to suggestions.

Keith on A Good About Page. I’ve been giving some thought to this recently, Keith vocalizes a lot of what I’ve been thinking.

I came across Loud Thinking because I mistyped the domain I was trying to get to. What a lucky mistake.

Had a few emails bounce this morning. If one was you just resend it and I should get it okay.

Dave redesigned Mezzoblue again, I dig.

What if a forum had a URI structure like a blog instead of a forum?

Voting machine glitch during demo, Murphy’s law applies to elections as well. It sounds like Sequoia is trying to do the right thing. I can’t think of a single good reason not to have a hard paper copy of every vote. “Election officials say that putting printers on voting machines would create problems for poll workers if the printers break down or run out of paper, and the paper records will cause long poll lines with voters taking more time to check the record.” Oh no! People would be checking their votes! We don’t want that. I will personally donate to the paper fund if they’re really that worried they’re going to run out.

How to Tie a Tie, no reason.

Kevin switched back to WordPress after flirting with Textpattern.

Without discussing the actual politics of the site (please) Bushlies.com is the first use of WordPress to promote a bestselling book I’ve seen. Judging by the comment counts it gets some good traffic.

Building Your Home with WordPress, excellent read. Craig is looking for feedback.

Christopher Schmitt, CSS guru, has begun blogging and a live redesign of his site. (I love those!) He’s rolling with WordPress.

To remove trailing slashes from URIs: UPDATE `blogs` SET blog_uri = LEFT(blog_uri, (LENGTH(blog_uri) - 1) ) WHERE RIGHT( blog_uri, 1 ) = '/'; Rows affected: 328,561 in 92 seconds.

Version Control with Subversion, a free online book.

I’m not sure why, but my Technorati cosmos for photomatt.net has been blazing fast lately. It’s just the wordpress.org one that has been MIA for a while.
