Good example of bad alt text.

Super-Efficient Image Rollovers using javascript. This seems to be the JS predecessor to Pixy’s CSS-only fast rollovers.

“The question remains: if we dismantle the job system, then what do we replace it with?”

An Arabic WordPress blog. I have no idea on earth what it says though.

Tantek muses on contact information. One of my coding dreams has always been to sit down for a few months and write the perfect contact manager. I daydream about it sometimes and have a lot of the implementation worked out in my head. Imagine something like Plaxo, but distributed, not annoying, completely automatic, and with an infinitely flexible versioned backend. In fact, not like Plaxo at all.

OrderedList.com v2.0, a very attractive site redesigns. I dig the curved navigation at the top. Good IA, good writing. Groovy motif. Reverse breadcrumbs. RSS and such a little funky though. Why isn’t this guy using WordPress? A blog to watch.

“When I grow up, I’d like to be a director of leprechaun equity!” Don’t we all.

“Are there two ‘homes’? A Web page duplex?”

Funky Typepad DNS error I ran into today. And what is up with every Typepad site having the same favicon? Ruins my tabs. ( I was trying to get to http://ditto.typepad.com/ the blog by the creator of RubHub.)

Feeling a bit better than yesterday, thanks for all the well-wishes. Geof said I probably needed sleep and my body would make me have it one way or another. He’s right, I think I’m about to crash again. Had a meeting today I had to go to, and it went well. Generally trying to stay away from the computer though, however today has been an interesting day. Today has been a domain-registering day, which is always a sign of exciting things to come. 🙂

Between the Lines is the ZDNet blog. Looks like WordPress to me. 🙂 (By the way, that page isn’t far from validation. It’s mostly pretty nice markup. Must be a staging area, because the main site has markup straight out of the 90s.)

Matt May on Implementing SVG: “Hyatt is, of course, neglecting to mention that, alongside the KHTML engine Safari is based on, there is a KSVG engine. They wouldn’t have to reinvent the wheel to use that any more than they did to integrate KHTML.” My impression is they’ve put a lot of work into KHTML, but the point stands. Even a subset of SVG would be immmediately useful.

Someone just reported when they visit WordPress.org it tries to download a file instead of showing the web page. Can anyone recreate this?

It’s official, I’m sick. Since Monday I kept telling myself this was just allergies but now my throat hurts and my voice is going and I need to accept the fact and start eating/sleeping/drinking in a manner consistent with getting better. Bad timing, but it always is. Posting will either be light or heavier than ever.

Eric is looking for someone good to write a CSS book

Speaking of lists, I have a small list of well-designed WordPress blogs I’ve come across. I’m open to suggestions, so if you have a favorite that isn’t on the list let me know.

I noticed today that about a third of my updated blogroll is now powered by WordPress. This is a skewed sample, surely, but at least half of those I never would have imagined converting. I was remembering today when WordPress first got started and out of all the developers I was the only one running it. Mike and Alex were still on b2 because they had a lot of hacks that would be hard to transition, and Dougal was on some funky system he had previously contributed to. (MyPHPBlog?) You could count the number of WP blogs on one hand. That was about a year ago.

ZIMoBLOG now uses Ping-O-Matic. Leave the hard stuff to someone else.

Novell is giving away copies of SuSE Pro. Step 3: Profit!!! Hat tip: dented21 in #wordpress.

Molly explains her move, an interesting read.
