WordPress Easter Egg
Carthik breaks one of the WordPress easter eggs, which is really more of a developer’s shortcut tool.

Super-Efficient Image Rollovers
Super-Efficient Image Rollovers using javascript. This seems to be the JS predecessor to Pixy’s CSS-only fast rollovers.
Branded for life
Arabic
An Arabic WordPress blog. I have no idea on earth what it says though.
Contact Information
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.
Ordered List
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.

Typepad Error
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.)
A Bit Better
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
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 SVG
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.
Download?
Someone just reported when they visit WordPress.org it tries to download a file instead of showing the web page. Can anyone recreate this?
