Like Milk
“I’m gonna treat you like milk and spoil you.”
My Templates
My site page on the new wiki has near live versions of a few of my templates. I can add more if anyone is interested. They aren’t the best or cleanest, but they work and it’s what powers what you’re reading now.
Matrix Reloaded Cup
On Milk
I didn’t realize how fast time passes until I started buying milk.
Wired Markup
Campaign Game Mimics Real Life was a decent article and the game looks fun but what most impressed was that they used the <cite> element to mark up the game name.
Adsense Idea
Wouldn’t it be neat if instead of requiring a crawler bot to visit the page the adsense javascript could actually scrape the page text that the user sees (like a screen reader like JAWS) and use that to formulate the ad in real-time? That would prevent people from cloaking pages for the adsense bot an would allow it to be used on pages that you must be logged in to view the content. I know it’s probably impossible, but it’d still be neat.
Platform Buzz
Breakdown of publishing platform buzz, shiny graphs! Forgot “word press”.
Ping-o-Matic!
Pushing a cool ten million. The new database system is working out great.
Link Thanks
I just wanted to take a moment to thank those people who give proper attribution (aka a hat tip) when they post about something they found here. More and more lately I’m seeing things that I know started here show up from blogs of people I know and respect with nary a note or link back. Taking the time to properly attribute things can be a drag sometimes, but I think it’s important to maintain the credibility of weblogging as a medium and to reward those who bring new things to light. If you are someone who does properly credit things please know that I appreciate it quite a bit, and I hold you in a higher esteem than more “professional” blogs who are sloppy at best with their attribution.
Keyword Idea
Idea of the day: create ad-hoc keyword caches using referrers from search engines for use with internal searches.
Leap seconds
Dealing with leap seconds, I remember the days when 60 * 60 * 24 was good enough for anyone.
New User Pages
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.
Good About Page
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.
Loud Thinking
I came across Loud Thinking because I mistyped the domain I was trying to get to. What a lucky mistake.
Email Bounces
Had a few emails bounce this morning. If one was you just resend it and I should get it okay.
Tie a Tie
How to Tie a Tie, no reason.
Divide
Okay, I’m on Multiply. Stop with the invites. :-p
XFN Poster
Tantek and Eric presented a XFN poster at Hypertext and that’s really cool. 🙂 I had a look at the poster and it’s very sharp. It looks like it hints at something new on the way…
