Dreaming of Dawn:: how jedi are you? ::
Well, the design SHOULD be done now, yell if you have any problems. I've created an "IE is stupid" stylesheet (appropriately called stupid.css) so the blog, although VERY plain and VAGUELY ugly, is perfectly usable and readable - if you just hide all the pngs and undo the fancy positioning it works just jim dandy.
So... everybody talks about how they want "clean" urls - in other words use pathinfo instead of query strings and leave off the extensions (.gif|.png|.php|.html et al) These are all methods that assume you're aware of how to mangle pathinfo to get the information you want, they don't rewrite urls into query strings (although that's the …
So, a new layout for the blog - I was playing. It does not work in Internet Explorer and I'm too damn lazy to take the time to fix it. The new IE7 (javascript solution) will be out next week, I'll tack it onto my header template so IE people can read the site in a …
He got a standing ovation at Cannes, the movie reviews are positive, and it's said Steven Spielberg helped out so the film won't suck... do we finally have a GOOD prequel star wars movie? I'll hold my breath, but I won't get to see it until Saturday, since it's the last few weeks of school I …
If you look at the bottom of slashdot you'll notice you get a rather random quote from their database when you visit. Some are very good, some of very bad, but today's had me thinking of the past.

I get these little "binges" where I go out and run around the net looking for fanfiction and webcomics when I get bored - so for today, some really good webcomics.
Why do I like firefox, and open source in general so much? A security flaw is found in firefox (yeah, they happen, they're actually rather expected) Secunia says - this is a very bad thing
Ajaxian is probably the stupidest name ever - course I think ajax is a stupid name soo... these geeks and their obsession with cleanliness...ajax, soap...
Take a look at my nifty spifty creation - a huge old map of Innes, the mythical place where rebellion takes place, did this in photoshop and learned some neat tricks.
rebellion is starting to take shape now, and I've decided it will only be "released" here until I've finished it in it's entirety, too many annoying fans get pissed at my slowness - see if you can figure out who's who, i give physical clues in each "scene"
Googlefight is my new late night fun - type in a couple of words and see which gets more google hits is the basic idea, but it's damn funny all the same.
Although the performance isn't perfect yet phar is alive - personally I'd like to see this implemented right in php instead of as a pear class...but that's just me.
Documentation for xhtml 1.1 has often eluded me, but this is a nice way to see what is where and what's deprecated without losing my mind
