Stick up for the little guy – iPod mini

Personally I think it is great! To put my take on it in perspective I need to point out I still use and love my first generation, 5 gig, iPod.

A custom stylesheet improves the general readability of the RSS posts in my copy of NetNewsWire. Every once in a while an entry appears amoungst the RSS feeds I regularly read that doesn't include a link on the title.

It seems the Bush administration would prefer American's had their eyes on the stars.

Nicolas of lightfocus.org honoured me with an invitation this weekend to contribute some pixels to noized. It's been far too long since I last set out to have some shameless fun with photoshop. The excersie has impressed on me once...

I have been considering getting myself a PC at home for web testing and a bit of desktop gaming. A tricky decision as my Mac has a growing need to be upgraded.

This evening Blake Kimber-Mair came into the world. All 9 pounds – 50cm of him. Congratulations Robyn and Damien! I can't imagine what he will make of Blake's Seven – perhaps by the time he sees it he'll have is...

It's not a new expression but it goes a long way to describe the lack of design attention apparent on this site. Tonight I am making some superficial changes (i.e. CSS only) to ollicle.com. The usual excuses have held me...

Yesterday I attempted to give the *new* Textile 2.0 a _spin_. I had some problems so here goes Textile 2.0.1.

I mentioned the possible use of a Flash UI for AppleScript a while ago. Peter Bunn – developer of Missing Link requested a demo.

I don't have PHP set-up but being partial to a low tech solution I figure I can hide the admin links with CSS.

Tonight I shifted my entry titles into their rightful `H2` position. Until now this esteemed slot was occupied by the entry date, as it does in the default templates from MovableType. I understand why the MT templates were built this...

Why didn't anyone tell me you could apply more than one class to a HTML element? I guess I didn't think to ask.

Sixapart are warming us up for the imminent release of MovableType 3 and the centralised comment registration service it and TypePad will use. I got excited for a moment, reading the description of TypeKey, by the potential of centralised commenting. Of course this is not the function that inspired the creation of TypeKey, but fun to consider anyway.

Jay Allen points, in his post The CMS and inline HTML, to an issue which I have been recently giving some thought as I consider switching between Textile to Markdown.

The other day my cheap hand me down washing machine died. Of course the first place I look to for a replacement is the internet.

I accepted a challenge tonight. Needless to say I'm not doing it for the money.

Photoshop's lack of scripting support for selections in it's text object has brought my latest Applescript efforts to a sad dead end.

I was very interested to see how the problem of flickering CSS background images in IE6 was resolved in the construction of the new Blogger.

My month expired long ago. After some research I decided any digital camera within my experimental budget effectively technically was a pinhole camera. The ideal kind of digital camera to adapt for pinhole use would be the SLR type with detachable lenses and full manual control over exposure times. My scanner still has plenty of work to do before I can justify that kind of luxury.

Improving technology continues to make many professions redundant. But another piece of desktop publishing software on the market should not worry graphic designers.

Lately I have been getting myself tangled up in JavaScript while attempting to pass variables to Flash. ActionScript Hero pointed me to a tutorial from Neil Webb which got me thinking PHP might make this a whole lot cleaner.

Now that Movable Type 3.1 has launched, this site can hope to catch up (tortoise style) with the great stuff the new version to offer. And, can a tree be just a different way of looking at a cloud?

While listening to clever people discuss our collective future on the Science Show (ABC Radio National), I’m messing with the future of this site. Posted with Ecto 2.0 beta.

Google is great for finding answers to many of life's puzzles; Although, for some healthy problem solving satisfaction I recommend trying to work some things out for yourself. The answer to the rose petals puzzle will be on the net, but why look out there when the answer is right in front of you!

I blame my Mum and Dad. If I was brought up as a narrow minded, self centered, shallow thinking bigot – I'd probably be feeling contentment instead of frustration, anger and dismay.

A little over a month ago I mentioned my contemplation of tag based bookmark management. Since then I have made a commitment of sorts to move my links to del.icio.us. Lately, instead of working though my bookmarks and uploading the links I want to keep, I have been thinking about how I would like to explore and navigate these links later.

Version 2 of NetNewsWire (currently in beta) provides a bunch of new elements for a custom stylesheet to get a handle on. The possibilities provided by these new elements, and the fact that my old CSS is broken in this new version, motivated me to create a fresh style for NetNewsWire 2.

Unlike my previous style for NetNewsWire, this style is not designed for reading. X-ray instead exposes the underlying HTML structure of the displayed post, highlighting common tags and their classes.
