I’ve just finished watching the final episode of Ashes to Ashes season 3. The ending didn’t come as a complete surprise, since two years ago I wrote up my thoughts on possible explanations for what was happening. Granted, I was wrong about what if Gene Hunt is an “angel”, but I was right about a [...]

UPDATE Okay, so perhaps I was a little bit harsh on Trident- the CSS 2.1 portions of the new design for sw.slr work flawlessly in IE8, so with Dean Edwards’ Javascript libraries, the CSS3 portions should work sufficiently as well. So I’ve decided to rephrase my position as “reducing” support for IE- it is still [...]

If the client is a user agent, it SHOULD NOT change its document view from that which caused the request to be sent. This response is primarily intended to allow input for actions to take place without causing a change to the user agent’s active document view, although any new or updated metainformation SHOULD be [...]

Here’s a little something I put together earlier- tree/branch style navigation, powered entirely by CSS3 selectors, using valid XHTML 1.1 Strict code. It seems to work in every browser, though IE7 doesn’t seem to support the coolest feature- the ability to have the page keep branches open while you navigate through branches higher up the [...]

I’m discovering that I liked the works of Neil Gaiman when I was younger, and didn’t know it. Here’s a quote from a comic I took out from the library once: John Constantine, issue 2 of “The Books of Magic” You know, when I was a kid, I thought America was a magic land. It’s [...]

Torley’s entire collection of published music (with Ogg Vorbis instead of MP3 where avaiable for moar fidelity) totals 3.75 gb:Burn the collection to DVD once you’re done downloading to avoid having to re-download it all over again.
While conversing with Gwyn regarding the code dream I had minutes prior to logging on today (I was dreaming potential tweaks to Laconica), Gwyn commented on the possible ability to use neural interfaces to “record” such dreams- for some reason I then came up with an imaginary device, the “iSheep”: Signpost it was like full-screen [...]
Okay, so what is up with all these social networking sites that don’t actually do anything ? micro-blogging We have stuff like twitter (and now Plurk as Gwyn has pointed me to). These are just blogging tools with fancy interfaces. You only get the short-term convenience of having built-in aggregation, friends list management and access [...]
I recently watched the final episode of the first series of Ashes to Ashes, and a rather odd thought struck me… For those of you not familiar with either series, Life On Mars follows the story of Sam Tyler who had an accident in 2006 and “woke up” in 1973. Similarly, Ashes to Ashes follows [...]

Recently, Monster had a security issue resulting in the theft of their users’ data. Considering in all the time I’ve had an account on Monster I’ve yet to receive any useful search results, and taking into account that hResume hypothetically allows for decentralised job searches (blowing up current job seeker website business models :-P ), [...]
