Fun toy of the day: Blogamp is a Winamp plugin that ftps your playlist to your server as a javascript file, which is then read and displayed by a second .js file. It’s really pretty simple to install, unless you run into troubles with your paths and what’s in which directory, but not so simple […]
Now that Steve’s RSS feed is usable (I’m still not clear on whether putting the posts in a CDATA section is legal-but-unworkable or illegal), it’s time to chew on the details. He’s using the anchor in the main page (e.g. http://saladwithsteve.com/#75295585) rather than the permalink in the archives for the <link> element. At first, that […]
I added a Bloglet subscription form over in the sidebar, not because I think there are people yearning to get my posts by email every night (okay, every night after I happen to post), but because I wanted to have it there as an ad for Monsur’s cool tool. I already really liked the Bloglet […]
What better reason than stealth posting at work?
Having failed to catch Shannon‘s allusion to Le Petit Prince this weekend, I’m now haunted by the vertically challenged atheling: first one of the best “comment” links I’ve seen in quite some time, in a blog that was on Daypop, though I didn’t quite grasp why at the time, and then while checking a referrer, […]
Why are you wasting time here? Remind yourself that the highest purpose of a blog is to say “This is what I think,” not “This is what you should think,” and go read Mike Golby. That’s the reason I’ve spent much of the last year helping people use Blogger.
I know I’m supposed to like elegant code, but I really prefer a quick, brutal hack: Ruzz added Blogger API support to Big Blog Tool, but since the Blogger API still doesn’t support titles, he just added in his own title support by treating anything that comes before “:H:” as the headline. Ugly. Quick. Done. […]
Rats. More Like This hit the Daypop Top 40 just a post or two after his kind link to poor, neglected bloggertech fell off his main page. Still, I’m not begrudging any traffic to someone who links to the Digital Consumer Bill of Rights with a Clash lyric.
A sandwich, a beer, this mail rule reading “if the From line contains __@__.net delete it”, and this thermos, and that’s all I need.
