Gore Gore Gore

And I’m not talking about the 2000 election. Yeah, I’m totally over it by now. This is my favorite picture of my poor ankle. That incision is impressive, isn’t it? It’s three times longer than my ACL scar. It’s longer than Jen’s caesarian scar (she said I should post that bit of info).\ I’m stuck […]

Movable Type Categories As Tag Cloud

Like yesterday’s post about del.icio.us tag clouds, this was an experiment because I was bored. I figured it was so easy to make the link tag cloud, it should be almost as easy to create one from my categories. The challenge is that I have almost 1600 entries (actually, this is #1600!): so many that […]

Late Night Markup Tip

Tired of writing markup? Make too many stupid mistakes, like unclosed tags, unescaped ampersands, unquoted attributes, etc? Stop writing markup in a plain old text editor and switch to an XML editor!\ I’ve been using OxygenXML to write markup for several months now and I find that I make far fewer mistakes there than I […]

Importing Your Del.icio.us Tag Cloud In Movable Type

Someone on the Movable Type ProNet list asked how to import their del.icio.us tag cloud into thier blog a couple days ago, and since I’m stuck here on the couch, I’d see if I could figure out an easy way to do it… and you know what, there is!\ All you need to install is […]

5 In The Morning and Can’t Sleep? Time To Mess Up Your Blog!

I got about two hours of sleep. It’s really hard to sleep with a foot that’s on fire.\ You may notice a couple different things if you read the main page of the site. I’ve added a couple links, and moved some stuff around. What’s cool, is it took very little markup changes to do […]

A Fun Javascript Puzzle: Shortcut Icons

Someone at work asked about this and I can’t find the answer. And, because my foot hurts and I can’t sleep, I figured I’d give it a shot.\ This is my attempt, and it doesn’t work in anything but Opera 8.5 (that I’ve tested so far), as you can see. Any ideas?\ Before you start, […]

I Guess It’s My Turn…

First Sheryl Swoopes, and now George Takai come out of the closet. It must be the week for it. Ok, my turn. I was in the closet this morning, and now I’m out. I was looking for a shirt, and with the crutches and the fact that my closet is upstairs? I don’t plan on […]

Home

We’re home, I have a big splint/bandage combination on my leg, and I’m high… high as a kite.\ Dr. Wilson says everything went well, but I forgot to ask him if I could keep the bone. Stupid oxycontin.\ I don’t expect to do much for the next couple weeks except watch movies, take a lot […]
