Skim-surfer on Stinson Beach

I fractured my wrist trying it. One thing you got to remember is to run, throw then jump on. Not throw, run and then jump.

A quick note to the man standing beside me in the queue for the toilets last Saturday

It was because of you, Dustin. You and your gaynip :)

Busy having fun

Yes but we're not talking about just any computer here, it's a fully loaded 17" Powerbook. Come on, man!

Trackback on business sites

Wow, I just went and it's at 244 trackbacks! Someone should tally them and see how many are negative, positive, and neutral.

It has certainly been interesting to watch the reactions roll in. Movabletype.org and sixapart.com have been unreachable for quite a bit today, I guess from the blogosphere traffic, which is saying…

Senses

How do you know that you don't feel more than everyone else... I mean, you've never felt what everyone else has, have you? You've been like this for your whole life, right? So you COULD have…

Cheep cheep, baaaa

Ah yes. Perhaps 2 competing shepherds have run of the field at the same time, and the dog that rounds up the highest score in 5 minutes wins? One Man and His Dog with added oomph.

And regarding…

Web of the Day

You sure can have a brain hemorrhage doing weights. It's mildly terrifying. I'd have that one in at 21 in my list.

Quote from Blackadder:

Re-designing comment forms

Why give people the option to except a cookie or not? Should the increase/decrease widget be below the texterea, being moved every time you change it and preventing multiple clicks? I think it…

Cutting your own hair

I wish for you the pleasure of doing this to your own kids someday.
The satisfaction of a self-administered haircut is fine indeed, but nothing beats grabbing the clippers and turning your…

An ASP version of time_since

True, I didn't think of that. I was really refering to reading someone's actual blog rather than getting updates from a blogroll.

Still, I think the point holds. When you read the blogroll, it…

Also, as well as the things mentioned previously, it can also be insightful to see what time, for them, a person posted. "Why on earth was person X posting about the relative density of egg yolks…

Be nice to sheep

For what you're doing JPEG is probably best, but the new version of Photoshop (CS) now consistently gives me smaller sizes for PNGs then it does for GIFs, so just as a matter of practicality I'm…

King Blog

The only thing I care about when designing my personal blog is if I like it. At times in the past it has been something few people like, right now it seems to be something more people agree with…

Nice Titles revised

Oh, another reason why this is useful is Moz seems to trunucate long titles and end them with a "..." where IE will just display everything in the title. This is espescially annoying…

[view in situ]

I love the new "screw IE" mentality amoung web developers on independent sites. It's a natural backlash to the way we must bow down to it in professional work.

Neutralising spam

I've been looking at http://xhtml.net/php/PHPNaiveBayesi… for PHP bayesian filter code. Haven't had time to really dive into it yet though.

[view in situ]

I don't think moderation is so bad. Just have a system that lets innocent looking comments through and holds others for approval. It could be bayesian, blacklist-based, keyword-based, or a…

Site updates

More niggling: when it's a source link could the em dash not be part of the link?

This question seems so basic: how can I get the automatically generated attribution to align to the right?

It is clever, and by this comment Simon should get a notification.

Your blockquote code looks really nice and I'm going to try it out on my site later tonight. Of course I'm going to have to…

A visual guide to navigating blog comments

Well I do agree that it is an unique and novel idea. Perhaps as it develops it could present a viable and richer alternative to traditional threading.

[view in situ]

Yes, but it seems to me that you wouldn't need to have multiple direct parents if the system wasn't flat. With a hierarchical system you could easily follow a post back to its parent and…

I'm currently trying to think where threaded comments fit in the roadmap right now, but it is something that is definitely planned. We're not going to say people *have* to use threaded comments,…

Why not just have a threaded comment hierarchy?
