Quotations

The lovely Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough, was reputed in some quarters to have actually said that the Duke did pleasure her "three times in his top-boots", which is even more rambunctious. My hat…

Putting your underwear on backwards

You\'re a weirdo, you know that?
I mean, quite an endearing weirdo, and it\'s fascinating to hear about these things, but you\'re still a weirdo. :-)
I await with bated breath the results of your…

Retro: Everyone likes Cox

Obviously I could use this as an excuse to come up with many, many poor-taste jokes. I am manfully resisting this urge, however, in order that I can tell a joke: apparently the Queen has pulled out…

Light Angels

Jeremy seems to be a perfectly normal bloke, until he smiles. And then small children run away. It's really menacing.
Good mandolin player, mind. :-)

Missing socks

Hello? HELLO? You're mental. :-)

Tell us everything! Well, not quite everything…

I must confess, I'd never have thought of googling for "where is osama bin laden". I wonder if the CIA did? Brave new world.

How I got involved in web development

Certainly was a RiscOS user. In fact, I now use the ROX desktop, which works like the RiscOS Filer. I loved it. Wimp_Poll and all that. Loved it.

Who, where, how?

I do see your point about the extensibility of your method; you can mark up anything you want. Like you say, this is essentially inventing your own XML vocabulary, but without going the full way to…

Oh, and fourthly, you could actually *put* something at /people/Who_Ever, and have your outgoing tag stripper rewrite the <cite href="foo"> tag to <a href="foo"><cite> or…

If it was me, instead of <dro:person> I'd have done <cite href="http://www.1976design.com… and used the URLs as your key. Firstly, this makes your keys nice and readable;…

Rudy Limeback

Jon,
My three-year-old thinks that I'm wasting my time trying to find a decent way to work with Subversion on Windows while still using Visual Interdev. I threatened to send her to bed without any…

Calendars

Nah, kill that puppy. The only one I ever use is mpt's, and that's because he doesn't have any other way of walking through posts. I hate 'em. :)

Be nice to sheep

Ninety images? NINETY? I had to find five images and a background when I redesigned, and it was the hardest part. And I'm still not happy with any of them. You're a nutter. :)

XML feed moving to new location

Oh, hang on, I get it. ~/blog/syndicate is where it is now? If I had half a brain I'd be dangerous. Sorry :-)
Bah. I have no good solution to this :)

Sorry, I'm obviously a thicky. What's wrong with chopping a bit off /blog/syndicate/rss to /blog/syndicate and getting to the explanation of syndication page? That's exactly what I'd expect from a…

Nice Titles revised

Do you know, if I had half a brain, I'd be dangerous. Naturally I was just about to think of styling the paragraphs *inside* the div, but, er, er, I was getting a cup of tea, yeah, that sounds…

I have been entirely lax in not thanking you chaps for hacking on nicetitles to make it better, I must admit. Sorry; tied up frantically at the moment, if you'll excuse the phrasing. Excellent…
