Blog redesign, episode 7

Yet another use­ful plu­gin: Com­pare. It allows you to do those sim­ple lit­tle com­par­isons; did you make the com­ment, is the cat­e­gory ‘Tech’ etc. So I’ve pre­pared my Stuff cat­e­gory for some addi­tional styling and the com­ments for dis­play­ing whether I par­tic­i­pated or not.

Blog redesign, episode 6

I’ve installed the Acronym plu­gin which takes care of under­lin­ing and explain­ing and started list­ing the plu­g­ins I use at the bot­tom of the Colophon page. And I’ve merged my side­blog into the main index so the lit­tle link blurps just show up in their own slightly dif­fer­ent design (to be opti­mized shortly) in between the reg­u­lar posts.

How to get chicks

Cre­ativeBits has an inter­est­ing lit­tle piece on image manip­u­la­tion from the ter­mi­nal using sips. Pretty cool stuff (at least for lighter-than-light hack­ers like myself), but what really hit the spot was the claim that you could use this exact tech­nique to pull: Now, that I told you about this com­mand, you tell me what can you use it for, besides get­ting chicks of course?

Making money on content

What­ever the rev­enue model, I’m glad that peo­ple are start­ing to real­ize that with weblogs and other forms of web based writ­ing, even though much have changed, the good writ­ers offer­ing rel­e­vant and inter­est­ing mate­r­ial will always come out on top.… Peo­ple with love to the medium and a non-profit approach will always exist and as long as they feel they learn some­thing, can get their fund­ing from some­where else or just feel like mak­ing a dif­fer­ence, good, free stuff will be out there.

WiFi and holes

I like the fact that even on days with shit­loads of work, I’m still able to go out, fak­ing hav­ing a life.… But that also means that I carry around basi­cally all my work with me — and I don’t really like the idea of hav­ing it stolen while I’m at the lit­tle boys room or order­ing more espres­sos.

Why text-only is bad for you — and everyone else

There are mil­lions of Web users who don’t even con­sider them­selves dis­abled: you might know one as “Dad” or “Grandpa,” who can’t quite see as well as they used to, or never quite got the hang of mou­s­ing around.… And they’re going to get angry, espe­cially if you hard-coded the font size below their abil­ity to read it.
