Apparently, I can use TextMate for blogging. It works out pretty good, although for you weaklings who need WYSIWYG, not so good. But since I have a good enough understanding of HTML, I can use it. in fact, TextMate is what I’m using to write this very blog post. and possibly others.
In other news, OKSW is now closed up so you don’t see the horrendous PHP error that was there. So, read my page explaining the problem.
This about wraps up this post.
There are some NEW features at OKS Blog, like custom fields. Pinging Ping-o-matic seems broken, but that’ll be fixed.
Wicketpixie’s reign on my blog is over. It has been a pain to adjust, so I gave it up. As you can see, K2 is back. But I changed one thing. Yes, I included the status box into K2. So easy, you wish it was harder. So now I can hack on K2 to make it variable width because fixed width is bad when you have a massive widescreen monitor. You don’t get to USE all that space. Well when I’m done, you WILL be able to USE that space!
This is one of the funniest videos ever. Most of the other videos from collegehumor are funny too.
Now, on to the Chrome part.
Google Chrome, Google’s new open source browser, only for Windows (as of this writing) looks cool.
I’m just writing about Chrome right now because I’m now actually on a Windows machine. You most likely know that I stick with OS X Leopard or Linux. But, Google hasn’t gotten those done yet. So I have to deal with *shudder* Windows to use Chrome.
Chrome is fairly fast, and has a fair amount of animation (like closing, opening and switching tabs). Also, it was fast to setup.
I plan to use Chrome on Mac anad Linux as soon as they come out.
One annoying thing is that there’s no adblocking. Google, I know you make money off those ads, but please incorporate adblocking into Chrome for the next release.
So, that’s it for this post. You have fun browsing the Internet (or crawling for those bots) but stay safe. (Use a REAL browser to look at that pr0n)
I was watching a video introduction to NeXTSTEP 3 by Steve Jobs and Steve Jobs said that NeXTSTEP had Renderman included in it, and an “interactive” Renderman.
So what do you think? Is Quartz Renderman’s lost cousin? Seeing as that Pixar has always used Steve’s platform, it very well may be.
I fixed my .htaccess problem (the included apache has some promblems) so now I can use the VERY pretty URLs with WordPress! and I’m working on getting my wiki to work through rewrite the same way wikipedia works.
My friend JonathanS pointed this out to me.
Photosynth, Microsoft’s new project which allows you to map out 3D space simply by putting together pictures.
When I went to the website (www.photosynth.net), I clicked one of the “synths”. I got this message:
Unfortunately, we’re not cool enough to run on your OS yet. We really wish we had a version of Photosynth that worked cross platform, but for now it only runs on Windows.
I was running Firefox 3.1a2pre (i built it from hg!) on Mac OS X Leopard.
I also spoofed as Firefox 3.0 on Linux and it says the exact same thing.
As you very well may know, I have put the WicketPixie WordPress theme into Assembla (with Chris’ approval). That’s why OKS Blog has had problems. But i have restored to a working version and I put it in the Assembla SVN. I am planning on making a “test bed” that runs the latest version of WicketPixie, which should be easy to maintain because Assembla has a feature where it will do a GET request of any URL when a commit to the Subversion repository is performed. But I will have to secure the page to prevent other people from updating it unnecessarily.
I made this up. It goes like this;
Freddie is an expert bike rider, and can do all sorts of tricks and stunts, like ride his bicycle with no hands. But the one thing he can’t do is comb his hair while riding his bicycle, as he tried to do one day. Why can’t Freddie do this?
I have discovered two possible answers. You can try this brain teaser yourself!
I have been looking in my logs for my web server and I was doing a WHOIS on some of the IPs. A particular block of IPs, that belong to m$ load my website. Turns out Winblows Live indexes my website. Google does not though.
Proof: I searched for ‘site:oks.verymad.net onekopakaspace’ on Live Search and Google. Here are the results pages:
UPDATE: The reason Google doesn’t crawl my site is because they don’t have FreeDNS DNS entries. Unfortunately, I only have FreeDNS subdomains.
So, add a comment if you want Google to retrieve FreeDNS DNS entries! (If you don’t, explain in a lengthy 2 paragraph comment that has no grammar or spelling errors)
