January 2007 Archives

Still playing clean up on all of the bookmarks I've saved over the last few weeks. :)

How Well Do You Know the Words of Jesus?

Web 2.0 company or Star Wars character?

Nod to Matt

I won't tell you my score. :)

Gotta love this title:

What is a database?

I'm catching up on all of the pages I save when I'm surfing.

An interesting read about one person's experiences with Sun Microsystems.

Read through the comments. Someone does point out that while Dell sells direct, Sun doesn't and their attempt to push the client off to resellers is correct, there's no followup and the client gets nothing but air.

I started this thread over on one of the forums that I visit but I wanted to post about it here as well. It got a fair amount of feedback over there.

Would you wear this to school? Wouldn't you be sent home and/ or told to cover up?

Just wondering.

And yes, that's a skirt.

Just a quick mention that WP-ShortStat got an upgrade a few days ago. I just noticed it.

New features copied from the site:

new database format, about half the size of the old format
added blogger.com to detected search engines
fix for broken referer
added debug version which shows all errors
some internal fixes (uninitialized variables, ...)
disabled old country detection code

There's also a MySQL script for reducing the size of the tables for it. That will be a big help for me over at daria.be. The script doesn't work for me though. I'll have to fiddle with it.

edit: Adding this back in. I don't remember the content of this post anymore.

Here we have Robin Williams singing Blame Canada from the movie South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut at the 2000 Academy Awards.

I made an avatar a few days ago for WordPress.com but a lot of folks had issues with making it out. I went ahead and changed it but I wanted to post it here so that folks could see what the image was of. It's from the webcomic Sabrina Online. It publishes monthly and I enjoy it greatly.

This is also a test to see how BlogDesk handles image uploads.

Here's the full picture.

I found an interesting website that I wanted to mention - browsershots.org. It allows you to view your website using different browsers to see how it looks. In addition to the more popular browsers like IE and Firefox, it also allows you to view your site when viewed with browsers like Opera, Konqueror, Firebird, Dillo, and Safari. In addition, you can check again different screen resolutions, Java and Javascript, different versions of Flash, and other selections. It does take a few minutes for the results to appear. After about 20 minutes, I'm still waiting myself for some of the screen shots to come back to me. The site doesn't look too good in IE 5 and Konqueror since they can't handle the div tags.

Don't over do it either. Looks like they have a fairly large queue for results to appear. It is an interesting site though.
