This morning I woke up, showered, dressed, and went to work. After work I came home, ate dinner, did laundry, went to the gym, showered, and watched Gilmore Girls. Then I wrote this post.
One of the things I’ve been geekily obsessed with lately is getting Kottke-style URLs for my individual archive pages, i.e. /yyyy/mm/entry-title-with-hyphens with most notably, no extension (or folder for that matter). I was so consumed by this idea I considered changing CMSs to make it easier on myself (and other things harder) but found a [...]
Emma got me a French press, so I can now make coffee at home whenever I want. We used it for the first time tonight, and the coffee was delightful.
There was a tiny bit of snow early this morning. I’m pretty sure I counted two, no, three flakes. When I was little and lived in good old New England, if snow was predicted, I’d run to the window in the morning to see if it had come true. Even if it had, there was [...]
Tonight I stopped into my local A.C. Moore (a craft store, if you didn’t know), and I happened to take notice of the store hours on my way in. With some notable exceptions, most retailers adopt a “close at nine” philosophy. So you can imagine I was slightly intrigued to note A.C. Moore’s closing time [...]
One of my favorite things about del.icio.us is the posting interface. It automagically suggests tags for you, which you can click to add, and with the nifty Javascript bookmark, it of course brings the site title and URL along. The coup de grâce, however, is that this bookmarklet does not open a popup window: it [...]
Just a quick public service announcement: you can listen to (and download) many (but not all) of the “Real Men of Genius” radio ads at budlight.com. For when you’re bored. It asks you for a birthdate, but you can always lie.
When I’m managing a ton of CSS, I frequently use a base PHP file in which I include various other CSS files I may need on a given page. How? Easy. Start off your file with the following: <? header(“Content-type: text/css”); ?> Then, you can link (for example) css.php as the CSS file in the [...]
Nothing you’ll really notice, but I did some revamping for myself on my archive pages, using Movable Type’s modules for the first time (modules are little chunks, or functions, of code and/or markup you can reuse in your templates). One of the things I wish Movable Type included is a way to create yearly archive [...]
I’ve made (and will make more) some minor site improvements/tweaks, so I’m going to geek out and tell you about them. Feedburner I (301) redirected all of my feeds to Feedburner because it rocks and gives me all sorts of fun stats and integrates my del.icio.us links. You should still subscribe with the link at [...]
