Over at the WaSP: Is the end of standalone IE as bad as we thought? Maybe, maybe not. Depends on whether pay-for browsers made by MS attempt to fix the glaring standards bugs that exist in their (ex) free browser. Only time will tell.

Man, the new admin section is much easier to use. And has more eye-candy for me to rest my eyes on whilst I type these entries.

Better news on the coffee front. I bought some coffee and have discovered that the microwave is a reasonable kettle substitute. Even better news is that my flatmate is bringing a kettle back from home today!


I spent an hour or two redesigning my admin area for this site. It's now alot nicer than before, with similar tabs on it to the main site. I've changed the look of the tabs just for experimentation purposes and they look quite cool. I may change them on the main site sometime, but both the main site and the admin styles look equally as good, so I probably will not. The most likely scenario is that I'll use them in an alternate style sheet if I get round to adding that back to the site.

I am also thinking of adding comments back to the posts on the site. If you think that would be a good idea, post in the chatterbox for now. I was thinking that it might be useful for starting bug threads and so on, as well as just for normal posts on the weblog. Thoughts?

I’d like to point you towards Amber’s site. She’s a DJ over in San Francisco. Tantek pointed me towards her site. Download a couple of her mix tracks if you are into more hard trance/house stuff. There pretty cool to code to =)

Though the Bitstream Vera Fonts don’t look great in Windows (the font smoothing seems a bit off), I just rebooted to Linux and they look lovely here. Not that surprising I guess, as they were designed with Linux font rendering (specifically FreeType, I believe) in mind…
