Monkinetic Weblog

Aaron - this is for you. Hang in there. ;-)

I just whipped up an RSS 1.0 version of redmonk.net.

I happened to have a digital camera this morning on my way into work, so I snapped this pic of downtown Phoenix. These buildings are about a block from our office.

Well, we signed the title papers, paid a goodly sum in down-payment, and it has all been recorded. The new house is ours!!!

Hopefully next week I'll write up a quick summmary of my experiences with CSS so far. Much thanks to James Spahr and Mark Pilgrim for their help and advice. James even took my monkey-wrenched stylesheet and untwisted it for me - including comments! Woohoo!

Mark Pilgrim has posted an Accessibility statement for his site.

Ugh. Hans sent along this screenshot of the test css layout in Netscape 4. Sad, very sad.

I've been watching the latest blogger war: css vs. tables - which is actually not new by any means, but this just happens to be when the blogging community got around to it.

The Shifted Librarian joined my must read list out sheer gratitude for this link:

Ugh. Jim wanted to report a bug in Userland's Radio Userland, and ask a question. The reward for his trouble?

Heh. Spring starts in February here in the Southwest. Since mostly you see cacti and desert shrubs, I thought these flowering trees across the street from the Webhouse were awesome. Reminds me of Virginia.

An excerpt from an email at work:

Ok, this is COOL. David Brown has got Radio Userland working as a Python IDE. The outliner is a miracle worker in this context. Damn, if I only had the $40...

Glenn Reynolds writes about the new Google Search Appliance: "You can also take the raw XML output and work with it, too, which opens up a wide array of possibilities of combining Google's search output with other intranet or Internet services."

This article about the movie studios vs. personal video recorders has been making the rounds.

"The dilemma is, the technology is turning the business model upside down. But that doesn't mean it's copyright infringement." Damn straight.

Hmmmm?

I've added a new category: Semantic Web to this site.

I've been reading about RDF in the evenings, and hanging out on #plex (irc.openprojects.net).

I like this icon.
