Too late
Nope, I’ve just spent too long blog surfing so I’m off to bed. I’ll update tomorrow.
I will leave you with this
Last night I realized I have a new psychic ability. I’m calling it telapathy. I can read the thoughts of others, but I don’t care what they’re thinking about.
I like it! 🙂
Someone also commented with these gems:
I also suffer from the fear of being stuck in a chimney (santaclaustrophobia), forgetting to delete junk mail (spamnesia), addiction to baby powder (talcaholism), and putting CD’s in backwards (disclexia).
🙂 🙂
G’night.
B2 Version 0.6.1
B2 0.6.1 is out! New stuff includes TrackBack 1.1 and RSS 1.0
I was going to go to bed, but I may just stay up and update my blog! 🙂
The Semantic Web
Les Orchard over at 0xdecafbad has a good summary of the semantic web
There are some other great references at the World Wid Web Consortium, the Semantic Web Community Portal, and at infomesh.
There is also an article in the May 2001 issue of Scientific American by Tim Berners-Lee, James Hendler and Ora Lassila.
Thanks to Michel V for the link.
Fireworks
We’ve been listening to fireworks going off all night. Some of them very loud. I can’t help think that it would be quicker and quieter to just burn the money instead.
Bah humbug 🙁
Style
You will have noticed that the site has gone back to it’s old style now that Halloween is over. If you use Mozilla or Netscape 7 you can still see the Halloween style by selecting View -> Use style -> Halloween.
Internet Explorer users cannot: IE doesn’t support the standard as this article at A List Apart describes 🙁
But then we encounter a problem. A major one. Mozilla provides a menu to select the style sheet we want to use under the view menu item. But Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) provides no such menu. So we have several style sheets, and no way to access them in MSIE.
I’ll implement the JavaScript solution proposed in the article at some point.
Happy Halloween
I thought I’d get into the spirit of the season with a new theme! Do you like it? I like the fact that the ghosts don’t move when you scroll. Spooky!
Jan’s decorated the house ready for tomorrow. Jamie is going over to Bekki and Thom’s tomorrow for Bekki’s Halloween party. It’s finishing early so I’m going to miss it. I’ve asked Jan to take pictures though.
I carved my first ever pumpkin tonight! What do you think of him? Mean looking isn’t he?
Nothing Broken
I went to A&E (Accident and Emergency) this morning regarding my ankle. After getting it examined, examined again, X-rayed twice, and then examined again, it was determined that nothing is broken. Good. I was sent to a physiotherapist who explained that I have been doing the wrong thing by avoiding any strain on my ankle. All though to be fair I did worry that something was broken.
Anyway, I’ve got to exercise it now, stretching it and balancing on it. This so that the damaged tissue doesn’t heal compressed and hardened.
I worked from home this afternoon, and I’m back in the office tomorrow.
