I clicked on it and they all went away again. Incidentally I was trying to find a way to add a new folder to “bloglines”:http://www.bloglines.com when this happened. The new folder option is very well hidden.
bq.:http://www.aquarionics.com/journal/2004/07/01/Employment#comment-2520 Currently in the blog backlog are posts about the “private”:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3811881.stm “space”:http://www.whump.com/moreLikeThis/link/04012 “flight”:http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99996052 (once the moment has passed it seems wrong to blog about it, but it was so important), the “Dave Winer Attacking Women Incident”:http://weblog.burningbird.net/archives/2004/06/21/and-the-proof-is/ (sorry Shelley, I ignored the troll and despite the plea it remains very difficult to write the hatred of the situation I feel), stuff about the “Universal Feed Parser”:http://diveintomark.org/archives/2004/06/21/feed-parser-30 and my future aggregator plans (always tomorrow, always), a random idea about “weblogs and wiki spams fighting techniques”:http://www.museworld.com/archives/001433.html that I’m sure will fix the world forever (hopefully I’ll right it down before the bypass is built), the fact they found a “unexploded bomb down Oxford Road yesterday”:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/berkshire/3854655.stm (and it was very interesting cycling past the armed police; Aquarion did you leave anything behind we should know about?), how I’m getting on with “Test Driven”:http://diveintopython.org/unit_testing/index.html “Development”:http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?UnitTest (very well thank you very much; it is very good) and some random thoughts about the latest “Apple Steal Things From Developers”:http://www.russellbeattie.com/notebook/1007900.html meme that is probably too boring to mention.
So that’s all sorted then 
I forgot to mention a raft of gmail stuff, so
* “Gmail gems”:http://gmailgems.blogspot.com/
* “Gmail hacks”:http://indrayam.com/archives/services_and_software/000309.php. Particualarly like the + hack

I messed around with PHP this afternoon and hacked the wp-recent-links so it grabs the referrer information using the bookmarklet. Now it automatically fills in the via section in “Newspaper Cuttings”:http://www.dellah.com/orient/cuttings/ like “Simon describes in his blogmarks”:http://simon.incutio.com/archive/2003/11/24/blogmarks. In fact, not knowing any javascript either, I got the bookmarklet code from “a link in a comment in that post at clagnut”:http://www.clagnut.com/blog/264/
I’ve emailed the author of the plugin, so he can either ignore it, or write the PHP properly and fix all the mistakes I’ve probably made.
I’m now off for a bath to sooth a bruised foot. Playing football last night, a swung my foot at a beautifully deliveried cross only to kick the studs of the intercepting defended. Now I can’t move my foot at all. Shame, cos I’m sure it was going straight for the top corner. Maybe I’ve broken my metatarsal, but that was sooo last year.
Danny O’Brien has an article in this week’s “New Scientist”:http://www.newscientist.com about RSS newsreaders.
bq. At seven o’clock every evening, Robert Scoble settles down on his sofa with his tablet PC and checks what’s new on more than a thousand websites.
Whilst I was half expecting to find out some new and exciting scientific treatment that would be available to cure this poor addicted person of his cruel affliction, I was no less delighted to read about RSS.
I’ve moved my linklog, “Newspaper Cuttings”:http://del.icio.us/sarabian, from del.icio.us to a WP powered side blog using “a plugin from rebelpixel”:http://rebelpixel.com/projects/wp-recent-links/. The main advantage of this is that it makes it possible for me to add via links to the entries and give due credit, and gives me control of the output in a way I didn’t quite have before.
“RSS Feed here”:http://www.dellah.com/orient/cuttings/feed/ and “the index page here”:http://www.dellah.com/orient/cuttings/ but as before you can see the links over on the side there.
“wp-recent-links”:http://rebelpixel.com/projects/wp-recent-links/ is a very neat “Wordpress”:http://wordpress.org plugin. I had to hack it a bit to get it to how I liked it. For example, it was hard coded to point to a /recent-links/ directory and I had to change it to /cuttings/. I’m glad I made the move to WP, as hacking plugins was something I found impossible in “MT”:http://www.movabletype.org. I understand PHP and can hack it, even though I can’t yet write it.
WordPress 1.2 is released and it took me about 5 minutes to move from the beta to the production version. And very good it is too. I had a very busy day today, and there are a lot of WP links to review and talk about. I’ll get round to looking at those tomorrow.
Also, “Adam spotted my problem with mturls”:http://www.dellah.com/orient/2004/05/17/moved#comment-1016 and this is working fine now. I’ve had a recent surge in search referrals and I was wondering what had caused it; the move to Wordpress or something else. Then I check and found I was number 5 in a search for “christiano ronaldo”:http://www.google.com/search?q=christiano%20ronaldo and his little acheivement over the weekend has sparked a huge number of searches.
