technology is asocial

2007-04-25T15:24:00.000-07:00

First of all technology does not save time. Every time we do things 5 min faster we fill the hole with babies. People go live far far from work and food because they have a car. It apparently just doesn't take long enough to get there for their feeling of time.Second: technology does not make things better. Every time we do something 5 min faster the result will also be 5 min worse. Sometimes

scripts that wrote themselves

2007-01-27T08:55:00.000-08:00

This is what I've been looking for all along, I've always known the moment we (or I) write scripts that can rewrite themselves to be more useful we've automagically created life. I didn't write about it much as I enjoyed exploring the idea on my own so much.The Borg in startreck seem to have a chaotical technological superiority. It's no secret they assimilate various races thus have various

2007-01-17T07:23:00.000-08:00

I've up and down graded this blog to the new blogger and of course some of my scripts work and some don't. It's quite sad to see I cant use the link field for categories anymore. O_O So my category scrips are broken beyond fixing.An exploit I used to divide a post over more as one page stopped working. I can edit those posts but that will break what is left of my categories structure.Then the

I like long pages with lots of info on a subject but I also like to be able to browse really fast. I've investigated a bit using pages less then 4kb and clicking around them is just sooo much faster as normal navigation it absolutely is worth it. more> It also means the lay out of the page should be as simple as possible which isn't always desirable. A single image could spoil the effect. It

the css triangle

2006-08-22T17:37:00.000-07:00

I know... I know... It's pathetic but I've started playing with css. People say you cant do cross-browser round-corners without-images. I think I've done a reasonable job at em. I've made de corners a bit rounder (to show off), they don't need to be so fat.I had to invent the css triangle first.Strange that such simple shapes are not included in normal html.

Manual blogger categories

2006-08-13T15:53:00.000-07:00

If you want to categorise your blog posts in a html editor you need the HTML link tags for all posts. Here is an easy trick: First we set the blog to display 999 posts on the front page don't republish it but go to your template. We clean out the whole template box(you could make a backup but it's not necessary). Then past this mini template into the box.<Blogger><a href="<$

how to add an icon to your website or blog

2006-08-13T08:11:00.000-07:00

If you want to add an icon to your blog you have 2 options. the best way is to add an 16x16 image named favicon.ico to the root of your site folder. http://www.[your website]/favicon.icoFor example:icon: url: http://www.google.com/favicon.icoAnother way (if you don't have access to your site folder for example on blogger) is to add a link tag to the html document. like this><link rel="

Now that my chaos of small ideas is melting together into one huge plan ( If only I had 3 or 12 of myself.) I've been keeping much of my scripting ideas to myself. My bad I know but I like to play with a concept while making it public. Do not think to big of my "making public", look at it as a sight or viewpoint that I publish. It may just inspire some-one to create teh cool. That would be enough

*edit*I've removed this script from this blog. It was fun to inport parts of postings but it didn't work so well, specially with posts holding other nested posts. It takes little time to get confused on where you are and a lot of time to load. The resulting articles did have huge context inprovement so much that the seperate posts didn't cover it's payload. This made the (way to) slow method the

1, 2, 3I was reading an interesting post about pagination earlier. The word is entirely new to me. It means dividing a post over more as one page. I thought that would be fairly easy to do in a number of ways.1, 2, 3The easy way would be to use the expandable post zones. We put each part of the post in a separate div (or span) with an unique id just like a normal "read more" chunk. Now we take

Content about categories here

2006-06-28T08:36:00.000-07:00

What would be the best way to do categories? Wordpress is nice, if you plan to build your own public. To you, "devoted writer" it's worth the few bucks to make something of your effort. What-ever you make, do- always leave the old blog up. ;-)I've been puzzling with blogs for a long time Now, I think the goal is to make something worth reading to a specific audience. Read that like "crawl into
