I just implemented this tip. Someday I’ll be the kind of person who meticulously adds titles to my links by hand, too.

I just added Sub Judice to my blogroll, cause I’m a lawyer junkie. It’s not so much a weblog as it is a dialogue: two lawyers, discussing issues of interest to them. They’ve been talking about the Grutter v. Bollinger (original) case recently, which may well mark the end of affirmative action in college admissions. I’ve also added Confessions of a Mozillan, which is written by Dave Hyatt, one of the main Safari developers. He’s commenting on issues reported with Safari, and letting us know about fixes. This is very impressive interactivity. ...

Entries were kinda light over the last few days because I was finishing up my zombies. (No kidding.) They will be light the next few days because I’m starting a new job. (Yay!) But no fear, I’ll be back.

By the by, I am sick as a dog and stoned out of my head on TheraFlu, so if I say anything really wacky today (or if I said anything really wacky yesterday) that’s why. I keep thinking I’m writing pithy witty paragraphs. I am very probably wrong.

Inspired by Teresa Nielsen Hayden, I present shrpshr.html, a global filter plugin useful for mockery and little else.

It’s pretty much traditional among a certain class of geek bloggers to come up with a way to set up an email->blog gateway. I’ve sort of put this off for a while, but since I’m pretty sure I’m about to go out and indulge in a Sidekick (original), the day can be delayed no longer. Thus: this entry, which was in fact posted wholly from within my email client. Which is mutt, and you can’t tell me that doesn’t make it worse.

I’m a geek. I’ve finally given into the desire to make Population: One even more full of cute little Web gimmicks; namely, we’re PHP-based now. If this means nothing to you, you ought to ignore it, which is generally good advice around here. Unless I’m talking about politics; all that stuff is Holy Writ. Anyhow, I abashedly admit that I made the change simply so that I could implement the random quote you’ll see over there on the right of the page under the Search box. There. See it? Yeah. It’s random. ...

Perceptive souls will notice a Creative Commons license in the bottom of the left hand column. Or, if you’re reading the bare bones Population: One, it’s at the bottom of the page. I wound up choosing the very liberal Attribution license. This means that anyone can copy, distribute, or display these pages or works derived from these pages, as long as they give me credit. I doubt anyone will, mind you. This is pretty much just a philosophical statement. ...

I’ve upgraded to Movable Type 2.51 (original). This will result in no visible changes. Huzzah!

ColorMatch 5K: bookmarked cause it won’t work under Mozilla derivatives, as far as I can tell. Conceptually cool, though. Perfect for design gimps like me.
