Amazon has done the unfathomable and changed its wishlist link; as far as we know, nobody was informed, and if you don’t have a cookie you might see items that aren’t supposed to be there. [Thanks to Kristen and Kottke remainders for the news] And Blogshares has been closed down. So I’ve removed the link …
We had a server problem for a couple of days. I guess our web host had ‘itchy fingers’ once again, and either upgraded some server software without re-installing some necessary modules, or simply uninstalled modules which they didn’t think were necessary. Because Movable Type required these modules to function, nobody on my server was able …
Funny how a PHP upgrade has caused more problems than the previous version! I also introduce two MT plugins to do with web validation and compliance.
Obviously, I know something is wrong with all my web pages. I suspect the administrators installed or upgraded something on the server side without informing yours truly, because all my include file links seem to be generating errors – although they do load. [My earlier suspicions seem to be well-grounded, as checks reveal that the …
I’m pleased to announce the arrival of The Daily Weblog’s new category newsfeeds, for those who only want to read about a certain topic in their newsfeed readers. Cheers to the girlie matters for this very useful tip (among many others).

So I terminated that …
My Currently Reading list has returned – in a more graphical format. Curiously enough, Amazon.com indicated that I gave them a fair number of clickthroughs over the past few months. So to better track which titles my readers are interested in, I’ve decided to make the online bookshop a permanent fixture in my listings. Like …
Another incredible Blogshares jump in share price – this time to $495.77 with a valuation of $26,585.61, at last count. Good news to those who believe in hedge funds, as there are lots of ‘trimmings’ for the taking. Personally I don’t try to blog in such a way as to increase my share price. I …
I’ve added a new category, About This Site, as well as a new MT plugin which inserts acronym tags into my MT body content. So the next time I ramble off in XHTML, CSS, XML, XSLT, PHP, ASP, SVG and DOM, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Cheers. Update: Okay, it works, but it has …
New feature added with thanks to Textism: Google search terms will now be highlighted, for those who find this site via the search engine. More upgrades to come in the next few weeks. Hope nothing screws up again 😛
