mozdev.org – editcss
I haven’t tried editcss yet, I have to restart my browser to finish the installation! Looks dead handy for editing css easily!
The Editing Process
I hate hearing media people/journalists/artists talking about media people/journalists/artists. *Yawn*
So, here’s a short but insightful piece on writing, handy for all you blog writers! 🙂
Hiding
He hid but I found him! 🙂
2004 Republican National Convention in NYC
More from the 2004 Republican National Convention in NYC.
The shock of what happened on August 31 is still wearing off for those of us unfortunate enough to be caught up in what can only be described as a desperate act by law enforcement.
I covered this previously.

Who is that with Jeremy?
Who is that with Jeremy? – he’s met lots of famous people for one so young!
Custom Fields in WPMU
You can now use custom fields to execute functions in WPMU!
Currently there’s only one function, that’s “photoblog” but more will come.
When you’re writing a post, click the “advanced editing” button and scroll down. You’ll see text boxes where you can enter custom field keys and values. Now, edit your blog post.html in the template editor and add {custom_fields} where you’d like the output to appear.
For my last post I used “photoblog” as the key, and “20040922” as the value. The photo will appear tomorrow and I avoid all the nasty Javascript I had before!
What's Her Name?
We’re trying to come up with a name for her. There are a few suggestions but I don’t know yet..
Looks like she’s adopted us, so a call to the vet’s in order next week probably!
Here’s some reading for later:
- Cat Facts
- Zen Of Cats
- Clumping Clay – I’m sure you’re all dying to find out about this stuff 🙂
From the Sunday Times
I’m a big fan of the Sunday Times – there’s just so much in there! Here’s a few snippets that’ll probably only be available for the next few days..
- Jeremy Clarkson: Let’s brand our man’s army – soldiers wearing sponsor’s badges? Marlboro logos on the Red Devils?
I’m not suggesting that a soldier should be made to wade into battle looking like a Formula One racing driver, but there is a happy medium. I’m thinking as a guide of the discreet but effective logos allowed at Wimbledon; a little patch on the epaulet that lets the watching TV cameras know that the wearer drives an Audi.
- Andrew Sullivan: So long Kerry, you look like the ultimate loser – the election was “his to lose” a few weeks back but things aren’t looking all that great for Kerry now. Hmm, I really should cover the (maybe) Irish Presidential election, if it happens!
- Revealed: the secret of Tesco’s ‘phoney’ price war – surprised? Not really, although if you avoid the best selling stuff you can pick up bargains!
- Idea of the week: Spotme – vibrator tells you when you’re near someone you want to meet? oooer! I can see lots of smiling faces at the conferences..
- Ireland: The myths that cost you money – 5 pages of ’em!
SSIAs are the best savings vehicle
Special savings investment accounts (SSIAs) are attractive given the government bonus of 25% in addition to the favourable tax treatment. However, says Duggan, there is a better savings vehicle that has been available in Ireland for years – pension schemes. - Low cost loans – shop around, it’ll save you money!
- Confessions of a tourist: Someone for the weekend – hehe. these stories are always good! 🙂
- Innovation: Colour up with the chameleon car – paint that changes colour, from anything to anything. Black to Silver, Red to Yellow! Here’s the Trippin’ Paint website with photos!
- Comment: Brenda Power: We’ve gone potty over prisoners’ rights – a number of prisoners in Irish prisons are suing the government because they have to slop out. Evidence suggests that they’re treated very well, and the appropriate minister has vowed to fight every single action.
And lots, lots more to read..
Just think … if we didn't need oil there wouldn't be a problem
In this Sunday Times article the author says that, “Neo-cons are getting the green message: alternative fuels can win the long war”, although for completely different reasons!
