Matt reports that another user has discovered that WordPress supports enclosures! That’s great, but others have legimate concerns about it.
Major Storm Heading Our Way!
Scary notice up on the MET EIREANN website! *gulp* I’m now glad that Blarney is inland!
Severe Weather Warning
A MAJOR STORM WILL AFFECT ALL PARTS OF IRELAND DURING WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. SOME STRUCTURAL DAMAGE AND FLOODING CAN BE EXPECTED. Winds, initially mainly between Northeast and Southeast in direction, will reach mean speeds of 45 to 55 miles per hour, with gusts of 70 to 80 miles per hour. Winds will may veer southerly on the South coast later. Structural damage such as fallen trees, etc. can be expected. Rainfall totals in excess of 50mm over a wide area will lead to some severe flooding, due to the already saturated ground. Some parts of Munster and south Leinster could see totals of up to 80 mm of rain. High Seas and high tides, will lead to coastal flooding, particularly in the South and East of the country.
Here’s a global wave height map of the Atlantic. Looks like Wexford’s going to be pounded! (Warning – trying to access that image crashed my copy of Moz FF, but wget worked fine.)
Inline WordPress Comments
I’m experimenting with inline WordPress comments. If you leave a comment on this or other posts the comment will display on the blog, under the post. I need to make it optional however and smarten up it a bit!
You’ll probably notice a few changes here over the next few hours as I play with it. It wasn’t too hard to do, but I decided to create a new template and not overload the original comments template file.
The Luck of the Irish : Economist Ireland Survey
The Economist survey of Ireland came out last week and it’s a great read for anyone curious about this little country of ours! Unfortunately, only the introduction is free to view on their site but if you have a subscription go read it!
Thoughts on Full Frame
The Power of Nightmares
Justin linked to The Power of Nightmares and I’m watching it now. Excellent and thought provoking look at the US neo-conservatives and al-Qaeda. Frightening too.
Pity some people think it’s all so simple. At least others are concerned for the safety of Margaret Hassan. God Help Her.
Later… As Keith removed my comment from his post, here’s what I’d like him to know..
Damn, but you’re one sick individual.
Much much later.. You can watch all three episodes online now. According to Metafilter they’re on Google Video and archive.org! Thanks Damien.
WPMU Nightly Downloads
I finally got around to creating a release script so I can quickly bang out WPMU tarballs and zip files.
Releases won’t come every day but when I make major changes to the system I’ll upload a new version and announce it here.
Here’s the download page.
Note: I haven’t as yet tested this version. It was created in a completely different way to past releases so it may not work quite as planned!
2004-10-22 Changes:
- Enclosures created by scanning blog posts.
- Lots of WordPress Core changes.
- Photoblog plugin displays links to posts where they exist.
- More than one enclosure now handled.
Beatles and Metallica? Beatallica
In what may seem like a sacrilegious act, a band called Beatallica combine Metallica and Beatles songs!
I haven’t listened to any of their stuff yet but it might be interesting! (via Ozh)
Morguefile Photography Classroom
Morguefile.com has what looks like an excellent photography course by Jodie Coston.
I briefly skimmed over lesson 1 and was very impressed. It’s something I’m going to come back to again and again.
World's Most Reliable CD-R From Delkin
According to this press release, Delkin make the “most reliable CDR in the world!”
Excuse me while I don’t believe you and make duplicate copies of all my photos. Anyway, CDR is simple too small for my archival needs. DVD-R is what I need and use and I’m due to make my annual copies of my current archive in the next few weeks.
I really should buy a CD box to store all that media..
