/Trackballs/ is a Marble Madness or Gyroscope clone. Gyroscope was the first C64 disk game I ever had. I was given it by someone but I don’t remember who now.. hmm. must download this tomorrow!
Interview with the KDE and Gnome UI/Usability Developers – OSNews.com
Here’s an excellent interview covering so much stuff I don’t even know where to start when trying to describe it!
Fever! Cork's newest band
Their homepage. I sat in on their rehersal the other night and they’re not bad at all! All the photos on the site are from that night!
flahed out
Happy Birthday Ruairi and welcome to blogging!
artSIG
From the makers of Photosig comes artSIG, a new website to artistic work. Looks good and the new version of the software will be ported to Photosig in time! They also have an information page too.
The Contiki Operating System and Desktop Environment
Yes, yes, you’ve all probably seen this already as it’s linked from slashdot! This operating system was originally written on the C64, occupies 42k of RAM, and has an impressive array of features, including a web browser! I’m going to watch out for that User-Agent in my access logs.. hehe
Nice looking URLs in b2, part 2
Not ugly URLs, like this one, are now working here. It took quite a bit of hacking and use of mod_rewrite but it appears to be ok now.
The number of mod_rewrite rules in the .htaccess file has gone up, mostly to avoid the problem of css styling disappearing. This line takes care of it:
RewriteRule ^(.*)archives(.*)/templates/(.*) /users/$1/templates/$3 [L]
RTÉ News: Ahern denies points system disarray
Of course there’s no problem! I did a lot of driving at the weekend, up to Dungarvan, to Clonmel and then back to Cork. I was passed several times by cars doing 70-80mph. Twice those cars were BMWs, the other time it was something similar to a Punto, driven by a boy racer who passed me just after I overtook another car, on a narrow road outside Cahir!
It is true that 50 people are alive today who would be dead if the Penalty Points weren’t introduced, but the Gardai need something better than “Pulse” to deal with the paperwork. Otherwise they’ll be ignored.
Nice looking URLs in b2
This is next on my TODO list. I’ll have to seperate some code from redirect.php to share with the “archives” file so it may not be very easy.
How to Log In with Safari ? the Solution
Mark Twomey already mentioned this to me, but here’s a solution I have now implemented so Safari users can login here. Adding “/” to the setcookie() commands is a security risk however as other blogs will have access to your login credentials. Unless you can modify the code on the server it’s impossible to take advantage of that however, another advantage of using Smarty!
