Having a blast learning CSS and XHTML

2003.10.17 . .

I've been having a blast learning to design using CSS and XHTML. It's fun updating all the br tags to include a trailing slash, figuring out how all this can be implemented into the Content Management System that I use on a daily basis for the CORAL site, and imagining how wonderful life is going to be for me as a webmonkey once all this geeky goodness totally sinks in.

A test from mailEdit

2003.10.17 . .

This is a test post from mailEdit, a tool for Radio that enhances the built-in functionality which allows an email to post a weblog entry. The cool thing about mailEdit is that one has much better control over the post and its destination. For instance, I can tell it not to post to the home page and set which categories the post goes to.

Though I'm supposed to be able to include an image as an attachment, I couldn't get the image part to work. It kept dispaying the image distorted, as if the horizontal aspect is stretched. Oh well, at least category routing and post title is working. That's all I really need.

Radio users, install this archive macro

2003.10.17 . .

I just installed David Phillips (TweezerMan) archive macro, monthlyArchiveLinks and now I have a simple, automatically updated archive page.

This macro should be essential for all Radio users. Just grab it, install it in Radio, enter the macro on a new page called Archive, or in your home page sidebar, and forget about it.

iTunes Link Maker

Apple has added a very useful utility to their website that will generate HTML you can paste into your website to search for any song, artist, or album in iTunes.

Keith sez, "I've been blogging the process of having my entire back tattoo'd with a Japanese Koi. I am eight sessions in, with four more to go."

EFF's new file-sharing movie

2003.10.17 . .

For years, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has been waging war against peer-to-peer file-sharing software and the technologists who create it. Now the RIAA has turned its crosshairs on you, threatening to sue you for sharing the music you love. But even shotgun-style lawsuits won't solve the RIAA's problem. As more and more Americans learn to love online music, the answer must lie in new business models that harness the power of P2P as a vehicle for paying artists. If artists get paid when we share files, then artists win, we win, and yes -- even the RIAA wins. [Boing Boing]
