Vegetarianism

Posted in Livejournal

I eat a lot of imitation tofu.
I’m personally opposed to cruelty to soybeans. So I eat tofu substitutes made from chicken, beef, pork…

Lead a Müller Life

Posted in Livejournal

Hehe, umlauts rock.
Bit bored today. Not a lot to do.
Can’t ride Pad, still waiting for the farrier. Can’t review any tea-rooms, I am wheel-less.
So it transpires that this post is entirely pointless, serving only to fill my time. Hopefully it will occupy someone in the same situation as me when they read it.
Meh…

Emails

Posted in Livejournal

Lately I’ve been sending a lot of emails to other website owners regarding link-swapping for the TRA. Basically I put a relevant link on our site and they link back to us for mutual benefit.
The emails tend to be stuffy and formal because you don’t know the person you’re emailing and (from experience) webmasters think they are important. I got bored of writing boring, polite, emails and sent this to the UK Tea Council:

Hello there Tea-guild UK!
As a huge fan of Tea and Tea-Rooms I started a review site for those hallowed shrines-of-the-brew.
I was wondering if my site (http://tra.whaletattoo.com) might warrant a mention, link or sacraficial offering on yours?
Don’t worry if not. No hard feelings. I’ll still drink Tea. Promise.
A link would be super though!
Ta,
Tom Wright

PS I know your name is really the “UK Tea Council” but “Tea-guild UK” flows better; you should consider rebranding…

Reckon they’ll respond?

editormonkey

Posted in Livejournal

This is a public service announcement:
The editormonkey plugin for wordpress has a typo that stops any installations being valid xhtml. To correct:

  • Open /wp-content/plugins/editormonkey.php
  • Go to line 326
  • Change
    1
    
     echo "\n<style type='text/css'/>\n";

    to

    1
    
     echo "\n<style type='text/css'>\n";

This stops the style tag from self closing.
Have a nice day.

Comprehension Dawns

Posted in Livejournal

I am one more a geek. Some intensive deconstructions later I feel like I understand the basics of XPath, XLS and semantic data.
Check out this feed: wp-rss2.php.
Compared to this feed: old-wp-rss2.php.
And I’ve only stopped there for sleep. Prettyness will follow…

(Phew, thought I’d lost it for a while then!)

Bah!

TODO: “Learn XSL you great oaf!” We live in the age of semantic data storage and I can’t even apply a proper style to an XML - I am not worthy of the title geek…

Frank Zappa’s favourite curse was ‘may your turds come to life and try to kiss you’.
So there.
