Homeopathy Illustrated
This is a great description of Homeopathy. I have occasionally pointed out to (usually unreceptive friends) a few of the curious consequences of logic in Homeopathy, but this little cartoon is a far more entertaining analysis:
What up with the “+” Google?
<meta content=”text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1″
http-equiv=”Content-Type”>
Type “Log Viewer” (without the quotes) and get “Log+Viewer.” It seems
like an operator that would force adjacency, but it doesn’t seem to.
“Log AND Viewer” becomes “Log+AND+Viewer” (the explicit operator isn’t
parsed) and “”log viewer”” becomes “”log+viewer”” so it seems the space
is being replaced with “+” (#32 replaced by #43).

Spooky Cupid Shuffle
A modern Macarena? Is it odd when people start a synchronized dance at the German embassy?

Roses are Blooming
And postie is back-reved to 1.1.5, which worked as expected. The new version doesn’t work as expected. As the old version was doing what I needed, and very nicely, I’ll back rev to it, though I’m a little worried that WordPress 3.0 will break it. Pictures are nicely resized and the framing is what I’d hope. I’ll upgrade everything else and then try postie 1.4.x again.
Rental Cadillac DTS
If you’re trying to compete with Mercedes an Infinity, you have to be able to read at least a FAT32 file system if not an ipod and usefully navigate folders and playlists.
Postie Image Resize Seems Broken
I updated Postie for the first time in many years, and it seems my fix for ImageMagick is now obsolete, but another fix may be necessary.
It may be that Postie just doesn’t like the FreeBSD environment. The ImageMagick fix was mostly to point Postie’s hard-coded targets to BSD standard locations. This time through I haven’t found the right code yet as postie-functions.php has been completely rewritten.
