Kitten Mittons!
After Tortuga had her kittens, the clatter of tiny paws was almost deafening. We really could have used a whole case of these!
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.
