dog and lemon at 1152x864

dog and lemon is getting lots of space around it now but it looks ok

dog and lemon barely fits into an 800x600 screen, but those users are used to that

this is "wide" for today. yes my monitor goes bigger than this, but yours only does it at sucky framerates.

i'm calling this "medium" but it's only really useful on a 17" monitor

glob != blog

well of course it's a blog, innit. but i swear it wasn't until after i'd set it up and stuff that i realised 'glob' is (of course ya) "blog" with the old esrever encryption applied. i swear!

'glo' is the name of the machine that hosts this (^^look up there^^) and i was going to call it "globlog" for that reason, but i friggen hate the word "blog", it sounds like a POO, so i shorted it to "glob" which is cool and leet. by the way you should download the nerdcore finery from http://www.rhymetorrents.com and get a load of 1337 G33K B34T's "emulation station" which judderbar and i love to play Moon Thingy to. Loud.

and now after a minute of reflection i realise that glob is actually "bolg" in reverse so it's all ok

welcome to our house

oh my golly a flat blog, that's so KHAMP!

import ...

Today I have been wondering about what function (or language features) I would most like to bring into Real Life.

Some thoughts:

  • gc() I probably needed more a year or two back ... but it's an obvious goodie.
  • YUI's stopEvent() and stopPropagation() would be super handy*, but when I walk into a crowded room, I'd rather have jQuery at hand. Not that I go to bars very often now I'm of breeding disposition.
  • I know the Python kids love from __future__ import * and who wouldn't. Except from __future__ import t2000. Grr.
  • efficient redirection is critical for any useful things to get done, so hand me my pipe, without which I wouldn't be where I am today. For better or worse. Probably zero sum.

* I mean }}} (>.<) {{{ handy
