  • Mac vs PC

    Mac versus PC. The Sydney Morning Herald decides to settle the issue once and for all… and guess what? The Mac wins. Boo-yah!

  • Kazaa

    Shh. I might have a new job. I had an interview recently and it went really well. Company is cutting-edge yet fun, and I’d earn more than I do now. Plus I’d get to work on one of the world’s most popular applications. I don’t want to jinx it just yet… but maybe I can give you a hint.

  • OS X

    Panther is coming! Panther is coming! Hooray, we finally have a release date – October 24. That’s two weeks from tomorrow! I’ve been waiting for this for ages. I desperately need to repartition my hard drive and clear out some old crap but I’ve been waiting til my next major OS install to do it. Hmm, I wonder if any of the Apple stores in Sydney will be celebrating the release. I’m way too excited about this.

    Eek… $230 AU though. Ouch.

  • Blogon

    I just discovered that the Herald has a regular column about blogs! Now if I could just get a mention…

  • Channel EPSON

    My latest work project is live!

  • DB errors

    Sorry for the weird database errors this morning. I have no idea what happened. I’ve put in a workaround for now and I’ve raised a support request with my host. Just let me know if you notice any other problems…

    Update: Turns out it wasn’t my fault. Some other user at my ISP mistakenly filled up the /tmp directory, which somehow I needed to use. So it’s all good now.

  • Cookies

    Woohoo! I managed to fix that bug that prevented Safari users (including myself) from saving their cookies at this site. If you’re using GoddessBlog, you need to rewrite a few lines to make it work. If anybody else notices any weirdness when leaving comments here (like if it suddenly won’t remember your name), please let me know.In addcomment.php, look at lines 34-37. I’m using the “header” command to send the cookies to the browser. Safari is kinda puking on this, so instead we’ll send them a different way. Just change those lines to look like this:

    $date = date(“D, d-M-y H:i:s”, ($time));
    setcookie (“userName”, $userName, $time, ‘/’,
    ‘www.web-goddess.org’);
    setcookie (“userEmail”, $userEmail, $time, ‘/’, ‘www.web-goddess.org’);
    setcookie (“userUrl”, $userUrl, $time, ‘/’, ‘www.web-goddess.org’);

    That should do it! Oh, and of course, replace the www.web-goddess.org with your own domain name. 🙂

  • Tabs!

    Safari Beta 2 is out… and it’s got tabs! I’m tabbing it up, baby!

  • A blog TV show?!

    Have you heard about the TV show about blogging that is supposedly in production? I got an e-mail from these folks yesterday, who thought my “web site seems like a potentially great fit for the show”. Of course, the fact that I’m in Australia and not bloody likely to send a “miniDV-format” video of myself to the US to be on a TV show I’ll never see seems to have escaped them. Looks like they’re just googling and spamming. Idiots. I wouldn’t waste your time on that one, folks.

    Update: Looks like at least one other person got it too.

  • Fun little game

    The Snook’s company has released a fun little time-waster of a Flash game called Penguin Panic. It’s basically Frogger, just with a little penguin. Apparently in the first version there were polar bears that you had to avoid, but Rodd eventually stopped laughing and pointed out that penguins and polar bears live at opposite poles. 🙂

    Eek! Link removed. Apparently that’s just a secret little test thing and I wasn’t really supposed to link to it. Oops! If you linked it on your blog or something, could you take it down for now? I’ll tell you when we get permission.
