Have been digging back through intepid, splitting apart entries which should never have been combined and capitalizing all instances of the personal pronoun I . Since a lot of external links go dead anyway, I figure there’s not too much point treating past content as sacred, and with the new randomizing sidebar I was noticing that a lot of the titles were pretty unhelpful [lots of "Stuff" and "Things"].

This month’s top referrer: Edward Tufte! In the lastest entry of his Sparklines discussion he points to my own post on the subject [in a positive way too – Yay!]

Last month’s top referrer was Wikipedia, although the links are actually to a specific page stored on jujusoft and not intepid. Check out Wikipedia’s [slightly dodgy] entry on DONKEY.BAS with links at the bottom to source and executable stored on my site.

Downloaded it, installed it, ran it, got bored, uninstalled it a few days later. A typical software experience. In general I’m getting really sick of the desktop software paradigm [download - install - configure - break - uninstall - repeat].

Web-based applications = cross-platform install-free goodness. Eg, the idea of going back to a desktop aggregator after using Bloglines seems laughable to me now.

Speaking of broken desktop software…

Recently got to the bottom of a Daylight Savings issue that’s been plaguing me for years!

Click here to see what intepid looks like without style sheets applied [ugly! be sure to click again to re-enable them]. Copy the link as a bookmark and it should work for any site you’re browsing; very handy for the amateur web designer.
