A brief rant on defining categories in a meaningful way. More inside.

As soon as you’re born, they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Til the pain is so big you feel nothing at all

I should really stop writing crap about everything I’m changing in the backend and start writing real, interesting stuff instead.

I’ve been poking around yet some more in the templates. I moved the entry info (date, permalink, categories et al) to the bottom of the entry instead. Makes more sense and reduced the clutter.

I made archive [...]

Ben Hammersley and his list of New Years’ resolutions. I wave my private parts at his aunties, as I have already done a large part of what he has on his list, namely the following:

Validated all my RSS feeds, as well as my HTML and CSS (minor problem with my HTML, but nothing that can’t [...]

I really don’t consider it necessary to buy me a bunch of presents just because it happens to be that time of year. But if you absolutely must do it, here are some inexpensive suggestions that would make me very happy.

A gift certificate at SF-Bokhandeln.
Buy me a ticket to The Two Towers. Preferrably in your [...]

There we are, my constant nagging finally paid off. My pal Breki has installed MovableType. It’s pretty bare-bones at the moment, he’s working on his own templates. Welcome to the blogosphere!

I have, after much thinking, decided to restructure the archiving format. Unfortunately, this will have the side effects of making my permalinks, well, unpermalinks. Sorry about that, but it’s for A Good Cause™.

The new format will be “/trashcan/62/” where 62 is the MTEntryID of the entry.

Now I’m just waiting for some applications with support for all these TLAs…

I’ve written a regular expression using Brad Choate’s nifty MT-Regex plugin for MovableType. It turns the string “100 SEK” into this: “100 SEK.” It’s easy to modify the currencies you want to change from/to. Here’s the code:

&lt;MTAddRegex name="currency"&gt;s|([0-9]+) <span style="color: red;">SEK</span>|$1 &lt;acronym title="Swedish Crowns"&gt;<span style="color: red;">SEK</span>&lt;/acronym&gt; (&lt;a href="http://www.exchangerate.com/quick_calculator.html?amount_from=$1&amp;calc_short_from_iso=<span style="color: red;">SEK</span>&amp;calc_short_to_iso=<span style="color: green;">USD</span>&amp;Submit=Convert" title="Convert from SEK to [...]

I’m looking at various low-end digital cameras. It would be really nice to have one, so I can assault people and take their pictures. Trust seems to have an interesting product line, and their cameras can double as web cams as well. Nice bonus. I’m googling for some reviews to see what the quality is [...]
