there’s just something I like about serifs, so I thought it was about time I seriffed the fonts on my own site.

other than that, it’s still the same old boring gray theme.. tbh i’m waiting for Wordpress 3 before my next major site facelift (not that the 2 are really related, but anyway…)

1. Finish my final year project / dissertation (obviously)
2. Become a vi or emacs pro
3. Learn more about typography and font design
4. Get used to using SVN
5. Improve my handwriting to something slightly more elegant / less horrible
6. Enjoy my last few months as an undergraduate

So this is just a small site I built as part of my undergrad coursework. The basic idea was to build any sort of publically “useful” mashup using Ruby on Rails.

My idea is a simple site which aggregates a bunch of feed URLs, picks the most popular keywords among them all and them displays them in a cloud. Also, user interaction alters the scoring so that things keep updating themselves as people use the site.

Anyway I know it’s not much, but having this link here might help it’s ranking ever so slightly.. plus if you randomly stumble across this page, please do click so I can register some website hits

So yesterday I wrote a post linking to the Let’s Kill IE6 initiative, and this is what happened:

Nice!

I absolutely hate it when software adds context menu items without asking me.. This thread has info about removing the “Adobe Drive CS4″ context menu from your system.

I use Vista x32 and the 2nd method worked for me, i.e. removing the two registry keys mentioned.

1. Decide on a topic for my dissertation
2. Read more, both novels & non-fiction
3. Learn Latex
4. Do some Unix programming
5. Make some money

This is my blog. It won’t be updated very often, and will only really contain code snippets/links to things that I’ve found useful. Other than that, don’t expect much else… sorry, but the world has enough stupid blogs.
