Whats wrong with this script?
Dec 31st
Okay… its nearly 4:30am and I’m seriously getting annoyed. Heres an example. I’ve changed it to make it really simple to follow, but you’ll get the idea. Code below the cut. <script type=”text/javascript” language=”JavaScript”> <!– function changeWoW() { var main, paras; main = document.getElementById(“main”); paras = main.getElementsByTagName(“p”); for (var i = 0; i < paras.length;…
Code frustrations
Dec 31st
Exceptionally frustrated. Part of the biggest problem I have with the XMLHttpRequest is the security limitations of the browser. I can’t run a bit of code on this blog and pull data from my other domains using XMLHttpRequest. The data source has to exist on the same domain as the running script. I have a…
Page and Brin buy in to Broken Arrows
Dec 30th
Nope, not Google’s #1 fanboy in NZ anymore, but given the market I’m very interested (and somewhat active) in, Google news of any kind is still extremely relevant. Except this one. It would seem that Sergey and Larry are not happy just starting google.org to give buckets of money away at every turn. Now they…
Reply to Rodney Hide’s loop unbundling comments
Dec 27th
What follows is my reply to Rodney Hides post about Local Loop unbundling. You can find his post here. Rodney hide spouts some absolutely worthless rubbish at the moment. Unfortunately, his site won’t let me comment without being registered, and when I try to register it keeps failing me regardless of the “screen name” I…
Save the Creative Commons this Christmas
Dec 25th
Are you a blogger? Are you making movies or distributing music and images you have created? Do you use one of the Creative Commons Licenses? Creative Commons Needs your help. Badly. If the goal hasn’t been met by New Years, Creative Commons could find itself being forced to shut down by the IRS. As Larry…
Snowball Fight!
Dec 25th
Currently in Guild Wars there is a fight between the gods Dwayna and Grenth over who will rule the next year. :-) And instead of the gods themselves coming down and getting all dirty and icky, they’ve got us mere mortals doing the fighting for them. But its with a twist. There is a new…
Maria von Trapp’s next vacation spot? Maybe?
Dec 24th
This is just too funny. :-) IN THE beginning was the word of God and God never said anything about brassieres or boxer shorts. Thus was born Natura, America’s first Christian nudist camp. After two years of biblical debate over Adam and Eve and their fig leaves and whether or not nudity is sinful, a…
New (sort of) blog
Dec 24th
Mike is a regular here. I’ve known him since about 1998 or so. Hard to remember exactly when, the years have tended to blend together in recent times. Anyway! Ages ago, Mike had himself a blogger blog, but he gave it up for some reason. ;-) Then he got himself another blog in more recent…
Google’s SEC filing Re: AOL
Dec 24th
How many of you have taken the time to look at exactly what Google has told the SEC about their deal with AOL? I take back what I said about Google selling out. It actually looks like it could be a whole lot more interesting and totally muddy than that. In fact, if I’m reading…
Tennyson Murdered
Dec 23rd
Does anyone else find it ironic that the great-grandson of Lord Tennyson was stabbed in the back? THE great-grandson of the poet Alfred Lord Tennyson has been found dead at his home in London with a knife in his neck, British newspapers reported today. The naked body of Hallam Augustine Tennyson, 85, was reportedly discovered…
