huge batch of links that even I don’t remember what they all are.

these have been piling up for the last few days (week?):

something quirky

I’m thinking about taking my work on XML & XSLT and writing an XML-based commenting system. or quite possibly not…I’d actually need a new host, since I don’t think this one offers the PHP XSLT extension. oh, and I’d need to figure out how use said extension. (that was my task this morning, and I totally flubbed it. ended up going back to straightforward XSLT. straightforward XSLT?!)

I really do want a commenting system, though, one way or another. I’ve gotten used to it in other people’s journals/blogs, and it’s terribly addictive when you just want to drop in a quick note. (of course, I could just work on going to MT, but I’m not in the mood quite yet, and blogger pro is pretty darn tasty otherwise.)

right you are

K learns the zen. and yeah, I sometimes flub that button thing too…the one thing about blogger that strikes me as being well and truly poorly designed. it’s interesting seeing others go down the path of knowledge that one has already tread…especially when they end up at different conclusions. (joeclark is something else, ain’t he? I’m still waiting for my copy of his book.)

yay!

we got the approval letter from the credit union today. lots of papers to sign, homeowners’ insurance to find, but it’s all ours!

ack.

I left my keys in the house…and C. was out this afternoon/evening. obviously, I finally made it inside, and without too much clambering.

…but I play one on TV…

I’m not usually interested in biblical scholarship, but this was linked to in various spots, and included a line that seemed to connect to other recent thinking here: “After all, who would have understood the ramifications Europe’s discovery of movable type when the first Bibles were printed on Gutenberg’s press?” – This is Not a Bible.
