A Day in Paradise

Took Annie to see these guys last night. I knew Jonas’ family from my stay in Sweden, and had met him there about 10 years ago, so I figured that since they came from Thailand to Frankfurt for a gig, I might as well go and see them.
It turned out that they weren’t on […]

CNN.com - Sleeping woman ’seduced strangers’ - Oct 14, 2004
Sounds more like schizophrenia if you ask me… I’m thinking of Susanna in the Dark Tower. I’m still in the middle of “Wolves of Calla” so no spoilers please
The middle-aged woman had no idea that she was sneaking from her house at night in […]

Designer’s Block: Web applications and user experience
New Project Idea — Vimim
A friend of mine posted the message in his blog… gave me the following idea.
What would be cool, and maybe that’s what you were thinking of, would be to take VIM and turn it into a “normal” user-friendly program. Make nice menus and buttons and […]

PHP Zeitgeist
I’m a backend programmer who really sucks at CSS (no time to RTFM)… can one of my genius readers fix my zeitgeist page! I promise to read alistapart in its entirety.
Update: Fixed, thanks to myself… read my comment!

In the last two days I’ve gotten a credit card with the name “Worms” on it, and an email to “Warmus”.
I need to keep track of these… Maybe it deserves a category on its own

BlueShoes: PHP Syntax Exam
If you thought you sucked at the Zend test, try this one. If you though you did great on the Zend test, try this one.
I just made a whole test suite of examples like this last week, so I did pretty well. Good practice!

CIA - The World Factbook — South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
Bumped into this map when getting some information on where exactly .gs was! Couldn’t help but notice “Shag Rocks”. Sounds like a great place to party!

Florida Election Ballot
Check it out! Unfortunately it’s a bit buggy in Firefox

gopconstrm.mov (video/quicktime Object)
You’ve got to watch the whole thing through, it’s pretty funny. John McCain and Rudi Giuliani steal the show. Someone needs to put it to music.

PHP enterprise silliness | PHP Everywhere
When I think of Enterprise I think of Java (right after I think of Star Trek).
It seems to me like Java has put most of the buzz into the “Enterprise” buzzword. Instead of marketing Java directly, suits have been convinced that they now need an “Enterprise solution” and Java […]

DVD Rip Tutorial by EJ
YANTS!

Pinwire.com - This is a funny, funny StarWars video.
Must watch… too tired now!

Pinwire.com - Geek Greek : Use for Mock-Up’s
I can’t believe I only just found this. Use the following text instead of using the regular “Lorem ipsum…” text in layouts and mockups. It’s quite amusing.

Perhaps a re-engineering of your current worldview will re-energize your online nomenclature to enable a new holistic interactive enterprise Internet communication solution.
Upscaling […]

It’s a PHP quiz with 5 questions… couldn’t be too hard right?
