books I walked over to San Francisco's best book store Staceys earlier to pick up a copy of Pattern Recognition, and was happy to spot new books from Stephen Baxter and Ken MacLeod as well :) They should keep me busy for a while.

redesign almost done, just a few minor things left to sort out (tips welcome!)

Ditch the image for the day link, and have the day/date header be the link to the daily archive page. [done]
Do something about the # permalink graphic. [done]
Work out how to get a < % @ OutputCache ... %> directive into the file that Radio upstreams. [done]

Once that's done i'll regenerate all the pages. Thanks to Jake for tips on solving the first and last issues.

RSH Feed Heavly inspired by Sam's python scraper for Keith's blog, here's an RSS feed for Keith's Read See Hear blog. FWIW, The python code weighs in at half as many lines of code as my C# version.

RSH Hey Keith, can you fix your RSH blog, so its not served with a content-type of application/octet-stream.

Radio vs Syndirella Sam has some observations on RSS aggregators. I mainly use the Radio aggregator which i like, my only request would be that it made more noise when it has problems with feeds, rather than the silently dropping then after so many errors.

browsers I've looked at various past versions of Mozilla and never been that impressed, but I installed 1.2.1 to tryout the new design, and I'm quite impressed, its snappy, and i haven't seen any rendering issues yet. I could become IE free, I've already dumped IE on the mac for Safari (the speed difference between the two is impressive). Back to Mozila though, is there anyway i can get the side button on my 5 button mouse to drive the back button like IE does ?
