Yoz Grahame's Unresolvable Discrepancy

I came here to apologise and eat biscuits, and I'm all out of biscuits

Mmm, yummy

Posted: November 12th, 2004 | 5 Comments »

Those of you who are subscribed to my blog and frustrated by my wild inconsistency in output may be even more frustrated to learn that I have been blogging consistently for several months now, just not here. Of course, it’s easy to blog consistently when all you’re doing is saving a link and adding one occasionally-witty line of comment, which is why I’ve put so much more into my del.icio.us linkblog. Clicking on that link takes you to my full del.icio.us account, which may be rather more than you want, since I also use it just for things I want to bookmark for myself. Links that I specifically want other people to see – about a third of the total – go into my top tag, from where they are reflected to Haddock Linkblogs. So if you want a good linkblog from me, I’d suggest starting with top. One day, I may even get around to integrating into this site, if I can find the room in my hideously-crowded front-page layout.

(Other recommended tags, based purely on the amount I throw into them: perl, software, windows and funny.)

I’ve been a big fan of del.icio.us for a long time and have done occasional bits of hacking on it, such as my avar.icio.us posting interface (some bits of which have now found their way into Greg Sadetsky’s fabulous nutr.itio.us). Today, I wondered why nobody appeared to have done a Firefox search plugin. Twenty minutes later, here they are:

  • del.icio.us – your bookmarks
  • del.icio.us – all bookmarks

May all your links be yummy.

    Not bad.
    How about a (Firefox) plugin that knows which urls you’ve got bookmarked in del.icio.us, and filters Google’s search results to hide “unknown” urls? That would be fantastic.
    In the meantime this search plugin is going to see a lot of use I’m sure!

  • WebGL Inspector
    Lovely Firebug/Web Inspector-alike for WebGL, usable either as an extension (for the top WebGL-enabled browsers) or embedded JS. Under rapid development.
  • ge.tt
    Gorgeous hack: web-based file sharing service where the link to your file works while it's still uploading. Instant, super simple and free. (via DMM)
  • Async.js (Caolan McMahon)
    One of the many flow-control packages for Javascript, of which at least 3 are called async.js. This one has some really nice tricks, especially auto() which fires off function calls as soon as their dependencies are met.

    Really good explanations of several useful function and module patterns to use when building your own
  • News flash: Deadly terrorism existed before 9/11 - Ask the Pilot - Salon.com
    The quantity of air-travel-targeting terrorist attacks between 1985 and 1989 would be unthinkable today; yet the presented danger and precautions taken are far worse

    Despite American parents' increasing paranoia, Halloween may be the safest day of the year for kids. (via schneier)
  • becoming the alien: apartheid, racism and district 9 « a subtle knife
    Superb essay on District 9's relevance. "It confronts us with our complicity with racism, by making us identify with the perspective of the racist, inviting us to feel the revulsion of the xenophobe – and then pulling the carpet from under our feet." (via kevin marks)
  • Music Hack Day: The Uninterrupter - Andrew Shearer's Other Blog
    "For an increasing number of us, the same device we use to play music also handles email and GPS directions." The presented solutions are as brilliant as they are ludicrous. (via extensionfm blog)
