So, something truly epic happened this week… If you read reddit, you know what I’m talking about. Yes, the epic thread. It truly is epic. Read it and see if you can make it to the end. When I first came across it, I was on the floor laughing.
Speaking of reddit. I took Digg off my speed dial. Yep, it’s about damn time. All of you should know by now that I am an avid Opera user, and therefore have the nifty speed dial feature. Right now my speed dial sites are: Facebook, What.cd, Last.fm, Benign Thoughts, Netvibes, Reddit, Netflix, Google Reader, and Benign Thoughts Mail (branded gmail. Google manages my Benign Thoughts email. It’s nice). Usually I typed Benign Thoughts in my address bar, but since I now exclusively visit Reddit (it gets all news like four days before digg anyway), I replaced Digg with BT. Maybe it’ll force me to post more often, I dunno.
So my site was not XHTML 1.1 for a little bit. Yeah, it was invalid. Some pages around are still invalid, simply because they’re old. I just kind of realized this, but I’ve had this site since November 2002. It’s moved domains and blog software for quite a while (earlier posts had no titles, and that drives my title image plugin insane). I was actually *just* looking on my Quotes page (which is still around, believe it or not) and reading old AIM and IRC and Yahoo! convos I once had. It’s amazing that i still keep in contact with Bobby and some other people after all these years. Pretty insane.
But yeah, about XHTML 1.1. Turns out my WoW script that turns links that link to WoWhead stuff different colors isn’t compatible by default. I had to modify the plugin a bit to fix it. Oh well, no big deal. Still, though, something broke the mime type, not sure what. Opera’s detecting it fine, but the W3 validator isn’t. Go figure. Also, quick site change. I never actually agnowledged the ads. They’re a futile attempt to make some money back from the site. I also changed the search bar to a google sitesearch. It’s nice because it shows me what people are interested in from BT and makes me money too. Plus it’s nicer than Wordpress’s search. Site integration sucks though, maybe I’ll fix it, but it doesn’t really bother me so yeah.
Speaking of Opera, Opera 9.5 has been out for a week. Go get it. It blows Firefox 3 out of the water and isn’t even a major release. Opera 10, here we come (:
So uh, I’m done. It’s 04:30, and therefore time for me to sleep. Goodnight all. Well, good morning.
