Well, I bought into the hype. I paid a total of £1.45 for the new Radiohead album download. The 45p is for the processing fee — I’ll leave you to figure out how much I opted to pay for the album.
Not since ‘Kid A’ have I been so disappointed by Radiohead. Perhaps in time one or two tracks my grow on me. Not very likely though.
Now that I’ve finished the tutorials on Total Training Flex 2 Rich Internet Applications, I suppose I really should start applying my new-found knowledge.
Watch this space — or more probably, watch this space!
Problem is, I’m addicted to tutorials and have now moved on to the Ruby on Rails tutorials on Lynda.com. 
The other day I wrote a very simple script which assigns the ALT TEXT attribute of images to the TITLE attribute, so the behaviour is identical in both Internet Explorer and Firefox.
Run this script after the document has loaded:
function altTextAsTitles() {
// assigns value of image alt text as title text for Firefox
if(document.images) {
var images = document.getElementsByTagName('img');
for(var i = 0; i < images.length; i++) {
if(images[i].alt) {
images[i].title = images[i].alt;
}
}
}
}
Despite a lackluster Apple Expo this year, I always manage to have a fine time in Paris. My Flickr photostream will be tres Parisian over the days to come…
I’m very excited that a design I submitted to Threadless.com has been accepted and is now ‘up for voting’. Over the next seven days, people can rate my submission from 1-5 (five being best, and what I’d kindly ask all of you to vote) and an optional tickbox to indicate that you’d buy it — no obligation mind you!
Check it out — you may recognise it from my Flickr photostream:
My most popular image on Flickr is a scan of a photograph taken back in the mid-90s. It features my cat Jack sitting rather casually in the bathroom sink.
Flickr has a love/hate relationship with cat pictures. So much so that they’ve had to factor in special calculations of the ‘Interestingness’ algorhythm to downplay the interestingness of cat pictures. So I removed all the cat-related tags and removed the photo from cat-related pools, then overnight it rose from #295 to #2. A few comments later, it rose to #1.
The date of the #1 spot is the date the photo was originally uploaded: 15 May, 2005.
The BT (AKA Post Office) Tower against last night’s sunset — resembling a space satellite against the surface of Jupiter.
