50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

give the propeller a spin

Here’s some more geeky webby goodness I’ve uncovered in the last few days.
Blogger users can easily create RSS feeds for their site using Rss-ify. It’s really cool. All you do is put some tags in your entry templates, generate a URL, and watch the fun.
(hat tip to Juan Cole, who is the first blogger I read to use this nifty application.)
For anyone wondering, I use NetNewswire Lite on my iBook (still in a coma, but hopefully coming back from the logic-board doctors at Apple this week), and AmphetaDesk on my Linux machine, though I’m giving Pears a try today.
Remember a few days ago when I was so excited to learn the magic use of the TITLE tag? Several readers e-mailed to let me know that I can build symbols using unicode, like < or > to show off my HTML . . . uh . . . “skills” . . . I guess . . . in a less-lame way.
<a href="http://www.homestarruner.com" title="seriously.">like this!</a>.
Many people ask me why I don’t use target="_blank" in my links. So many, in fact, that I really should add it to the FAQ. The answer is, “because it’s just as easy to right-click (or ctl-click, if you’re a machead) to open links in new windows, most browswers can be set to open links in background tabs or windows anyway, and I’m too lazy to type it into every link.”
The follow-up, of course, is, “Well, then why don’t you just put make "_blank" the base link?”
To which I reply, “Because I don’t want to. So there. Nyahh.”
Now, I am off to have left-over soup, and a slice of just-baked potato bread for lunch. \m/
