FoxBoom!

So when you blog a photo from Flickr to WordPress, it publishes the post immediately. Which sucks if you want to set a category or fix mangled HTML.

This article has the solution. Much love!

“Lightning 3” by draigefydd

Damned Cardiff, getting all the interesting weather…

Tomorrow is my third anniversary at Digita. Cool beans!

Since light moves at the speed of, well, light, we can look at distant objects and see them how they looked in the past. Look to the very ends of the visible Universe, and you see light that was emitted billions of years ago, shortly after the Big Bang.

It’s handy, but there’s a problem. That mysterious dark energy force, which is accelerating the expansion of the Universe is making the most distant galaxies move faster and faster away from us. Eventually, they will cross an event horizon and appear to be moving away from us faster than the speed of light. At this point, any light emitted by the galaxy will cease to reach us. Any galaxy that crosses this horizon will fade away from view, until its last photon reaches us. All galaxies will disappear from view forever. (“The End Of Everything”, Fraser Cain)

I knew the expansion of the Universe was accelerating but I never took it to that natural conclusion, and the rest of the article is just as cool.

Off to Cardiff again tomorrow!

“Teh Oceans??“, by Jon Eccleston.

I posted a bunch of photos from my commute to my Flickr gallery. Go and revel in my routine.

“I don’t even know if I can take credit for writing ‘Cliffs of Dover’ … it was just there for me one day … literally wrote in five minutes … kind of a gift from a higher place that all of us are eligible for. We just have to listen for it and be available to receive it.” (Eric Johnson)

OMG I totally love Guitar Hero III.

“I need to get some rice in.”

“Ricin?!

“…no, rice in.”

You know what sucks about keeping a calendar?

On my iPhone, I prefer the native calendar application to the Google Calendar web application. On my laptop, I prefer the Google Calendar web application to iCal. I want to be able to create and edit events on the iPhone application when I’m on there, and in Google Calendar when I’m not. On top of that, I need my calendar to be published online so I can import it into my work calendar in the office, and so my housemate can see it.

So far, I’ve had to ditch Google Calendar, and just sync my iPhone with iCal, and have iCal automatically upload my calendar to a private server so my housemate and work can get to it. The problem is, I need to remember to open iCal every time I sync my iPhone, otherwise changes I’ve made on it don’t get uploaded immediately.

This is too much hassle. Like, way too much.

I’ve downloaded the trial version of BusyMac. I’m hoping to be able to use the iPhone native calendar and Google Calendar together, depending on where I’m logged in, use Google Calendar as the public version, and publish my calendar on my LAN via Bonjour.

Yep, that’s nice and simple… kinda. If it works!

My friends are taking so much more awesome photos than I am lately.

On the iPhone’s calendar, a ‘dot’ on a day means there’s an event, right?

I’ve got an all-day event starting on March 28 and ending on April 3, but there’s a dot on April 4 too. If I move the end date back, the dot moves back… but there’s always a dot on the day after the event ends.

This isn’t right… right?

The last time I reported a bug to Apple, it turned out that I just misunderstood how the thing worked. I don’t want to make a boob of myself again, so I’ll ask you guys first.

Posting for Terrana!

“Double Rainbow“, by Jon Eccleston.

There was a double rainbow outside work yesterday. See?

If you’ve played Portal, “A Day in the Life of a Turret” is awesome!

Christopher Lloyd plays Doc Brown one more time in the music video for O’Neal “Pump Yo Fists In Da Air” McKnight’s “Check Your Coat”.

I’m sorry, yes, it’s quite awful.

Cardboard Tron!
