– SiteMeter News & Announcements
I was about to rant about this yesterday, but got too busy with other things to do so. SiteMeter, a service I use since 2001, surprised just about everyone (from what I read) yesterday with a sudden release of a new, Flex-based site. The thing was slow as hell and...

Simple page re-direct for Textpattern
One tricky thing about sections and articles in TXP is that of no-page/article display when one hits a section main page. It is actually logical, but not always useful.

Thanks to Mutt for the link. Now we have science finally confirm what we knew all along :)

Do yourself and the surrounding a favour if you are to listen to this, and use headphones. It will be, otherwise, difficult to hear the pretty impressive classical (as in classical music) form of the riff. I don’t need to listen to this anymore as my brain is playing it on rotation since yesterday.

Funny they sorted me out as “Your favourite type of art is Impressionism.” and “In the personality profile you had a high intellectualism score, which suggests you like to think about abstract ideas and have a creative imagination.”
Impressionism seems to run in the family though frankly, I like Flemish art more. Seems like still my mind has been conditioned on Monet and...
