30. November, 2002 - tinkering
- Last night I did some noodling with the design here. No major changes, but I made the things over on the right smaller so I could fit more over there. That lets me put the blogroll over there. Now a day with a little motivation and I'll put on times when those blogs were updated.
- Jamie Zawinski's Cheesegrater & Portalizer look like an easy way to RSS-ify sites that don't already do it. Heck, I might even be able to make an RSS feed here on Dave's Picks without too much work. [scripting]
- That Finder Thing is a critique of Mac OS X's Finder. It's kind of brutal, as it should be. Mac OS X's Finder is one of the things that keeps me using Mac OS 9 on a regular basis. Yeah, there are ways to work around the Finders shortcomings (bugs) on X, but I'd rather just use a Finder that works. [zeldman]
- GeekMaids.Com are downsized techies who'll come and clean your computers. And your house. Sadly, none here in the middle of the country. [boing boing]
- Freedom To Tinker is a blog that was pointed out to me recently. A good article I found there was The Slashdot Effect which talks about how slashdot's moderation doesn't always catch bad information. That's part of the reason I quit reading slashdot a long time ago. Turning the moderation up to 5 still doesn't fix the signal-to-noise ratio, and I don't have the time to sort the good from the bad myself. [some guy]
- Homeopathy tested -- US$1M at stake Are the highly-dilute solutions of homeopathy of any value in medicine? The BBC program Horizon (like PBS's NOVA) decided to conduct their own scientific experiment (their first) to determine if homeopathy lived up to its claims. The result? Read the article. Skeptic James Randi was there to observe and offers more details in his weekly commentary. [Reed, via Colby Cosh]
- Did I mention I was Giving away a camera? I know it's a holiday weekend, but the response-rate has been slower than I expected. I guess you're all spending a lot of time working on really good entries.
