My participation in the book meme
proved to be a popular diversion for four of the five people I tagged:
Jack,
Steve,
Fred, and
Kat all
chose to play along. Only Josh managed to abstain. Who started
that thing? Anyone know?
I added a third lesson to Wheat’s GuitarBook (the red-headed step child of Wheat’s BassBook). Two more and we’ll complete the five patterns of the natural minor scale. After that I’ll cover minor pentatonic and blues before moving on to the major scale. Rock on.
The Louvre 360 is fun for a few minutes. It’s a series of Quicktime VR shots from, well, you know, the Louvre. It’s a fun for the art as for the visitors in their state of suspended animation.
I like Rafe’s blog quite a lot. I’ve been reading it for years. He’s a Java guy, but I don’t usually hold that against him, until he starts railing against PHP (especially when it’s actually PEAR that’s his problem). As someone who has set up Tomcat and managed to get it working, and [...]
The Google-powered search page is now rolling. Thanks to Josh for trouble shooting the weird layout issues (that’s getting to be a standard disclaimer around here). Based on a few test searches, I’m fairly amazed that Google seems to have already indexed the contents of the new database back-end.

It uses data from Google Maps and Virtual Earth (which probably means there’s a cease and desist order coming sometime soon). This app is a fine example of the kinds of things that can be built–and will [...]
Things might be a little iffy right now. I am rolling out a new design at wheatdesign.com.
[Later:] Okay. Things seem to be shaping up. I have done my best to write redirects for most of the old content. Some things have not been merged into the new design yet. [...]
One of the perks of running an off-the-beaten-path weblog system is that you’re less suceptible to comment span. Well, they have found me. In fact, for some reason, they keep hitting this post. So I’m disabled comments until I can migrate the latest, greatest wB, which has a feature that locks comments [...]
I got seven out of ten on the Programming Language Inventor or Serial Killer? (warning: audio) at malevole.com (home of the cool Text Generator). How did you do? Post your score…
Poking around malevole.com led me to Hairstyle Runner, which is also fun and considerably less creepy.
