Everything I used to bore people on newsgroups and mailing lists with, now in one inconvenient place.
Anybody who has looked at a web site or user interface I’ve designed, or indeed at the way I dress, will realize that picking colours isn’t my forte. Normally I rely on finding a site or program whose theme I like and copying it wholesale.
I think I’ve found the answer: ColorMatch Remix. I wonder how it works?
Since I cut off comments on old entries (as I discussed in Rants and Revelations: In other news…), the number of comment spams has gone down from one or two a day to only one comment spam in 12 days.
I think I’m going to shove that command into a daily cron job.
Take that, you spamming bastards!
As seen in simonb: From the latest personality quiz:
You are an SEDF–Sober Emotional Destructive Follower. This makes you an evil genius. You are extremely focused and difficult to distract from your tasks. With luck, you have learned to channel your energies into improving your intellect, rather than destroying the weak and unsuspecting.
Your friends may find you remote and a hard nut to crack.

You are not to be messed with. You may explode.
Except for the bit about exploding, I don’t see it myself.

One of my favourite late spring/early summer activiites is watching the Perigrine Falcons on Kodak Office raise another clutch of babies. Well, that simple pleasure is just about over, as the young eyases are just about the fledge. They’ve been hopping all over the nesting area, and down to the “playpen” (the balcony) and back up. I’m sure any moment now one after the other will start flying around, although from past experience they will hang around the nest box for a few more weeks. But we’ll see less and less of them until finally we’ll see nothing.
