Flying Cars and other things we’ll never have.

We all want our flying cars, right?

You aren’t going to get them.

Teleporters?

You won’t be seeing those either.

Would you like to know why?

Easy, first guy to crash his flying car and get killed, his family sues the car makers for billions. No more flying cars.

First transporter accident, suit gets file, billions.

Lawsuits over anything and everything prevent technological development.

I need a job.

Dammit, I want a paycheck!

I must put something here.

But, I know not what.

Boredom Makes for Coding

He wanted to write a post in binary.

I was bored, wrote an 11 line conversion script.

Here’s the result.

Content Management and MIME Types

Want to serve your blog as xhtml 1.1 properly (application/xhtml+xml), but your page keeps showing as text/html?

I’m going to present a method to change this properly, and provide your site with the changes you want, while being transparent to browsers that don’t support the method.

I’m going to provide the instructions for modifying a kubrick-based template, but this code should be similar pretty much anywhere, just it’s location may change.

First, there should be some code appearing like this in your header.php file.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type');
?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />

Now, this tells the browser that your page is using the XHTML 1.0 Transitional, and it is using text/html, by default.

We, of course, want to use XHTML 1.1, because, well, we’re better than that :-D

I’m going to give you the code on the next page that you will be using.

I’m Bored.

Thusly, of course, being a blogger, I most post this ever-so-interesting fact.

Other Things

I got bored, added a plugin for audioscrobbler data on my sidebar… if you look down, you should see something like…

This is normal, and shows the last 10 tracks I’ve played in foobar.

Plugin to the wall

Well, recently, I installed the PHP Exec plugin, so I could actually run php code inside my posts…

But, upon loading the plugin, which, at the time, was version 1.2, I found a bug where the code didn’t properly use the <?php starting tag, and would cause the code to not be executed properly.

One day after posting the fix to the site for the plugin, the plugin is updated and I even got a happy little link back.
