Heilemann’s Rolling Archives 
9 Comments
This weekend, it seems, Michael “Binary Bonsai” Heilemann has enabled what could be called “Rolling Archives” on his website. The result is what I think is the best use of AJAX for a weblog yet. To see it, go to his website, scroll to the bottom, and click the left arrow below the “Archives” header.
It’s a relevant, very useful and immediately “pick-up-able” tool for viewing the archives. Go on: prove me wrong.

At Titoonic, we wish you all (except the brats!) a merry one.
The Da Vinci Code 11 Comments
My sister gave me The Da Vinci Code a while back. I’d say it was before the hype really got hold and as such I simply enjoyed the book, immensely. The book is not ground-breaking by any means, but it’s a great action-adventure and there are some good plot twists to rattle your brain.
Now the trailer for the upcoming movie-version by Ron Howard is here. The film stars the likes of Tom Hanks, Audrey Tatou, and Paul Bettany. While I’ve never been a fan of neither Tom Hanks or Ron Howard, the film looks pretty true to the book (which already seemed like a film script anyway).
Yet, the book discusses some fairly sensitive aspects of the christian church and the foundation of Christianity; if the film will truly be true to the book, it’s a fair bet it’ll generate some outrage in much the opposite way the Passion of the Christ did.
What are your thoughts? Have you read the book?
A Clipboard Manager for Windows? 16 Comments
Along with “Paste”, “Copy” is one of the keyboard shortcuts I use the most. I find myself sometimes re-using the same lines of code or CSS, and pasting them in a notepad document for quick access.
There has to be a better way. I know Office has tried (and failed as far as I know), to create a clipboard manager that allowed you to store and retrieve several items. Now I’m looking for something that’s easy to use, and works globally in Windows. Your advice is welcome.
Update: CLCL does everything I need! My warmest recommendations. I use ALT + V as my manager shortcut.
Bloodtype B-Positive 15 Comments
I gave blood at my local bloodbank yesterday. It was a tiny prickle that yielded half a litre of blood. It turns out I’m B-positive, which is 8% of the population. As I looked at the sheet of percentages it hit me that people shouldn’t stay away from the blood-bank thinking that their bloodtype is common and therefore unnecessary: it just means the same percentage will need that particular bloodtype.
Have you ever given blood? Why? Why not?
Serenity Mini-Review 13 Comments
Reviews are spoilerfree but beware of comments.
I saw Joss Whedon’s Serenity yesterday. I didn’t intend to see the movie, quite simply because the TV Series never caught my attention and the title sounds like a chick flick.
And those are the only two problems this movie has.
Serenity is everything Star Wars never was, and never could be. It’s a hugely impressive space opera that manages to cram in love stories, epic space battles, strange markets and hover-cars, while at the same time paying tribute to Mad Max, Blade Runner and even Star Wars. All in some two hours.
Here’s my six stars, and sometime next year: my bucks for buying the Firefly DVD set.
Edit Comments for Wordpress 7 Comments
Having just finished a comment over on the Binary Bonsai, I noticed a new icon pop up. It looked remarkably like an “Edit” icon.
And what do I discover? It is! A clever gent called Andrew has written a Wordpress plugin that allows you to edit your comments for 30 minutes after posting it. Bloodly brilliant! I cannot wait for the kinks to be worked out of this one. I’ve wanted it for so long.
