Featured this on the cover (well, minus an H):

And this inside:

We could model the compounds in chocolate,
Trace the genomes in any bouquet,
Or offer a market assessment
Of the future of Valentine’s day

We could fill both your ears with the music of spheres,
And we would, if it helped us to say
That we love MIT with a passion
And we hope that you’ll join us some day.

Congratulations and welcome to MIT!

Is this typical in the US? Seems kinda odd. I liked it though! I’ve never received any Valentine’s anythings, even if identical ones were sent to a couple thousand other people. It was signed though.

There will, of course, now be at least two hits for this on Google…

AjaxLife updates will resume soonish, as soon as I get the backlog of schoolwork out of the way – although development will remain sluggish until mid-June or so, when I’m finished with all my exams and such. But IE6-in-corporate-environment users, I have not forgotten you! Stay tuned for fixes!

Oh, and I have a fancy new computer. Woohoo. Here’s a nice pair of screenshots:

Or, at least, here would be a nice pair of screenshots if WordPress 2.5′s upload facility wasn’t broken with calls to ctype_digit (which doesn’t exist) – what’s wrong with is_numeric (in fact, the patch to rectify the error just replaces all instances of ctype_digit with is_numeric – but I’m far too lazy to do that myself)?

Anyway. Blah blah blah. Exams suck, coursework moreso. Also, this is the first post with tags attached in a while.

You have attempted to access the following web page:

Access has been blocked because:

Since this file contains only prototype.js, scriptaculous and ExtJS, I haven’t a clue why it’s been blocked. It is annoying, however.

(and exactly on time, too)

It’s my birthday today. I’m 16 now. Yay!

On an unrelated note, I’m looking set for a £100 phone bill without having made any calls. Boo.

That said, I’m hanging around on MSN. MSN katharine@katharineberry.co.uk if you want to talk to me.

Oh, and if you’re wondering, I wrote this on my iPhone – WPhone doesn’t use much bandwidth, but writing posts takes time. And GPRS is faster.

Development: AjaxLife’s source has now been commented, at least to some degree. Client-side’s done, server is still to do. I have some nice things to add in the near future as well. Stability is a work-in-progress.

Stuff: A couple of days ago someone told me “Nobody would care if I called you Meredith.” – this may well be true, but it seems a somewhat random comment. In any case, it’s one of the few things from two days ago I actually remember, so I decided to put it down here.

Oh, and running WindLight on my laptop gives me the following highly encouraging message:

It still manages to run faster than the standard client anyway, so meh. (20 FPS instead of 12 – with “Low” settings. Or 12 with “medium” + local lights.

Oh, more stuff: TSL Profiles is back. I’m going to put up some help pages in the new future so people can work out how to use it.

Bye!
