My dad is one of those people. You probably know
a couple. They never watch commercials. Never. They switch between channels, often missing a lot of the show (unless they have PiP).
It annoys me. I miss so much of the show when I watch television with him. I also hate commercials. I’ll watch ‘em, but I [...]

Yesterday’s post? Also written on the 2nd.

The XML power of CSS
July 22, 2007Over at Tizag Tutorials, I
was fooling around with CSS and figured something out. It’s probably well-known, but CSS can allow you to declare your own tags.

Hiding your affiliate links, a take on a post from Cash Quests
July 7, 2007This post on CashQuests.com is about
methods on hiding your affiliate links through PHP and redirection. It doesn’t have a comment system, so I am commenting via my blog (ain’t that convenient?).

So, here’s your hidden link: <a href=”http://amazon.com/linky_affil.aspx?linky=foo-bar.com” onMouseover=”window.status(‘http://amazon.com’)”>
Easier than redirection, and faster too!
Just [...]
