Velocity is a Java centric template markup language/syntax, and the documentation for using it seems a little Google shy for some reason… so, here it is, for me as much as anyone: Velocity markup documentation.

…which you might find useful if you develop plugins with system requirements, like a particular version of PHP. This plugin is a simple proof of concept for a method of messaging the user when they activate a plugin.
Exclude Pages (my WordPress plugin which allows you to remove pages from site navigation) now handles child pages more gracefully. Previously, when you excluded a page any child page would drop down a level, taking it’s place… not what I wanted, and not something I’d noticed because I was only dealing with single level navigation when I wrote the plugin.

Everytime I need to do this I go into at least five minutes of Googling for a decent solution. The problem is that a lot of people don’t have access to the commandline, so the solutions all reference PHPMyAdmin which is, you know, OK, but I don’t use it or want to install it just to export some quick reports. Other solutions are similarly indirect.
I’ve had a problem for some time now: my cursors in Photoshop CS3 on OS X are invisible. I’ve no idea why, or how it happened, but it’s really awkward when you can’t see where your mask is going to start, or where you text cursor is going to blink into being.
The solution
After a lot of Googling I came across another person (maybe called Mark, from detective work in his Flickr stream) with a similar problem, which started me off to find a solution. So far the only way I’ve found of solving this is (and this is OS X specific):
- Quit Photoshop
- In Finder, Go to Folder: ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings/
- Delete, or move to another folder temporarily, this file:Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp
- Restart Photoshop and (hopefully) breathe a sigh of relief…
There must be a better way of doing it, and I still don’t know what triggered the problem, but at least the cursors are back. Cursors! I kiss you!
I’ve just felt sufficiently exercised to write to my MP, about the UK government charging for information they’ve collected with our (the UK taxpayers) money. For example, I’m doing a location based events search for Arts & Kids. The data underpinning this has been collected by OS and the Royal Mail, using tax payers money, and yet the charity is having to pay for it in order to provide a free service to UK citizens.

The first round of enhancing the site is complete: my Last.FM journal articles and del.icio.us bookmarks are now republished here.

Finally I get around to updating my site to use something more sophisticated than hand written HTML. It’s a start.
Things that were on the left are (probably) on the right now. Oh, apart from Dress-a-Doll which gets it’s own link above.
