According to a recent consensus, Britain now has more Jedis than Jews, Buddhists or Sikhs:
Over 390,000 people wrote “Jedi” on their 2001 census form, more than those who registered their faith as Jewish, Buddhist or Sikh in the optional question on religion, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said on Thursday.
Scott Andrew has a nice article about XML Transformations with CSS and DOM. I’ve already added a stylesheet to one of my RSS files, but Andrew is much better at writing CSS (and handling font choice, margins, etc.) than I am.
My RSS file looks odd with Andrew’s sample stylesheet (because of all the unstyled bells and whistles of the RSS2 template I got off Mark Pilgrim), but I wonder if I can set it as an alternate style sheet, as per the W3C spec.
Testing… Nope, doesn’t work. In Mozilla, which has a menu option for switching alternate style sheets, it doesn’t show up, and in IE, it picks up the 2nd style sheet (the alternate) and uses it.

I showed these screenshots to some colleagues of mine in the industry, and while the reception was generally warm, a few said that leak-free garbage collection was too hard for some users. I find this extremely difficult to believe, but, if necessary, we could introduce a user-friendly assistant much like Microsoft Office’s clippy. I propose Reggie the Memory Register to aid in spotting and fixing leaks.
ROTFLOL!
My weblog’s front page looks funny. Maybe not enough text in the left column? Maybe this entry will fix that.
BTW, I upgraded to Movable Type 2.6. Don’t notice anything radically new, hope nothing’s broken.
Assaf Hershko recommended the Tapuz broadband and networking forum as a good source of info on ADSL and home networking.
Right now, I have my girlfriend’s PC hooked up to mine, and mine hooked up to an ADSL modem. There still are some bugs, but it seems to be working.
Yes, I did this before, and undid everything when I couldn’t get it to work smoothly. But I’m giving it another try…
