Advent Calendar
A poem from today’s Guardian Review by Rowan Williams:
Advent Calendar
He will come like last leaf’s fall.
One night when the November wind
has flayed the trees to bone, and earth
wakes choking on the mould,
the soft shroud’s folding.He will come like frost.
One morning when the shrinking earth
opens on mist, to find itself
arrested in the net
of alien, sword-set beauty.He will come like dark.
One evening when the bursting red
December sun draws up the sheet
and penny-masks its eye to yield
the star-snowed fields of sky.He will come, will come,
will come like crying in the night,
like blood, like breaking,
as the earth writhes to toss him free.
He will come like child.
WordPress and the Performancing Extension
WordPress and the Performancing Extension is a great tutorial for setting up Performancing to work with a custom WordPress install.
Currently my only real gripe is with the insertion of images, where to add an ‘alt’ tag one has to go into the raw HTML editor to add them in.
Extending FireFox
Have finally got round to installing the Performancing extension to FireFox, and it works a treat! Here’s a snapshot of me using it to write this post. It even drags in your categories and previous entries for you! I did at first find it a little irritating that the editor appears on every tab in your FireFox window, and not just the one you are commenting on, but it is simple enough to drag the editor down to a smaller size.
greasemonkey is another extension, one that allows you to add all sorts of scripts to make life easier. I’m sure most people are well aware of it already. However, the script I really wanted, the inline wikipedia viewer, doesn’t seem to work and just sticks on the loading messages. The page on the UserScripts site says it is broken too. Anyone have any ideas?
