Bitten by bugs

So there I was, thinking that WordPress was really the most amazing piece of software. I was well and truly flying: I had uploaded 14 images, it had properly resized them.  I was writing a blog post including a number of styles, image treatments, and so forth, all in valid XHTML.

If this had been Drupal I would have been tearing my hair out 3 minutes in,  cursing that system’s developers and everyone who ever thought it was any good. But WordPress? Schlick schtuff: wow how I was  having fun.  I’d forgotten web publishing can be like this.  Whee! Look out world, here comes blogger Steeeeeeeeeeeve with his TITLE attribute set! Banzai!

Then my browser crashed.

Web browsers are such a blessing, and such a curse.  I don’t know if the Internet would be better off without them.

Temporary hockey fan

I don’t know how this happened, but I have most certainly become a hockey fan. I am sure it will be all over by Sunday, because if ever there was a dubious scam, it’s “professional” hockey.

My chosen venue is the Dizzy on Roncesvalles, the preferred hangout for the neighbourhood’s rowdy hosers.  Tip to the wise: if your girlfriend isn’t into hockey do not bring them along. You’ll both have a crappy time; compare and contrast:

Hockey fans, hockey haters
