Tech question
I know how to modify .htaccess to refer a html page to another html or php page, but how do I get a php single entry from WordPress to refer to another weblog, given that it’s using SQL?
Iran Is Judged 10 Years From Nuclear Bomb
Seems like Iran is further from nuclear weapons than we were led to believe, but then who knows?
Bush and Evolution
Kevin Drum is reminding some of those on the right about Bush’s views on evolution and creationism – apparently some of them forgot.
Actually, what bugged me most about this whole affair was reading the faux outrage from Bush’s conservative supporters in the blogosphere, as if they had no idea he felt this way before this week. Give it a rest, guys. Bush thinks creationism sounds great, Tom DeLay thinks the teaching of evolution was responsible for the Columbine shootings, and Bill Frist — a medical doctor! — is so scared of the Christian right that last December on “This Week” he hemmed and hawed and fidgeted like a naughty schoolchild while repeatedly declining to say whether he thought HIV-AIDS could be transmitted through tears or sweat.
The venerable Dan Drezner also weighs in, I agree with him.
NatWest issues cash card to Dick Head
God alone knows what NatWest customer Chris Lancaster has done to offend the bank’s card issuing department, but it recently sent him a new cash card on which he is gloriously identified as “Dick Head”.
Or rather, his new title in full is Mr C Lancaster Dick Head, prompting the 18-year-old Essex man to lament to UK tabloid the Sun: “I know I’ve been overdrawn a few times and got a few £30 charges but I’ve done nothing to deserve this.”
Yahoo to Launch Blog Ad Network
Yahoo is really starting to pull out the stops with Google. This new network should see a rapid takeup by bloggers, and perhaps generate some competition leader to higher revenue.
One blog created 'every second'
With all these new blogs, will there be the readership to support them, or do bloggers care whether they have readers or not?
In its latest State of the Blogosphere report, it said the number of blogs it was tracking now stood at more than 14.2m blogs, up from 7.8m in March.
It suggests, on average, the number of blogs is doubling every five months.
Ultimately what % of people who use the Internet regularly will become online diarists?
