I’m officially middle aged now as today I wore novelty socks bought for me by my wife.
However, they were Welsh Dragon socks and Wales did beat Scotland today (they seemed to be overpowering the Scots in the parts I saw, though the last Scottish try looked like a classic from what I saw on the news) so I see a new superstition in the forming.

sharikkamur and ignoring my obvious lack of at least one vital qualification:-
Maeve
Indeed, you are 70% erudite, 87% sensual, 70% martial, and 62% saturnine. Maeve was once thought of as a historical queen but is now considered part of the Celtic mythology. She is usually depicted as either a winged sprite, a beautiful elf, or a human woman dressed in only the finest robes.
She was said to carry two tree-dwelling creatures on either of her shoulders; the squirrel and the raven, resembling her closeness to nature and mysticism. She also frequented the area which was said to hold the entrance to the Otherworld, which is now called the Cave of the Cats.
Maeve is known for an insatiable sexual appetite and boasting openly of sleeping with thirty men in one day. Once she meets the hero Fergus Mac Roich, ‘Son of Great Horse’ who himself has a sexual appetite large enough to satisfy her, the tale says that ‘She used to know thirty men every day or go with Fergus once.’ So that’s good for her.
She is most famous as a protagonist in the story of the “Cattle Raid of Cooley”, which tells of another dispute between her and her husband, the Connaught chieftain Ailill, with whom she would constantly quarrel.
My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 21% on erudite You scored higher than 67% on sensual You scored higher than 84% on martial You scored higher than 56% on saturnine Link: The Mythological Goddess Test written by Nitsuki on Ok Cupid
70% erudition is only higher than 21% of other people? Too many smart folks taking this test…

I couldn’t decide between the option at the tie breaker question so here’s both my results.
You scored as CPO Galen Tyrol. You never wanted to be a glamorous Viper pilot. You are happy knowing that without you to fix their birds, they cannot fly. You fell in love with the wrong girl, but is that so wrong? Maybe, but you don’t really care.
You scored as Capt. Lee Adama (Apollo). You have spent your life trying to live up to and impress your Dad, shame he never seemed to notice. You are a stickler for the rules. But in matters of loyalty and honour you know when they have to be broken.
CPO Galen Tyrol 75% Capt. Lee Adama (Apollo) 75% Commander William Adama 56% Dr Gaius Baltar 56% President Laura Roslin 56% Col. Saul Tigh 44% Lt. Kara Thrace (Starbuck) 38% Lt. Sharon Valerii (Boomer) 38% Tom Zarek 31% Number 6 25% What New Battlestar Galactica character are you? created with QuizFarm.com

[Update] No, Lettice, they are not still alive.
blankUpgrade to Word Press 2.0.1 was fairly painless. Made a few changes at the same time
cheerfulReally, it’s just a test. Testing Word Press 2.0.1 and Live+Press 1.99.
[Update] Comments don’t seem to be synched, but otherwise it looks good from the front end. Back end I get a PHP error after every post/edit.
thoughtfulToday I managed to weasel my way out of a two and a half hour meeting on Monday with two suits from Andersen Consulting Accenture. I persuaded my boss that putting me into this meeting would be a very bad idea. As I came to the end of my diatribe against management consultants my nose started bleeding. Voodoo. Witchcraft. Those fiends are in league with dark forces.
The oldest Tyrannosauroid is in the news and it’s an odd one - feathered and crested and only 3m long.
Meanwhile a thread on TMP has led to QRF posting photos of some of their 15mm Try-to-survive-asaurus dinos and mammal like reptiles and Stormwalker (another Steve) showing us great work with the QRF Coelophysis and HLBS Co Compsagnathus.
What other prehistorics are available in 15mm? Irregular have some cavemen at least (what else comes in the 15mm Tusk scenario packs?) and some of the old Ral Partha figs seem closer to 15mm than anything else. Any others?

Opera 9, Tech Preview 2 is out and that’s what I call an interesting change log. Liking a lot of things - thumbnail previews when mousing over a tab; user interface exposure to whole bunch of stuff only previously available via .ini files; Widgets; BitTorrent…
One line of the change log did catch my eye: Several changes to the default margin and padding of legends and fieldsets.
This ties in directly to my suggestions on how to create Cross-browser unobtrusive fieldsets and legends and seems to screw Opera by making it apply both the Gecko and the IE/Safari solutions. So the legend is thrown out to the left. The best solution now would seem to be a basic line of code for Opera and Gecko, a negative margin for IE hidden behind a hack, and let Safari do whatever it wants. But more testing is needed.
I’ve also downloaded, via BitTorrent, a slightly naughty copy of Internet Explorer 7, Beta 2. Unlike Opera I’m not happy about installing a Microsoft beta product on my home PC, and as it’s not really a legit copy I’m also wary of installing it at work. I wonder what IT would say if I asked to install cracked beta software on a machine?
However, it does have a whole bunch of CSS improvments and changes (and no doubt some new bugs as well) and I’d like to get a head start of investigating what we’re going to need to change when IE7 goes public (I wouldn’t actually change one single line of code before then because the final release may differ from the beta). And of course, I bet IE7’s CSS changes will impact on my fieldsets and legends experiment as well. Still, better bumpy progress than stagnation.
