New host!
Sep 1, ’08
3:39 PM
So I’ve moved hosting companies from Dreamhost to ANHosting. Dreamhost has a great hosting plan, but some general unreliability with my hosting left me somewhat unsatisfied. I’ve been patient with their ongoing issues, but decided that enough was enough and moved jeffbyrnes.net. I’ll be slowly migrating things after I see how everything goes with ANHosting, but so far, so good!

[Edit — I had posted this originally on 2008–5-21, but it seems I didn’t quite do it right, and the video never showed up. I’ve reposted it today, with the video intact]
A friend passed this along, and had to make a mention of it myself:

Burger King is never a good idea
A: Why do I sometimes think that Burger King is a good idea?
B: Burger King is never a good idea
A: Well, it has now become a part of me.
A: That’s right: they were filming one of their commercials, and the King raped me.

Resizing images via php … hawt

Just stumbled across this while updating my copy of Greased Lightbox, a fantastic GreaseMonkey script (for all you Firefox users out there.) It’s called Smart Image Resizer, and it’s a great piece of PHP that can resize images on the fly without modifying the original. Very very cool.

Ten Typographic Mistakes
Apr 19, ’08
7:38 PM
Great article on various typographical nuances that have slowly been left by the wayside, but should definitely be encouraged again! My favorite is the elipsis… you know?
Nobody cares…
Quite probably. But what you see above is just three periods, not a true ellipsis. Want a proper ellipsis? OK then… (In this font, three periods looks like this, much more tightly packed…)
THE FIX:
option-; types a proper ellipsis.

Seriously, science says first-borns are smarter:
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, April 12 (UPI) — First-born children usually are smarter than their siblings, a Dutch study indicates.
A study of 1,000 children whose IQs were monitored from the time they were adolescents until they were 18, suggests that siblings’ IQs are influenced by the order they are born, The Times of London reported.
The study, which appeared this week in the journal “Intelligence,” revealed that older siblings had higher IQs in a majority of cases.
This study reportedly is the most recent to indicate that children’s birth orders may strongly influence significant human characteristics, such as cancer risks, asthma, weight and even life span.
Scientists have also suggested birth order could affect which hand a child uses to write, sexual orientation and the number of people someone has sex with throughout their life.
