WordPress Favourites plugin

I came across a plugin for WordPress by Michele Finotto that allows you to highlight certain posts as "favourites".

A similar plugin was mentioned a while ago on Binary Bonsai, but was never released.

This one seems to work quite well, though. Thanks, Michele!

Why doesn’t Word behave like a MacOS X app?

When editing a document or text field in a MacOS X app, have you ever noticed that hitting the "up" arrow on the keyboard eventually takes you to the beginning of the document? e.g. if you're on the third line, it will go directly upwards twice, then the cursor will move to the very left of the first line.

Similarly, pressing the "down" key will move the cursor downwards, and eventually sit right after the last character.

I've found this to be the default behaviour for many MacOS X applications (and it's the default behaviour in Apple's text views), but for some ODD reason, Word 2004 does not behave in the same manner. It simply beeps. Argh… It's the little things that count.

(FYI, hitting command+up or command+down places the cursor in the expected position.)

“The Sly” Video Clip

The Cat Empire are releasing a new single, "The Sly", on Monday, and they've been nice enough to put the video clip up on the website, here. (Direct link.)

It's quite cool… Listening to the song, I can't help but jump around the room a bit!
