The SD card market and Kingston

By Xaxio

I just read what I thought to be a most interesting article on the SD card market.

I think I’ll just buy a SanDisk instead of Kingston.

Image Captioning Online, Lists, and Tabular Data

By Xaxio

I just found a website here by Jukka “Yucca” Korpela. It says that a definition list is not a good option for captioning images on the internet.

I agree with this. The website also lists a few alternatives to using tables for captions. One thing that I think the author could have mentioned is using an unordered list to associate captions with images. For instance, a photo gallery is just a list of images. I agree that a caption does not define an image, which is what a definition list is for. An image defines a caption.

Holy Christ, Dan Fabulich

By Xaxio

This man, Dan Fabulich, spent TWO YEARS trying to get a patch checked in.

My god, man. You have the perseverance of a mountain. I don’t know who you are, but you have my respect.

In the bug dialogue, Jonas Sicking says “…I specifically requested not to have…”
Sicking, you are an intelligent person. And I like you; there is no doubt about that, though I don’t know you either. But…be nice.
