emo is the new gay. 

when scarlett sings i hear cheesy organs. (and voice processing, voice processing, voice processing.)

but i like the general hymnic approach of the songs. 

MicrosUTF8!

Just for the record: Internet Explorer (7?) does not understand "UTF8" as character set encoding. It only knows "UTF-8". (Please mind the hyphen.)

Even jQuery's great cross-browser AJAX code will become dysfunctional in the explorer's of teh internetz otherwise.

The hard lesson learnt: Never underestimate the power of a micro-soft punctuation mark; it's killing you micro-softly.

Good night.

Update: Yeah yeah yeah, ranting about the universal incompetence in UTF-8 and then suddenly question marks everywhere here on blog.p3k.org - now you be a humble, loving piefke, will you?! 

i am so excited, exhausted.

antville 1.2 preview.

only a few miles left to go until it's getting serious.

'Charlie Rose' by Samuel Beckett (via very short list). 

this page looks like a pillock. 

helma 1.9

what more can i say than: it works! (os x 10.4)

here is how:

1. get helma2: svn co http://hopdev.helma.org/svn/helma/trunk/ helma2
2. get junit.jar and move it to /Developers/Java/Ant/lib
3. build helma2: ant jar
4. create the directory for jetty's output: mkdir logs
5. try the shell: java -cp lib -jar shell.jar
6. start the server: java -cp lib -jar server.jar ./web/app/
7. voilà: http://localhost:8080/test

i did this in approximately 10 minutes, after some brute trial and error how to correctly define the application path in the server.jar argument.

if a java stoopid (yours truly) can do this, you can do so, too! 

no country for old men.

whether you're far left , far right or farrr out: it's nice to quench your thirst together. 

WTF?
