Gruesse von Der Affe - 23/08/2008 - 11:26 GMT - [Link]

I just realised why some of the links in that "Blogsam & Linksam" bar (which these days is nothing more than my Google Reader shared items) were coming up with "Autor unbekannt" under some of the entries. This server is obviously hosted in Germany and so when my script goes and grabs this feed, Google helpfully sets the default language to German. Simple solution: add "?hl=en" to the end of the request. Ich danke Ihnen.

About

This is LeSinge.org v3.0. It's on its sixth* server since I registered the domain name in November of 2000 and it has gone through several drastic facelifts in that time, usually prompted by some cataclysmic event like someone deleting a load of files they shouldn't, or a server being shut down. This is the maddest layout yet; I'm trying to fit the entire weblog (apart from diary archives and the gallery) into a single loading page using all sorts of PHP-generated DHTML jiggery-pokery. The idea is to make it more inviting to look around since there's no loading between "pages". It's still a work in progress (more a proof of concept than anything), so be patient!

I'm Tringlebert Zinglebars! Dave Whyte, an Irish CS graduate, German speaker, linguist and incredibly talented web developer. I'm originally from Fermoy but I now live in Newbridge with my wife Beth and our son. I'm currently working for these fine folks and enjoying it greatly.

"The Monkey"? Eh?

My nom de guerre comes from an old Eddie Izzard comedy sketch. I also like Calvin & Hobbes. I've cobbled together a searchable archive of the strips.
