Sorry ’bout the title. It’s Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia Awareness Day again. I haven’t done anything this year to raise awareness, except I’ve tried to sum up Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia in 140 characters on Twitter.
Natalie left a comment on my post from two years ago, and told me about the videos she’s been making on Youtube. I particularly thought this one appropriate:
P.S. Also - Happy Birthday mum.
Oddly named Cabel’s Blog LOL has a fancy-pants (a technical term apparently) javascripty image zooming tool called FancyZoom. I’ve installed it for this post, but if it ain’t working go here. It’s very simple to set up, and once it’s done, if you link to an image (via thumbnail or text link) the image will pop out of the page when visitors click it. Check it:
Or from this text link.
It’s pretty.

Lifehacker is always ready with a quick tip or a tutorial for seasoned professional IT people and newbies alike. I get asked a bit by Mac users at work (me being the defacto Mac expert in these parts) how to make Windows work on their shiny new Macbook. Today Lifehacker posted a straight forward tutorial on the subject, and as I’ve never had reason to do it myself, I defer to their expertise.
Just testing pdfmenot.com - a tool from the people behind bugmenot.com, retailmenot.com and cushycms.com. It lets you read a PDF in your browser without downloading it, and even embed a pdf in another page with a bit of javascript. Also trying out an alternative, vuzit.com.

I’ve linked to comics I’ve liked in the past, and have been meaning to do the same with this one for a while. Starslip Crisis is the cleverest web comic I read. Set in the year 3441, the crew of the Starship Fuseli take art and culture to the furthest reaches of the Galaxy.

CushyCMS - Take the work out of managing content via kwout
I’m researching what might be the best approach for creating a web page for a client with some limitations (i.e. html only hosting). Probably the most fantastic approach I’ve found so far is CushyCMS. CushyCMS lets you define editable areas in your plain HTML then lets your client edit a page’s content without touching the page itself.
