Ok, I'm going to start making the switch to my new host tonight. Since it doesn't require any code to post to my weblog, that means that I can keep posting until I decide to move the database Anyway, if you notice anything funky over the next few days, it might be because of the switch. Time to dig.

Dwight wants a list of all CSS tags. Try the specs for CSS1 and CSS2. That's about everything there is. There's also this nifty CSS Reference Table from CNet, and you might as well check out The House of Style too. All of those links were on my programming page, waiting to be found

Cool, Dwight answered my question about Daynotes.org. He recommends checking out Daynotes.com too.

Awesome stuff regarding some new stuff from Microsoft from John Robb yesterday, particularly this article from PC Format, Microsoft Homestation.

"Microsoft is working on a top-secret home entertainment device code-named HomeStation. The PC/Xbox hybrid will run a version of Windows to form a home entertainment hub. The device will finally turn the idea of digital convergence into a living room reality. Following in the footsteps of the PC-influenced Xbox, the device is likely to be a non-upgradeable sealed unit, with a system board based on nVIDIA's nForce, boasting GeForce graphics and Dolby Digital sound. HomeStation will come equipped for an array of online and offline activities: a sizeable hard drive, broadband connection and compression technology based on Windows Media Player 8 - included with Windows XP - all point to a video-on-demand role."

"Sources say a Microsoft .NET server will dish out movies, music, messaging, games and TV programming - and with a stonking hard drive, it'll also double up as digital TV recorder (a la TiVo). In addition, it will wirelessly interface with portable devices such as digital cameras, PDAs, MP3 players and telephones using HomeRF or Bluetooth protocols. It may even manage home automation. ... Games-wise, it's anticipated HomeStation will play both PC and Xbox titles."

I read an article months ago (which unfortunately I didn't blog) quoting Steve Ballmer about how XBox was just the beginning. This seems like it is what he was talking about.

Damn, my site was just broken for I don't know how long (hopefully less than an hour). I'm wrestling with Vim until I become comfortable with it, and my coding has become really shitty while I'm concentrating on Vim rather than my code.

Oh, and I don't mean my logic... just stupid crap... like an extra parenthesis that caused a compile error that I didn't notice. In other words typographical errors, so this isn't just me being a shitty coder and blaming it on my editor.
