- Movable Type 4.2
Just a quick one for anyone using Movable Type who has yet to upgrade to version 4.2: Don’t. Despite more than two months of public beta testing I’d wait for the next round of bug fixes (I should have learned this by now).
- Links for Wednesday 20 August 2008
- Twitter / novelsin3lines
- I'm very much enjoying the 1906 French news summaries by Félix Fénéon (and not just because I wrote it up as an idea myself a while back). Lovely writing.
- Income Gap and Marginal Tax Rate 1917-2006 at Visualizing Economics
- Ouch. Difference in income for rich and poor in the US over the past century, compared to the tax rate.
- Newspapers and magazines - Digital National library of Serbia
- Scanned and browsable issues, from the avant-garde 'Zenit' to 'Advanced Beekeeping'. Awesome (especially if you read Serbian).
- BBC News | England | London | Smithfield market plans refused
- A couple of weeks old. Phew. I'm not against redevelopment if it's not going to be more glass offices and same-old shops.
- JPMorgan plans Europe HQ in Canary Wharf - International Herald Tribune
- Yay, they've ditched plans for their massive HQ on London Wall, which would have destroyed some of the public highwalks. (Three weeks old.)
- Scarytree Films - Here Comes Funky Kazoo
- My friend Mark's rather nice short film, in which I make a very brief and silent appearance.
- What to do now to improve the human race in the long term? | Ask Metafilter
- After reading 'Last and First Men' I've been wondering this, so I asked Metafilter.
- You're not helping | MetaTalk
- Oh, apparently I shouldn't have posted that (to me) fascinating question because it's too hypothetical. Shame. Seems more interesting than "How do I fix my Mac", etc.
- Foundation for the Future
- "Was established with the mission to increase and diffuse knowledge concerning the long-term future of humanity." Less long-term than Long Now is, but perhaps more focused?
