Mozilla’s developer docs can be a goldmine. Some of the stuff they have implemented is quite silly, but fun. /* Go wild with the feed propaganda. */ body { cursor:url(http://www.feedicons.com/images/layout/feed-icon-12×12.gif),crosshair; } See what I mean?

Spam control: some choice words now blacklisted
*Public announcement:* Should anyone like to announce anything in the comments section about female breasts, in a colloquial manner, stay away from using the word “boobs”. I just blacklisted it.

Nitro: A Rails contender?

Interested Nitro neophytes can head over to [Oxyliquit](http://www.oxyliquit.de/), the Nitro Q&A website, …

Another upcoming geekdinner
Yeah, please do attend, Copenhagen geeks. It’ll be interesting. July 28. The wiki page for [Geekdinner 4](http://irl.toothlesstiger.net/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Copenhagengeekdinner4) tacitly asks for ideas for places to eat. There is going to be a theme for the dinner, I think it was something about finding one’s peers, how bloggers can strike up continuous “conversations of action”. Or somesuch. …
Copenhagen garden houses
I have recently been to two parties at “koloni-haver” here in Copenhagen. This is my account of the local colour these visits provided. Also, this is where I try to describe the Scandinavian idea of tending a garden in a club. A koloni-have (“colony garden”, a garden lot with a wee house, organized in a …
