I’ve updated the instructions and the stylesheet for the
ad blocking with CSS entry. The new and improved stylesheet incorporates the excellent wildcards found at the
Mozilla Firebird page, hides form
reset buttons (which are responsible for more than a few curses and scowls from being mistaken for
submit), and improves the iframe and flash filters.
The other site-related nugget: what the heck is going on with the comments on the
Dean Kamen Profile page? This rather uninspired article (that I wrote a couple of years ago when I worked at Sympatico) seems to consistently get more comments than any other post on this site.
The strangest thing is, people seem to think that they’re communicating with Dean Kamen himself. One such person wrote:
“Dear Mr. Kamen, I heard about you from 60 minutes II with Dan Rather. I must say to you that I was highly overwhelmed.”
People are strange.
(
Edit: That explains a lot: the page in question is #1 at Google for
dean kamen profile.)
Mr. Kamen, (just kidding)
I actually have a few posts on my site that have become like little roadside shrines. I reported the news a few years ago that Big Country singer Stuart Adamson had died, and I have accumulated dozens of very heartfelt tributes to the man and his music. The other post that's like flypaper for freaks is the one where I rant about how I hate cell phones. That one has dozens of responses, too. Strange...but sort of cool, too.
