Ada Lovelace <3s Geeky Women

So, today is a blogosphere event to promote our favourite geeky women in honour of Ada Lovelace - the world's first computer programmer. I wish the event well and hope that we can reclaim Ada from the offensive "honour" that is having the other Ada named after you.

Week off

So, I've had a week and a bit off work (back in on Monday), what have I done with it?

Site Blather

Whilst I'm ranting...

I'm running OS X Leopard. I did have it running a cron job to keep my site up to date (feeds and that malarky). Now it aint doing so. I've tried a plist for Launchd and I've recreated my crontab but it just don't want to work.

And whilst we're at it, I can't get Drupal to parse plurk RSS feeds. I know they work because it's getting through to Google Reader, but Drupal aint liking it (I've got plurk and twitter - still trying to decide which I prefer...).
