Kosso. Flash. iPhone. Those three words go together brilliantly, methinks. Enjoying Oz, Mr Kosso? Reply on that Twitter thing. Smile and a wink 2007-07-09T03:17:37ZUntitled entry permalink

Blog now at tommorris.org 2007-07-09T02:54:24ZTitled entry permalink

Rather impulsively and ego-centrically, I have added 'tommorris.org' to my arsenal of domains. I was finding the nine syllable 'tom.opiumfield.com' a bit of a mouthful in crowded parties and the such, so think almost halving the number of syllables may make it a bit easier for users.

It is also to help my 'personal brand', which is very important in this Web 1.9999-recurring era. Psychopathic RDF/semantic web nonsense and slagging off Jerry Falwell is an integral part of my personal brand, and having a vanity domain name is part of that proud tradition.

Don't worry though. Marketing-speak aside, the RSS is redirected, and all the permalinks will continue working for as long as I send my hosting company and domain registrar money (keep that whole £1 = $2 thing going, and that'll be forever). My permalinks are deliberately permanent - blogs.opml.org/tommorris, tom.opiumfield.com and tommorris.org aren't going away, but tommorris.org is now the definitive version.

I'd like to 'redirect' my OpenID. I can login to a few sites with the new URL (the GetSemantic wiki (running it helps), Dopplr and ma.gnolia).

All the other internal links to tom.opiumfield.com will become tommorris.org links in the next 24 hours, as I wake up and move them over. That means the secret little podcast and all sorts of other stuff.

CWM Tutorial: early beta 2007-07-09T21:15:32ZTitled entry permalink

I've put up an early beta of my CWM Tutorial.

It'd be great to see what you think. I need to flesh out the XSLT section further with more example code.

A PSP tip 2007-07-09T22:32:56ZTitled entry permalink

If you are using SmartyPants, the fancy typography library, scan for the PSP user agent string - "Mozilla/4.0 (PSP (PlayStation Portable); 2.00)" - and switch SmartyPants off if it's there.

Why do this? Well, every time SmartyPants replaces content, the PSP renders it quite oddly, adding space after it. All your apostrophes end up looking like you've typed a space after them.

If you take a look at the links I've posted to del.icio.us today (below this post, for your convenience!), you'll find some guides on how to design for the PSP. Since people are hacking around to get their stuff working on the iPhone, why not fix the PSP and other mobile devices at the same time?

I am a , an , like to code in and noodle about with and the . I also have a BA in philosophy from London, and am studying for an MA. My philosophical interests are in Victorian-era German philosophy, Kierkegaard, Robert Nozick, hermeneutics and current approaches to the demarcation problem in the philosophy of science. Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.

I also write for the Citizendium, an online encyclopedia project. If you know about stuff, you should join in.
