So I learned something new today. I've had this blog at http://robert.arlesnet.com for quite a while, but also had a site I never updated at http://www.arlesnet.com. I had finally decided it made more sense to have all "arlesnet.com" visitors end up at my blog rather than some unmaintained site. I put the code below in the .htaccess file at arlesnet.com. The actual directory location will vary per server, but is often something like a public_html or www directory.

So, I've written a small bit of PHP to pull RSS feeds. Not at all monumental, but I've written a bit, and taken some notes required for site setup (pear installs of XML stuff) My goal is still to create a widget that will work on iGoogle, and be configurable. If nothing else, at least I'll get some more programming familiarity out of this. After all, I don't know who you are and couldn't possibly care what you get out of this. Well, unless I'm reading this.

AutoHotkey comes to my aid, again. I recently came to realize I had a need to eject my iPod at 9:00am every day. There are two parts to this problem. You need a way to check the time, on some interval. And you need a way to tell windows to do the eject. While this is not terribley complicated, there is one catch. AutoHotkeys "eject" command only works on CD/DVD drives. The help file does have an example bit of code that does the job, though. Click below to read on... (By the way, I noticed a link to this sitepointing to my other AutoHotkey entry. Autohotkey.blogspot.com appears to be starting up a collection of pointers to useful scripts)

I find it pretty amazing how many of the Top 500 are running some form of Linux.  I guess I still have a hard time imagining a supercomputer being something other than "Cray-like"  The link below takes you to the stats page showing the breakout of the Top 500 by OS Family.  It's really easy to use the selections on the right of their page to see many more interesting statistics.  I'm just disappointed that they don't show how many run Firefox as opposed to Internet Explorer, but I'll bet you can figure it out when you see how few Windows systems are in the list :)

OK, so this is not the sort of thing I'd normally post, but I really liked some of these pictures.  My wife hasn't had a look yet, but I bet, as a woman who has been through the stress of a wedding, she'll laugh about these.  They're not your "normal" wedding photos.
