Life is good, for the most part. And as a technology enthusiast, there are many
new and cool things to see online. For example, there’s the new
Schools site, part of the Vaya project which
helps Israeli schools use Linux; this site uses the up-and-coming
Lahak CMS, built on the Django framework,
and looks very promising to the eyes of the bidi-lingual webmaster.
However, some things just plain suck. One of them is myspace; today, in an
attempt to make it more legible, I found that My Band’s
Page implements all of its styling changes
by a “style” tag hidden within the “Members” text block. Myspace doesn’t filter
this out - nor does it provide any other means of changing the styling. This,
combined with myspace’s horrid administration interface, makes editing
incredible unwieldy. I’m considering opening another Wordpress site for the
band here on this server…
