GTI Cornish Taekwondo Open Championships

12:00 am in Martial Arts by Gaz

Made a weekend out of the Cornish again this year; spent yesterday at my folks’ in Brixham (and snuck off for a sly beer or three in the evening); and then drove the last leg to Bodmin on Sunday morning. Now that I’ve received my Referees certification, I can enjoy competing again without stressing about being a certified ref to qualify for my next grading :-D And what better way to ease myself back into competition than at the Cornish, which is hard to get to and not that well attended.

Drop Shadows

Found this cool trick at alistapart.com, which uses a little css magic to add dropshadows to images. You can see it in action in my PhotoAlbum.

New Host

The move of this site to its new tkd.kicks-ass.net domain is all but complete :-)

Although it’s a pain for you guys to update all your bookmarks and the like, since I’m hosting the site myself now I can build in some more interactivity. I also want to be able to use it as a portal for development that I do, but more about that shortly. So far (and for the next few days at least) I have the site on my laptop, which means connectivity can be a little sporadic if I move out of wireless range f’rinstance. I have the server hardware to hand, but I’ve got to install the OS and transfer the site content again before my laptop is out of the loop.

All of the content from oranda is here, plus a whole bunch of new stuff, with more to come. Currently, you can read most of the original content on WebWiki:WelcomePage, though I have yet to check all the links are still good. Everything I add to the site by hand is still composed in emacs, and published through emacs-wiki, though there are some extra bits I’ve written which I’ll release soon.

The former MyJournal is now served by Blosxom, so the categorisation is much better and you can add comments to these entries :-) I’m just polishing emacs-wiki-blosxom.el which lets me create the content in emacs-wiki, and publish Blosxom stories for the blosxom.cgi to serve.

The first entirely new feature serves most of the code I am working with through ViewARCH, which is in turn hooked up to an http arch archive. I’ll write some more about arch soon, but in the mean time look here.

The next thing I want to add is some sort of issue tracking web service, preferably in Python, since a good part of my day job will benefit from improving my proficiency in python.
