Jan 2nd: A history of early Lego and the first sets they produced. The first Lego I played with was 725-3 LEGO Samsonite Town Plan, which my grandparents had bought in 1961. This was from the era when Samsonite distributed Lego in the Americas and when bricks were still made from cellulose acetate, before the switch to ABS.
Jan 2nd: WikiNav does some really nice visualizations of wiki navigation that I might adapt for WikiCamp
Jan 2nd: The story of the creation of the Tesco Clubcard, the first supermarket loyalty program, built in a time when the technology to do it didn't really exist.
Nov 8th: It’s really incredible what’s now possible with pure CSS.

If you use mod_rewrite
and you've started getting random errors in your logs that look like "rewritten query string contains control characters or spaces", it's because of a security patch that breaks using backrefs as query params if they contain spaces (and certain other special characters). For example:
RewriteRule ^foo/([^/]+)$ foo.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]
This will still work for foo/bar
but break for foo/bar%3Abaz
. You need to add the B
flag as follows:
RewriteRule ^foo/([^/]+)$ foo.php?page=$1 [L,QSA,B]
