Taiwanese Bread
February 19, 2005I went back to the Merlion Asian Market to pick up some Taiwanese Bread.Read moreTaiwanese bakery bread tends to be light and airy, with a touch of sweetness. I have memories of visiting a bakery in a farmer’s market in Shih-lin near our house in Taipei. After enduring the pungent aroma of live chickens and ripening papaya, we’d stop in the bakery to pick up some treats.

LazyImageLayout Updates for WordPress 1.5
February 19, 2005» About Lazy Image Layout » How to Use » Troubleshooting » Download! (currently 0.36)Read moreWith the release of WordPress 1.5 has come a smattering of reported compatibility problems with LazyImageLayout, aka LZIL. Adding them as I find out about them.
- Possible conflict with default template stylesheet. Renamed css classes for a tags to be more LZIL specific (fixed in 0.33)
I’ve just migrated to 1.5, and have noticed some of the reported problems with LZIL if you are using a custom theme based on your WordPress 1.2 layout. LZIL appears to work fine with the new WordPress 1.5 themes otherwise.
It turns out that the default WP 1.5 style defines the
img
tag to have a max-width of 100%, which is causing the LZIL img tag definitions to fill into a weird space. (fixed in 0.34)I just learned that WordPress treats syndicated excerpts differently than full posts. Excerpts are plain text, and posts are wrapped in [CDATA[ … ]] delimiters. The upshot is that for full posts, you CAN have HTML markup, which includes images. So I’ve experimentally modified LZIL to include images when posts are fully syndicated, and to strip ’em out when excerpted. (added in 0.35…experimental!)
Another issue with the WordPress 1.5 standard template: it apparently uses Excerpts instead of Full Text in some cases. I don’t get it, but I’ve modified LZIL to do this, as PHP-Markdown does as well. (added in 0.36)

If you’re using LZIL, drop me a line to let me know how it’s going…thanks! :-) - February 18, 2005

Visual Periodic Table
February 17, 2005A nifty online periodic table of the elements, from your friends at The Royal Society of Chemistry. What’s particularly neat about it is each element representation is a tiny piece of artwork, which triggers the desire to click them all. Twitch learning without the seizures!Read more
