			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>This post was originally scheduled for Tue 15th but it seems to be raining spam out there in internet land.</strong></p>
<p>By my estimates, today will see our 1,000th spam comment on this glorious website, so I thought I&#8217;d share a few words to mark the occasion&#8230;</p>
<p>Ahem&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-262"></span></p>
<p>Kindly f*ck off!</p>
<p>Sorry folks, I have very short patience for even commercial advertising, but comment spam is possibly the most annoying thing I&#8217;ve ever encountered (except Quentin Tarantino of course). So I want to finally set the record straight&#8230;</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t want to rent SEO services from a company who don&#8217;t have real email addresses, I don&#8217;t want to buy cheap pharmaceuticals online, I&#8217;m quite happy with the size of my penis, the quotes from books would be marginally interesting if I didn&#8217;t get each one three times, I&#8217;m not interested in seeing 40 links to spammy and virus infested sites, I don&#8217;t want to confirm my bank account details with you, I can&#8217;t help you transfer international funds, I don&#8217;t want a job receiving money, I&#8217;m not going to email you for pictures of naked celebrities and that massive post in Russian doesn&#8217;t even make sense in Russian.</p>
<p>&#8230; phew, did I miss anyone? Oh well.</p>
<p>I wonder if spammers get this much spam.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-232" title="Google Doc MD Logo" src="http://www.planet-nifty.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Google-Doc-MD-Logo-300x69.jpg" alt="Google Doc M.D. Logo" width="300" height="69" />You probably already know, dear reader, all about Google Docs &#8211; the free online office software suite complete with loads of free online storage, document versioning and all that cool stuff. But did you know about the other google docs that never made it to public beta? Introducing the long lost cousin; Google Doc M.D. &#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-227"></span></p>
<p>Far from being an office software replacement, the first revision of Google Docs, was actually referred to as Google Doc. M.D. and was a comprehensive medical diagnosis search engine. Google Docs M.D. was capable of collecting symptoms and providing non-conclusive diagnoses for thousands of common and rare medical conditions and even provide tutorials for practical and easy to do diagnostic tests that could be performed in non-laboratory conditions to narrow down and even prove your diagnoses without expensive medical or laboratory tests.</p>
<div id="attachment_229" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.planet-nifty.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Google-Doc-MD1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-229" title="Google Doc M.D. Search Results" src="http://www.planet-nifty.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Google-Doc-MD1-300x81.jpg" alt="Google Doc M.D." width="300" height="81" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Google Doc M.D. Search Results</p></div>
<p>Google Doc M.D. was already capable of diagnosing a large variety of conditions and provide useful advice on dealing with medical problems. Sadly the project was scrapped before the public Beta because there were too many concerns raised about the validity of a the medical opinion generated by Googles proprietary search algorithm. While every attempt was made to supply a reasonable disclaimer about medical advice from a computer in the end, the lawyers won and Google Doc M.D. was scrapped and the resources pushed towards making an online office suite of a similar name.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a some simple java script to include a twitter feed for a particular user&#8217;s timeline into a web page. It assumes you&#8217;ve got jQuery (version  1.2 or higher) already installed.</p>
<pre class="brush:javascript">
function showTweets (data) {
  $('#feed').empty();
  for (var tweet in data) {
    $('#feed').append('&lt;p&gt;'+data[tweet].text+'&lt;/p&gt;');
  }
}

$( function () {
  var user = 'TWITTER_USERNAME'; //the twitter user name of the person who's tweets you want to include
  var no_tweets = 10; //the number of tweets to fetch
  $.getScript("http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/"+user+".json?count="+no_tweets+"&#038;callback=showTweets")
})
</pre>
<div>I&#8217;ve also added a div with the id &#8220;feed&#8221; in my html to contain the tweets like this:</div>
<pre class="brush:html">
&lt;div id="feed"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Loading Tweets...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
</pre>
<div></div>
<div>The callback function showTweets empties this div before filling it with the 10 most recent tweets, so that &#8220;Loading Tweets&#8230;&#8221; message vanishes once the script has done its work.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Simple but effective no? Well I though it was pretty clever.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Note that the jQuery getScript() method can fetch javascript across domains since jQuery version 1.2.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve added a Smilin&#8217; Countdown timer to the right hand bar of my blog here. It&#8217;s got a rough countdown to when I should be all done with these Invisalign Aligners.</p>
<p><span id="more-111"></span></p>
<p>The current countdown is 1 Years, 2 Months, 19 Days, 11 Hours and 21 Minute until I smile.</p>
<p>The braces continue to keep me entertained. I notice that all the teeth on the right hand side of my mouth are gradually shuffling into their new positions. Not much movement on the left side yet, although I notice that the aligners I&#8217;ve got at the moment say &#8220;Rx Only&#8221; on the packet. So presumably the Left side will get moved around later. I&#8217;ve had two &#8216;stripping&#8217; appointments with my dentist which, was a slightly scary experience at first;</p>
<p>Admittedly I was only scared because the dentist produced what can only be described as a miniature grinder and then said &#8216;Hold still because I don&#8217;t want to cut your face&#8217;. Maybe I&#8217;m just a bit of chicken.<br />
Anyway the process is painless and pretty quick. You get a small cloud of enamel dust coming out of your mouth as material is shaved off the sides of two teeth to create a gap. Typically the gaps created in my mouth were around  0.1 &#8211; 0.3 mm each which is, I&#8217;m told, an acceptable loss of material for each tooth and since the loss comes from between two teeth, I reckon&#8217; each tooth is only losing roughly half of that.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m on aligner 6 now. No more stripping needed until next year. I&#8217;ve also got a complete schedule of all my aligners and appointments for stripping &amp; checkups until the end of the treatment in February 2011. I must say I am looking forward to having a smarter smile. But the aligners can be irritating at times; sometimes I feel like i&#8217;ve got a bit of something in my mouth that I just want to spit out. Unfortunately if I do, I&#8217;ll probably have to buy a replacement set of aligners or skip forward / backward a set, which could be unpleasant.</p>
<p>Oh well, only 1 Years, 2 Months, 19 Days, 11 Hours and 09 Minutes to go&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like me, dear reader, you&#8217;ve probably used <a title="Google Translate (opens in a new window / tab)" href="http://translate.google.com/" target="_blank">Google Translate</a> to translate the odd phrase, maybe de-code the odd spam e-mail or try to reverse engineer some <a title="Engrish Funny (opens in a new window / tab)" href="http://engrishfunny.com/" target="_blank">Engrish</a> from a user manual for that foot spa you got on eBay for all of £2.97.</p>
<p>Did you ever try running a whole website through it though? It&#8217;s actually quite cool!</p>
<p><span id="more-55"></span></p>
<p>Take a look at this website translated into Japanese:</p>

<p>Of course, you can run pretty much any website through there and I strongly suggest that you do!</p>
