Woo!

I wish I'd found this before I'd used PHP to work around IE's limitations.

Putting this in a .htaccess file will spit out the right MIME type for the browser.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_ACCEPT} application/xhtml\+xml
RewriteCond %{HTTP_ACCEPT} !application/xhtml\+xml\s*;\s*q=0
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.html$
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} HTTP/1\.1
RewriteRule .* - [T=application/xhtml+xml]

Updates

Well, you might have noticed something of a change in the site. Firstly, it looks completely different.
Secondly, it's fully XHTML1.1 Strict and CSS2, so it's compact and nice-looking.
As a workaround, everything is PHP (so I can send the right content-type to IE to trick it), which means that I've also made every page on the site (well, every static page) an aspect of index.php. Sweet.

My FOAF entry is also up (in very abbreviated form! I think that's a downside of FOAF - I don't want all of my email addresses, phone numbers, IM accounts, addresses, and contacts to be on the Web); linked from the front page (as is the FOAF project).

I'm also trying out a new Javascript-based contact scheme.

Feedback is welcome!

Oh, and HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

PS. I realise that the logo looks funny in IE. I will change the mask.

The Phantom Menace

God, the special effects are awful!

And Jar-Jar Binks is an arsehole. Actually, it's a shitty film, isn't it?
Apart from the flying blue guy. He's cool.
