ZHAO II And How To Make It a Personal Dance Machine Okay, this actually makes a certain amount of sense, except that I have multiple versions of the animation overrider, in folders with different outfits. If this makes no sense to you, relax, it’s a mini-post.

The Chinese view: Zimbabwe police reaffirm zero tolerance to violence_English_Xinhua HARARE, June 22 (Xinhua) — Police in Zimbabwe have reaffirmed zero tolerance to violence before, after and during the June 27 presidential run-off elections, local media reported on Sunday. The Commissioner General of the Zimbabwe Republic Police, Augustine Chihuri, said the MDC-T party and its leadership are to blame for causing political violence in the country. Commissioner General Chihuri chronicled some of the incidents of political violence perpetrated by the MDC-T from the time of the launch of the opposition party’s campaign in Mutare. He said the force is intensifying…

Editorial: A stolen victory would finally damn Mugabe | Comment is free | The Observer When Zimbabwe’s opposition party meets in Harare tomorrow, it faces the most critical decision of its nine-year existence. In the months leading up to this week’s presidential run-off election, the Movement for Democratic Change has seen supporters brutalised, raped and murdered. They can be sure that more lives will be lost before the polls close, so should they pull out of the race? Aborting the campaign may halt, at least temporarily, the bloodletting. It would also send a clear signal of protest against the manifest…

I’ve discovered a useful Firefox plugin for blogging: ScribeFire. I’m currently checking to see what it can do, but so far about the only thing is that I can’t seem to find a way to do a mini-post. However, it’s got an option for bookmarking with Technorati Tags to del.icio.us. More playing is warranted. The slick thing is that it’s a graphical overlay that sits at the bottom of whatever webpage you invoke it on… and you can go from page to page to page, with the edit window open and useable. Rather handy for those kinds of posts where…

Obama’s War Chest Drives a 50-State Strategy – NYTimes.com Less than three weeks after securing the Democratic nomination, Mr. Obama is already dispatching paid staff members to all 50 states, an unusual move by the standards of modern presidential campaigns so often fought in just a contained group of contested territories. His aides and advisers said they did not believe Obama necessarily has a serious chance of winning in many of the traditionally Republican states, but rather that he can at least draw Mr. McCain into spending time and money there while also swelling the rolls of Democratic voters and…

I was awakened just now by a very loud, highly amplified announcement: “[FirstName LastName], This is the [MyTown] Police Department. We need you to answer the phone, and come to the door with your hands in the air. You are under arrest.” Sometimes they vary it by adding the street address, and adding “we are not going away.” This started at some time before 5am, and it’s been going on for at least 10 or 15 minutes. It repeats and repeats, almost like a recorded announcement, quite calmly. I got up and looked to make sure that no cop car…

The posts that went up on BoingBoing’s “BBtv” section started early this year: this crazy French-German guy was trying to become the next big American action hero. But who was he? Really? Here’s the most recent BBtv video: BBtv – Klaus Pierre: Super Pretty Action Hero Star – Boing Boing There are links to earlier videos, and then if you search YouTube there are other videos, uploaded by the great Klaus Pierre himself. Some of them are very puzzling, as they are completely in French. What? you mean he’s really FRENCH? Intriguing. And then the profile points to his website,…

Just fooling with the time/date stamp. UPDATE: Hmm! I just figured something out. I thought I couldn’t update drafts started via WordPress in Linear (formerly ecto) because WP’s time/date stamps place drafts infinitely deep in my archives, lost in time and space. However, if I at least edit the Publish On date (I picked a time a minute before the creation time) the post shows up on Linear’s list of “published” posts, although it’s still a draft as far as WordPress is concerned. Which is more like the way it used to behave before WP2.5, when the same function was called…
