Look, a Latest comments listing! (requested by poi a while ago...)
I also built one of these for WHEDONesque last night.
Now the occasional comments by Googlers finding old entries won't remain quite so unnoticed.
Network troubles :(, old camera broken :(, new camera arrived :), blah, blah...
Oh no, entry ids have caught up with the current year!
what the... whaaaa!
For the first time in years, I actually added some meta-tags to my main site template: ICBM and DC.title. All for the benefit of finding out which sites are nearest to me, powered by geourl.org.
And on a national level, www.nboogaard.com/map/ is compiling lists of weblogs in Holland per postal code area. [via Mijnkopthee.nl]
Redesign in progress... See 1927 for the source of the new background image.
Update:
After one day, I'm a little doubtful but not annoyed with this background image, so it might even last... Now to mess up the menucolumn and entrylist layout some.
Happy New Year!
You may have already noticed, but the little list of names next to the '(x comments)' links below each entry now link directly to the matching urls (if specified).
I retroactively added a bunch of ancient newsitems from various old homepages to the archive, which now goes back all the way to 19991998. Hence the jump in entry ids. :)
Hard to believe, but we recently had the 1000th forumpost already...
By the way, do you ever use the recent older entries list (scroll down)?
The server is back online after being down during most of the day... so if you happened to send me an email today, send it again. And if you didn't, send me some mail anyway. :)
New feature: scroll down for a list of links to recent older entries.
Attention feedreaders, the new preferred url for accessing my rss-feed is: http://milov.nl/rss.xml
milov.nl/iambald/110.html
I've taken to using
setTimeout(function(){tick(t+1);}, 55);
instead of
setTimeout('tick('+(t+1)+')', 55);
since it's less eval-esque and doesn't require escaping and messy parenthesizing.
Testing 'More' feature...

Update to the js photo filters: you can now Shift-click any photo on this site multiple times for 90°, 180° and 270° rotation. Wheee!
How it's done:
someElement.style.filter = 'progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=1)'; //or 2, or 3
Here's an image to test it on:
And: it now also works for images in the forum. Useful when viewing the Upside-down photos.
I just added a little extra javascript for Internet Explorer users, to apply some handy filters to any photo featured on this page:
- Shift-click a photo: Rotate 90°, 180°, 270°;
- Ctrl-click a photo: Desaturate (remove colours);
- Alt-click a photo: Invert colours.
Try it with some of the photos below! You can even combine filters. All this by setting one global document.onclick event (no need to add specific tags to each <img>-tag). View Source to see how it's done.

I can always tell the duration of a server-downtime by the gap it causes in my instant-referrer-list. In this case, the site was offline from 09:34 to 14:26.
Much thanks to coolstop.com for choosing this site as their Best of the Cool Daily Pick!

Using dashed borders in dhtml is fun... lots more detail/chaos/motion without adding more divs.
Update: click once to pause (and admire) the pattern. Click again to resume animation.

Almost 6 columns of weblogs now. Finding... too... many... high-quality... sites... argh.
Let's try something...
According to my webserver stats, this site currently averages about 800 visits per day. Now, that's probably an overestimation due to searchengine bots and people clicking thru all 100+ of the i.am/bald pages, but still, that's a lot of people.
And I hardly know any of them, except for the few regular comment- and forumposters. So, if you're reading this (anyone): please add a comment to this entry with your name/location as part of a more 'human' indication of visitor-stats for this site:
Update:
Ignore the lower comments, it's nothing but comment spam :)

I made this 5 years(!) ago...

Thanx to huphtur for the idea. Try it fullscreen! (sizes are relative to window size)
Also see: dhtml shadebobs, by mados.
filter:Alpha(style=2) is your friend. ^_^

Looking back... A selection of past entries with ids that are multiples of 100 (and a change to show off my new minimal mod_rewrite-powered permalink url syntax):
milov.nl/entry/900
milov.nl/entry/800
milov.nl/entry/700
milov.nl/entry/600
milov.nl/entry/500
milov.nl/entry/400
milov.nl/entry/300
milov.nl/entry/200
milov.nl/entry/100
Or, open a random entry.
Volgens de Loglijst sta ik nu op drie in de Top 10 van vaakst-updatende weblogs. Klopt niet helemaal, denk ik...
Added a 'Search entire site using Google' form (scroll down a bit)...

Anybody up for a game of 755 byte Pong? (IE5.5+ required)
How to make playing Pong interesting for 1 player: use vertical mouse motion to control the right paddle, and horizontal motion to control the left. Also, the longer you play, the faster the dot moves.
And yes, i.am/bald 100 is going to be something special...
Okay, you should now be able to post as well as read new comments without leaving the page. Done by simply calling the comments-xml url again, this time passing the details of the new comment to be saved (so no iframe, img-src or cookies necessary).
Another new thing: comments are now loaded by Javascript and appear inline in the current page. So you don't have to leave the page to read the comments for a particular entry (IE-only, right now).
Reference: PPK's Import XML Document tutorial.
The search-box is back! Scroll down a bit to see it...
Also, the string you search for is now highlighted in the results-page (done with Javascript rather than PHP so I don't have to worry about the highlight-code messing up any HTML-tags).
Okay, the instant referrers-list is back, and fast, this time....
Low has a home-made one too, now (click 'metadata').
Remember: if you want to have a referrer list of your own with a minimum of fuss, try Sean Nolan's Link Feedback Javascript tool.
Webserver processor went from 500Mhz to 1.5Ghz.
Avg. php render time of this page is now 0.01 sec... nice!

I improved the behind-the-scenes PHP scripting of this site somewhat (better caching of generated pages etc.) - seems to have made a noticable difference in response time.
New: browse old entries by category - check the archive page (scroll down a bit). Not all past entries have been correctly categorized as of yet, but it's a start.
(You can thank Low for pushing me to get this finished...)
'Kleurentest voor Nerds' - Fok Forum ontdekte iambald 62 (aka Know Your Hex). [via old referrers]
Busy redesigning and (partially) rescripting...
My Euro-time calculator is becoming topical again...
We're using iambald 97 here to get inspiration for possible colour schemes to use in a new design (yay professional application of personal web-art!). I noticed it almost completely froze the browser on slightly slower machines - should be better now (thanks to some setTimeout rearranging).

Automated latest referrers list (in menucolumn) now shows Google-links as "keyword".
