2. May, 2002 - watching my world

• The BBC has a decent rundown of May Day in pictures - demonstrations and marches from around the world. [Jim]
• But May Day never really caught on in the US. Perhaps as Stephen Green suggests, it's because we were too busy getting rich to bother.
• Watching the people come in on last Sunday when Dave Winer linked to my movie reviews has been prompting me to think about (and start writing) some more traffic-analysis stuff. I've got pretty good information about where people are coming from to get to my site, but once they're within the site, I wanna know how they're getting around, since I KNOW my navigation within the site needs some work. There's too much stuff that you can only get to via the full sitemap... Ponder ponder ponder....
• I made a collection of all the images I posted during April 2002.
• So I'd read Fixing Your Site With the Right DOCTYPE. I finally got around to changing Dave's Picks to XHTML 1.0. Took about 35 minutes to get the main template done, and I'll be slowly grazing through the rest of the pages. If you spot something that's broken, please drop me a note. [zeldman]
• CSS Bugs in IE5/5.1 Mac. I'd like to see 'em all fixed. Yesterday if possible, of course. [inflatable sheep]
• Clergy accused of sexual abuse remain at St. John's Abbey. Which is a Good Thing. As Abbot Klassen says, When they are here, they are in our community, and the public doesn' t have to worry about what is happening in the larger community. [strib]
• Battleground God checks the consistancy of your beliefs. It's an interesting test. [flutterby]
• Simpsons Could End - D'ohh! [google news], followed by Cowabunga! The Simpsons not ending after all. Millions of geeks breathe a sigh of relief. [fark!]
• You Deserve A Month Off. This article explains at least a part of why I started my own business. As strange as it may seem, in my case, it's meant more time off. Of course there's no money coming in when I'm not working, but that's not always bad, either. I would have been perfectly happy working for a company who'd let me work a 24-30 hour work week (for an appropriate percentage of full-time pay). But none of them wanted to go for it, so now I'm independant. [daypop]
