Want to export all *your* facebook data? you now can...

1. Click on account in the bar above. 2. Click on "Account settings" (or just go to https://register.facebook.com/editaccount.php ) 3. look for the "Download your information" section. 4. click on "learn more" 5. click on "Download" 6. wait for the email from Facebook. 7. download the zip file with your data. 8. PROFIT!! Note: you can't download information by other people (including their email addresses). There are some workarounds but personally, I'm not that fussed about this limitation. Getting *my* data out of facebook is much more important. Thanks facebook! Took you a while but this makes me a little happier. :) original blog entry: http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=434691727130 boot note: I was originally going to post this as a facebook status update but the length was too long (720 characters vs the 420 character limit). so now it's on my blog which will propagate to facebook... =)

Writing valid/standard code

One of my pet interests is in writing standardized code... Today I came across http://www.prestigeproperties.ie/ and was horrified to find that people were still creating websites this bad for their business. I maintain a few websites and I try to keep them validated to at least one HTML / XTML standard. But as far as I know, having valid HTL/XHTML/CSS is fairly low on most webmasters priorities... and here's some quick stats on websites i visit often...

New Zealand bound

Image
So am about to embark on a 3week trip to New Zealand. Less than 12 hours until my flight leaves Dublin. Can't wait... Our flights takes us via LHR, LAX and AKL and we will eventually arrive in Christchurch late Sunday evening Irish time (about 9am monday new zealand time). We're flying Aer Lingus (sans Ryanair-styling) to London and then Air New Zealand the rest of the way. Hopefully Ryanair haven't taken over by thr time we get back!! I fly Aer Lingus a lot so I'm used to the no thrills but respectful service at this stage (perfect for short trips). I haven't flown with Air New Zealand before but by all accounts they seem to fairly ok. They have an on-demand entertainment system which will hopefully keep me entertained for the longhaul flights (2 x 12hrs i believe). I have my laptop filled to the brim of CD music if it doesn't work out though... :) I'm going to miss every bit of this weekend's sports action including the international football and the ...
