Comments bug fix

28 May 2003

There was a bug in the comments system that was displaying email addresses outside of links. Apologies for that. I think it’s fixed now.

On a totally different note, I had a very strange dream last night about disparate systems. I dreamed that two disparate systems were in fact desperate systems, who were crying a lot and throwing SOAP at each other. I guess the fact that they were both desperate meant that they were no longer disparate. Two systems united in their suffering.

I never claimed I was of sound mind.

  1. § Mike: Is the one that buggers up when i put <em> tags in fixed too?

    I have dreams about women giving birth... and once you’ve seen it they’re all together more vivid... I too never claimed to be of sound mind.
  2. § Mike: hahaha no! view source for what it should have been.. the preview looks fine... just the dodgy article item template.
  3. § Drew McLellan: No, that one would appear to remain unfixed.
  4. § Spencer: How did you fix it?

About Drew McLellan

Photo of Drew McLellan

Drew McLellan has been hacking on the web since around 1996 following an unfortunate incident with a margarine tub. Since then he’s spread himself between both front- and back-end development projects, and now is Director and Senior Web Developer at edgeofmyseat.com in Maidenhead, UK (GEO: 51.5217, -0.7177). Prior to this, Drew was a Web Developer for Yahoo!, and before that primarily worked as a technical lead within design and branding agencies for clients such as Nissan, Goodyear Dunlop, Siemens/Bosch, Cadburys, ICI Dulux and Virgin.net. Somewhere along the way, Drew managed to get himself embroiled with Dreamweaver and was made an early Macromedia Evangelist for that product. This lead to book deals, public appearances, fame, glory, and his eventual downfall.

Picking himself up again, Drew is now a strong advocate for best practises, and stood as Group Lead for The Web Standards Project 2006-08. He has had articles published by A List Apart, Adobe, and O’Reilly Media’s XML.com, mostly due to mistaken identity. Drew is a proponent of the lower-case semantic web, and is currently expending energies in the direction of the microformats movement, with particular interests in making parsers an off-the-shelf commodity and developing simple UI conventions. He writes here at all in the head and, with a little help from his friends, at 24 ways.
