link rel publickey

Ok, I’ve implemented the following into the head of this document: <link rel="publickey" type="text/plain" title="Public Key" href="http://rasterweb.net/raster/pgpkey.txt" /> Which means if there is an agent smart enough to do auto-discovery of a public key via the url of this site, well, then we may be on our way to verification of commentation… or something like that…

Ugly HTML

I ended up using HTML::Template in a project at work, but I had to actually create a template as well. A filty, dirty, ugly, invalid template with nasty font tags and tables for layout. While I did managed to match the look of the site (and only had 4 lines of HTML in the code) it felt like quite a step backwards… I’m so used to writing XHTML and CSS that going back to the old methods actually hurt my brain a bit. Not to mention the fact that it was a mess to deal with. Please people, make the move to clean, structural markup using XHTML and CSS. You won’t be sorry…
