James Cape blogged about Organic HTML.

An interesting idea, visualizing a web page structure as a flower. ;-)

Unfortunately, typical CSS pages look pretty boring that way. It's the "evil" HTML elements that make a fancy flower.

msn.com makes the flash applet crash my browser at first try... planet.debian.org looks like a jungle, not like a plant...

Not much today, just a shot of the brugmansia tree on our patio. When the sun came out I wanted to try out manually controlling the aperture to get the background blurred.

Heute nichts besonderes, nur ein Foto von der Engelstrompete auf unserer Terrasse. Ich brauchte was zum spielen als die Sonne rauskam, und so hab ich mal manuell die Blende eingestellt um den Hintergrund unscharf zu bekommen.

I'm stuck: I can't get subversion to tell me if a file is to be ignored in a repository. That is a file which is not yet existant in the working directory...

I first thought this might be a limitation of the pySVN api (which e.g. doesn't expose the singleStatus of the C++ API), but the C++ API also returns a None-Status. So I started browsing the subversion source... There is a function called svn_wc_get_ignores in there which internally collects the ignore patterns, but I can't find an exposed version of it I could use.

So I see two choices: going away from subversion to some other SCM as base, or restricting the support of ignores to those defined in svn:ignore and a set of builtins of laysvn (like *~)
