Exchanging social skills for internet bills


This is the homepage of Kim Randell. As I have yet to figure out what exactly the purpose of the site is, it represents a random selection of my thoughts and interests rather than any coherent message or information resource. Anyway, onwards...

LOOK

LISTEN

Recent gig-wise: The Flaming Lips lived up to the hype in Birmingham, putting on a spectacular show.

Recent album-wise: er...not much. New Bowie's slowly growing on me.

THINK

I am now all livejournalled up.

If you want to know about me, my bookmarks will probably tell you about more than a self-indulgent description ever could. Please note that I don't advocate all or even many of the sites or opinions therein. The music section is especially non-indicative of my tastes - don't ask why.

I use the Opera browser, which is lovely and quick, but doesn't export bookmarks to HTML, so I've written a little Perlscript to convert an exported Opera bookmarks file to simple HTML. It handles nested folders with indentation, but ignores most other attributes like last visited and so on (although it reads them into variables which you can play with should you want to extend it).

My next perlscript project is a rather rubbish way of creating indexes of my pictures, with thumbnails and navigation. Experienced perl hackers will be able to tell from this and the previous that I have no idea what I'm doing, and will have to excuse the procedural C-like fashion of the scripts. Download (3Kb)
