Poor kitty.
[ Posted by Dan on March 23, 2003 | 8 Comments ]

This cat knows it's ugly.

This image seems to be making the rounds recently, but I'm not exactly sure where it originally came from. At the very least, this cat seems to know it's been violated, and is unhappy about it.

That is one unhappy kitty.

I've seen the left photo, but not the one on the right.
:(

I've had those days! You know.... the days you feel like everything has been stripped from you and you find satisfaction in just sitting and fuming.

Kind of looks like Calvin (from the comic strip) when he's pissed!

Another image that doesn't show up in my RSS reader because you didn't include the full URL.

Heh, yes, my habit is to use reletive URLs in my images.

It seems to me that Syndirella should be able to resolve that relative URL. Do you agree Josh?

I don't know. What I'm reading in my RSS reader comes from one URL, and this web page comes from a different URL. So if you use a relative URL, that URL has to have the same relationship with both the RSS document and the HTML document, right?

I'd be inclined to guess that, since this browser-like application (NNW or Syndirella) is rendering markup that has linked resources, there should be a mechanism by which the browser-like application resolves relative URLs.

But, as you say, one markup page is representing the content of another page, so there can be some ambiguity.

But regarding that ambiguity, consider this: The RSS feed I supply contains all of the content of the post you are viewing, therfore the RSS markup can be considered to be the base representation of that post (even though the RSS is transient). I elect to represent in in another way, as a 'normal' web page, and the applications than can render that, can resolve relative URLs.

Perhaps the question here is "should RSS readers act like web browsers?" My guess is that somelone like Brent would say 'yes.'

Lol....that's one pissed off cat. That's really sad that those people shaved that cat, but it IS funny. It ALMOST makes me want to do the same to my cat. BUT I WON'T. I think she'd rip my face off.

Comment posting has been turned off because I don't have enough time and will to deal with the constant comment spamming. I'm very sorry and will fix this sometime soon (soon = before 2004 ends).
