The world that revolves around Caity Ross
Blog typology
This blog has been typalysed as ESTP - the doers:
The active and play-ful type. They are especially attuned to people and things around them and often full of energy, talking, joking and engaging in physical out-door activities.
The Doers are happiest with action-filled work which craves their full attention and focus. They might be very impulsive and more keen on starting something new than following it through. They might have a problem with sitting still or remaining inactive for any period of time.
So has my book blog (link in the menu).
There’s a fancy Flash graphic that tells you which part of the brain I used while writing the blogs, too, but unlike the boys at Language Log Plaza, I don’t know how to embed it here. Apparently, it’s pants.

The meme formerly known as the Chutry Experiment
I see the meme formerly known as the Chutry Experiment is doing the rounds again. The instructions are more or less the same, but this time, you pick page 56 instead of 123, and the wording is slightly altered. The meme formerly known as The Chutry Experiment thusly states:
- Grab the nearest book.
- Open it to page 56.
- Find the fifth sentence.
- Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
- Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
It’s also an unordered list now, instead of an ordered one; to my mind, ordered lists are better than unordered lists for instructions, but there you go.
Anyway, the nearest book to me is Reichenbach’s Elements of Symbolic Logic, and the requisite sentence is:
There are also expressions of a mixed nature, containing both uninterpreted constants and free variables.
A very short one, by Reichenbach’s standards, and luckily, no mad symbols like some of the others on that page.
Incidentally, I have now met one of the authors of the book I used in the previous meme.

Youtube and Wordpress (self-hosted)
If you want to link your self-hosted Wordpress blog to your Youtube account, you need more information than any other supported blog.
Once you’re on the set-up-blog-publishing page, fill the form in as follows:
- Blog Service: WordPress Self-Hosted
- Username: <username>
- Password: **********
- API URL: http://example.com/wordpress/xmlrpc.php
- API Key:
NB the API URL doesn’t seem to be anything to do with WordPress itself. It’s really just the path to the file xmlrpc.php; see the entry in the WordPress codex for more about it (look at the very bottom of the page for how the URL is obtained).
NB the API Key is a key you get by registering with wordpress.com, then following the instructions on the answer to the FAQ about it.
WordPress is all very well, but why do they have to make it so complicated?!
