The Kneeslider

Doers Builders and Positive People

A Big Thank You for a Little Contribution

By Paul Crowe

If you’ve been coming to The Kneeslider over the years or even if you’re a brand new visitor, you may have added our site to your list of favorites. (You did do that, right?) If you have as many sites listed as most of us do, it’s easy to lose that new link in the long string of sites without some visual marker, what’s known as a favicon, that little image that shows up next to it in the list and in the browser address bar.

About a week ago, I got a note from Roel, one of our long time readers from the Netherlands, who got tired of searching for the link for so long he made an icon for us and sent it in, it’s that little red K on a black background you see now next to the link. I thought it looked pretty good so I added that to the site and it really stands out, don’t you think? Making a favicon has been on my list of things to do forever but it never had a high priority and kept getting passed over for other tasks and along comes Roel who just up and sends me one and I thought everyone should know who did it.

Roel, thank you. Little things like that mean a lot and I bet there are quite a few readers who really appreciate how much easier it is to see the link. A big thumbs up!

    I subscribe to your RSS feed and noticed it in Google Reader. It is a nice improvement.

    Pure awesome!

    Although, I never had a problem, as you are right at the top of my list of MC blogs.

      List? … You mean there are others? 😉

        There are, but none cover the wide range of topics that you do. Bike Exif is number two.

    Typical Dutch behaviour, pro-active kind of people, thinking ahead, always prepared to go the extra mile, full of energy, hard working….

    But hey, I’m from Friesland, so what do I know?

    I have an RSS feed on the side of my browser, Rockmelt, and it makes a HUGE difference! Thanks Roel!!

    Some folks may have to delete their existing “Favorite” link in IE, then add it as a favourite again. I’m using IE6 and had to do that.
    Just been to Holland on the bike btw, lovely country. Surprisingly lovely!

    I thought I noticed something different.

    I can’t see it in the favicon spot, just thought I’d let you know. I’m using Firefox 4.0. I checked IE8 and Safari 5.0 and it shows up on them.

    Saw similar concept a few years ago in Popular Mechanics. Instead of Wankel rotary it was a tiny radial turbine. They said it would work inside a cell phone and take recharges like a zippo lighter and run for many hours. Haven’t heard from them since.

    This seems to make more sense in a humanoid robot. Energy density of petroleum with numerous electric motors operating the chassis and systems.

    Miniaturized Tylium reactor would be better. Or a Warp rive the size of a walnut.
