Nah - you aren't (check out the hairstyle -

However I find that I'm not so into my more hardcore music for when I'm
actually coding, hence my more mellow choices.
By the way, see if you can check out a UK punk band called The Tofu Love
Frogs - excellent festie-punk I kid you not!).
However, my hangover cure is to listen to Atari Teenage Riot at top volume
on my headphones. The sheer intensity allows me to actually break though
the hangover and concentrate on what's on the screen instead... or at least
that's my excuse :-)
Hmm, that was definitely off-topic :-)
<tip type="WAP">
The jury is in on the best way to filter clients between WAP and HTML
content. The answer appears to be to not use USER_AGENT and a list of
agents, but instead to check whether USER_ACCEPT contains "text/vnd.wap.wml"
Tadah!! This should work in practically every case except where there is no
USER_ACCEPT string sent by the browser - in which case the browser
manufacturer has made a mistake and is a "Bad Manufacturer".
