archives plugin

Wednesday, 15 February, 2006 at 10:16 pm

For the past few days I’ve been trying to find an archives plugin that I liked. This is mostly for my dreamlog, since I’m so used to Diaryland’s archive setup, and I just got accustomed to having it that way while looking at my past dreams. But it’s a bonus for this blog.

The one that I think is perfect is CG Archives by Year, but only with his additional coding, so links to entries show up under each month. I e-mailed him asking about it, a week ago, and he hasn’t written back. I think he ’net-died. (His blog hasn’t been updated for a while.)

The Engineered Boulderer’s Super Archives Plugin comes in at a reluctant second. One, I’m not a fan of Javascripts. Perhaps because I just can’t get the hang of them just by looking at them. *snrk* Two, I don’t really like the way the archives are presented (three columns/whatever you choose). Three, Sometimes, if the page takes too long to load, when I hit the back button from the entry I’ve looked at, I’m sent back to the most recent year/month. Which, if I’m perusing my old dreams, would get annoying really quickly since I usually like reading the dreams that occurred around the same date.

Regardless, I was willing to use it, since I can’t find anything else that would show the entries by year. But I got a permission denied error, something about something (I understand the problem, I just can’t explain it), people comment about it on the plugin page. One guy posted something of a solution, but I don’t feel like editing stuff at the moment.

I also tried something from MtDewVirus but that didn’t work for some reason. I don’t remember what it was, but I probably couldn’t have fixed it without spending a lot of time on it, or I didn’t know what the heck was going on.

Right now I’m just using Clean Archives. It was nicest/most suited to my aesthetic tastes (or simplest?) of all the “list links to all blog entries on one page” plugins. It shows the archives as a link to the entry using the entry title, which is mostly what I wanted. But I have 100+ more dreams to add to my dreamlog, which is already at 550+ entries … so the archives page will take a very long time to load/scroll down indeed. :/

*sigh* Wish that guy would write back with his extra codes.

(And I spent 37 minutes on this entry. *blink*)

2005 book list

Sunday, 8 January, 2006 at 12:48 am

Wheee, I remembered to update. :P Here’s a list of all the books I managed to read in 2005 (plus a few from 2004 >.>). (List started January 22, 2005.) I was trying to read 100 books in one year. I didn’t read that many, just half (including the few from 2004 ^^;). Another goal I’d like to accomplish in life is to read 100 books in one year! (Even though that would amount to reading one book every 3.65 days. …Unless I did it in a leap year, then it’d be 3.66 days…)

It’s kind of weird. I look over the list, and I think, Wow, I read that book then? It seems like so long ago… Like The Handmaid’s Tale or The Unbearable Lightness of Being. I want to reread Ender’s Shadow again. XD (Even though I already have about a half dozen books on my to-read list, not including class required reading. *ack*)

Also, wow, I’m gone for only one week and WordPress is updated. Hmmm, maybe I should leave other things alone and maybe they’ll get updated too… (Note to self, upgrade WordPress after backing up current state.)

imported gm entries

Ahh, I understand, the original WP entries kept their entry # designations … the GM entries were just added on afterwards … I hope I didn’t break anything. :x Also there’s that “0” under the archives, dunno what to do about that … bah.

But anyway. I’ve got my GM archives in WP. Yayez.

[edit]10:16 Dang, the unorderedness is really bugging me now. AHHH!!

woo, two posts in one day…

I’ve been on the internet too long. Year-wise, not hour-wise. I dunno …

Someone on the radio said, I forget, but they said “…you’re…” The person said it like yor so I seriously thought they said “your” and I was about to correct them, “No, you’re.”

… yeah, I’ve spent too much time online … or I’ve gone to the next level in grammar nazism.

…

I upgraded WordPress! Woo! Easiest Upgrade Ever. haha. But I found out there’s an import Greymatter included IN the blog itself (ehehe), so I decided to find out more about it, maybe even import … but I guess it’s hard to do in 1.5. I was willing to try it with 1.5.1, but then I found out it needs to import from a Greymatter install (duh?). Dangit! I don’t think I’m allowed to install Greymatter on this server. I forget where I read that. I wonder what would happen if I tried anyway … >b It’s not like I’m actually going to use it or anything …

(Oh, it’s under their TOS. Pooh.)

spamishness

They put the oddest things in spam …

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
Why is it that when we are humming and then we plug our nose, our humming stops? Do people really hum through their nose, or their mouths?
Can you blow a balloon up under water?
Can crop circles be square?
How do they get the air inside the bubble wrap?
Why are there black lines on a basketball?
Does it really count in court when an atheist is sworn in under oath using a Bible?
Why are there pictures of the sun wearing sunglasses when the purpose of sunglasses is to protect your eyes from the sun?
If you were born exactly on 12:00 midnight on December 31st–January 1st, which year would you say you were born in?
If marriage means you fell in love, does divorce mean you climbed out?
Why are the numbers on a calculator and a phone reversed?
When a car is for sale and it has a balloon on it, does the balloon come with it?
If you are parking somewhere and the signs in front of the parked cars say “30 minutes” then when your 30 minutes are up can you park in the spot right next to you??
Why isn’t the word ‘gullible’ in the dictionary?
When you see the weather report and it says “partly cloudy” and then the next day it says “partly sunny”; what’s the difference?

me:

  • It’s a sign of our more lazy lifestyle.
  • Is it just me or does this seem obvious? I dunno…
  • I wanna try this. XP I guess you can’t … unless you have a lung capacity of a balloon … ehh … bad grammar *whackwhack* Make sense of it.
  • I dunno, I guess the real question is what do crop circles say? What’s the significance?
  • *imagines a smashy machine*…
  • dunno, so you can tell which way it’s spinning? *shall ask Daddy*
  • I dunno. I guess it doesn’t. Or maybe it’s just a sign of how little the Bible is worth today…?
  • People are stupid?
  • The new one. Everyone says happy new year at midnight … so it’s the new year. Also, military time starts at 0:00, right? (The day certainly wouldn’t end after 0:00…)
  • yes
  • Ooh, I knew this once! Er. I don’t remember now though. :x
  • Only if you say pretty please.
  • I dunno. :P Try it.
  • It is. I actually looked it up once. *laughs*
  • like half full or half empty, maybe?

WordPress came out with 1.5.1 8 days ago … Shows how often I look at that update page! Now I have to upgrade … *nervous* I’ll get around to it …

…

What happened to extreme tracker? Did it die? I just tried to look at it now, and I got a 502 “bad gateway” error … but I use a Dell. :o Okay that was bad…

…

It’s the start of my summer! wahoo! (How does one get a job? I have absolutely no friggin clue.) The one thing that I’ll miss about not having classes is that I can’t listen to my uber cool stereo system in my car. Dang.
