Feeling Distracted
Published 20 years, 1 month pastFor no apparent reason other than I can, I’ve redone the sidebar to include a linkblog titled “Distractions.” I did this by grabbing Markku Seguerra‘s wp-recent-links plugin and then hacking the holy bejeezus out of it. I needed to add a “via” function, for example, and wanted to make the administrative interface a bit nicer. That involved finding out how MySQL statements work (mostly by finding all the ways they don’t). So, hack hack hack. It was an interesting distraction. I’ll make the files available in due course.
To make room, I took out the “Socialization” section because it seemed largely worthless; two of the services listed I hardly even look at any more, and the other one was mostly about me puffing up my ego in public, which nobody really needs to see. I’m also thinking about taking out the Platelets because I don’t get to update it often enough, even though I have really soft spot for it in my heart. We’ll see what happens.
Keen-eyed observers will notice that I backfilled a few entries from the past few days. I needed test data, you know?
