Well, I’m posting into the future, and you should see this message just as we are getting prepared to get married. Odds are, we’re just now getting ready for the ceremony and Meesh is probably walking down the aisle. 
Congratulate us on our wedding!

The next few weeks I will be scarce around here. Yeap even more so than I am now. If I thought I was busy before, I’ve got another thing coming. My parents will be arriving into town tomorrow, and by this time today (or tonight), my parents will be in the house stirring up parent trouble! 
But I’ll try to post something in here once in a while.

Well just thought I’d say I have one more week left until the wedding. Man. Time goes by so fast. Things are a bit more hectic, as my parents will be coming into town tomorrow, and my sister arrives on wednesday. It’s a bit crazy around here getting things cleaned up and sorted out.
Things will get crazier soon I’m sure!

If you haven’t heard already, Terry Goodkind has released the title of the latest Sword of Truth Novel, Phantom. He also gives a synposis as well. The tentative release date is January 2006, and has yet to show up on Amazon.
The letter from Terry also mentions the success of the last signing (January 2005) and he also hopes to have one yet again! (I’m glad, since I missed the last book signing!) Exciting times ahead for the Sword of Truth lovers out there!

Sure enough, I’ve been sucked into this show. The only reason I’m watching this reality show is because it’s about the kitchen and cooking. I love it so far. If you haven’t seen the episode yet (like if you have it on Tivo and haven’t watched it yet), don’t go any further. Unless you’re curious of course.
Well, the past weekend seemed to be chock full of work. Work work work! I managed to release version 1.1 of Linklist yesterday. That was a pretty good release, though there were a few stumbles at first. No big deal.
Thanks to Doc for pointing out a bug with the checkupdated tag not working “silently”. Please be sure to redownload the ZIP file again, as I’ve reuploaded it with this bug fixed.
Linklist 1.1 has been released. Please find the download in the downloads section. A number of features have been added! CHANGES:
- Tweaked the exp:linklist:checkupdated tag to show more descriptive messages when silent=”false”
- Changed an error message to state what exactly was wrong if you did not check off the check boxes.
- added detecting of either atom or rss feeds in the rss auto-detection.
- changed the exp:linklist tag to exp:linklist:entries. This was casuing a problem in performance when running the other tags.
- added keywords and some new tags: exp:linklist:keywords, exp:linklist:related_keywords
- parameters added to entries dynamic (defaults to on), keywords (specify keywords to use to display links with that keyword)
- added a new function called sql_lik_str($value,$field) that works similar to the sql_andor_string() in the FNS class, but this one will instead do a LIKE ‘%word%’ query.
- keyword weighting : you can now specify {font_size} to change the sizes of your keywords to show which has more weight.
- changed it so you can use {linklist:url} instead of just {url} to alleviate any confusion between tags. ( if you’re nesting tags )
- new action that increments a counter everytime a person clicks on that link using the clickthru link method tag. (it uses url_id as an identifier for clicking on, since EE seems to ban ‘www.’ in the URL string and i’m not sure how to get around that.)
- new tags, {count_linkcode} and {counturl}. {count_linkcode} is identical to {normal_linkcode}, except it will display the URL used to keep track of clickthrus. {counturl} will display only the URL for the clickthru.
- dropped the idea of having categories. I just feel this isn’t needed.
Well, a few folks have already asked me in the future versions to be able to share their linklists with other people by using OPML or RSS. (via OPML mainly to import into other sites, such as Furl) Here’s a handy “tutorial” for accomplishing this. (Actually it’s more of a template guide.) Instead of actually typing the code in for your template, I figured it’s much easier for you to download the templates instead. You can find them here.
these should work “right out of the box”, assuming your main weblog is weblog1. If you have any questions, let me know, it’s pretty straightforward. If you would like to see some working demos of this, then hit my keywords page on my main site. You’ll also see the newest and latest features I’m working on with 1.1 of the Linklist Mod as well.

Tonight, we’re going to see A night of Improv with the guys from Whose Line is it Anyway? This is gonna be some serious fun! The only ones not going to be there will be Drew Carey and Wayne Brady. I guess they’ve got better things to do. Regardless, we’re gonna have 90 minutes of some serious funniness tonight! I just hope we don’t get picked out of the audience to do something crazy. hehe.
