A small bug fix for the linklist for those of you who have imported an OPML. You would get an “unexpected error” whenever importing a file. This is now fixed, and you should be able to import the OPML file perfectly now. Please download the module again, and replace the mcp.linklist.php file. That’s it!

The latest version of the Linklist module is now released! This version has quite a bit of cosmetic fixes (including the inline documentation) and now features pagination.
The linklist documentation has also been updated to reflect the latest instructions for 1.2. You can find it on the sidebar on the left.
Here are the latest changes (from the CHANGES file):
- Added Snoopy Class to retrieve websites and opml url’s for compatibility for those that aren’t able to use fopen for URL’s.
- Added new parameter “offset”. Read the documentation for information on this parameter.
- Cosmetic changes according to the new 1.3 release stylsheets.
- Changed the parameter for the {exp:linklist:entries} tag of member_id, now it defaults to “all”, instead of 1, the original Super Admin.
- Changed the variable {url_title} to {linklist:url_title} since it interferes with the {exp:weblog:entries} tag. *duh!*
- Changed the keywords function – now will not “runaway” in a odd keywords situation.
- Changed how keywords are retrieved. If you specify keywords=”ee” and you have a keyword like “tennessee”, it will not pick up “tennessee” as a valid keyword.
- The original Super Admin (member id of 1) is now able to view/edit/delete *all* linklists, even if they are created by other members. At this time, however, they are not able to create linklists for other members. (This may change in the future)
- Pagination is now available for linklists. Please read the documentation for more information.
- {no_results}…{/no_results} has been added to the exp:linklist:entries and exp:linklist:keywords tags.
For those of you who have been waiting for the 1.2 release of Linklist, be warned, it will be released soon. (soon meaning once I’m satisfied with one more small change that hopefully someone is checking out and works ok for him.)
There are a few changes/fixes/additions. Fun fun! Check out the new changes:
- Cosmetic changes according to the new 1.3 release stylsheets.

So after all this time, I’ve finally gotten around to getting a picture phone. From Sprint. Now, I’ve had sprint for the longest time. I mean I’ve been with them for at least 5 years now. I’ve never had a problem.
Until Now. Yay.
So I’m happy, thinking I can finally really moblog. I mean now I can send updates to my photolog without being on the web. Cool. Um…NO. They decide to change their format ON THE DAY I decide to buy my phone. Conspiracy. I’m not kidding, they knew it!
Luckily, Paul (the man) fixed up the moblog module and it’s working all great again. Until they change their format again. I’m sure it’ll happen. I’m just wondering how places like TextAmerica and Flickr get theirs working right away. I guess they have enough people to sit down and check what works and what doesn’t, and then notify the programmers who fix it so fast, it doesn’t even look like there was ever a problem.
Oy. So I’m sure I’ll have a ton of stupido photo pics on my photolog. Some of them might even actually be good!

So Google now has it’s own IM service called Google Talk (I will dub it GT from now on) where you can send IM’s, emails, or talk to your friends. I wonder how fast this will catch on. Pretty interesting. They dont’ have a client for Mac or Linux yet, but they do tell you how to set up existing clients for GT. I’m using it on Adium myself, and it *looks* like it’s working, I just don’t have anyone on my list just yet. 
The windows application is in beta, but the service looks to be pretty solid. It uses Jabber, which works for me. Of course, I can’t talk to anyone using Adium, but hey, I’m not complaining.
Oh, you’ll be required to have a gmail account to use the service, since it incorporates itself into that. Pretty nifty. Feel free to add me to your GT list, my gmail is

As is invariably the case in my life, I am never satisfied with any work I do. Which in this case means the design of this site. While of course, I *do* like it, at the same time, I don’t like it. ( Come on designers, I know you know what I mean! )
It’s tough, but this time I’m thinking of a “non standard” way of displaying as much as possible to show, *and* make it easy to read, and quite simple to read. I know, why not make the site o like flips and stuff, right? There’s never a real answer, and perhaps someday I might even come up with a solution. But it’s not today.
So, as always, I’ll be thinking of a new way to lay out my site. Meanwhile, enjoy the site as it is now, as it might change tomorrow. (that would be a feat for me, believe me!)

Well, I’ve taken up the most improbable thing I’ve ever thought I’d do. I’ve joined league bowling. I am now part of a mixed bowling league. Tonight was the first night of bowling, and well, I’d say I did pretty darn good for someone who hasn’t bowled in AGES. This game marks your average, and I got an average of 87. Now, while that would be outstanding if I were to playing Candlepin Bowling, I’m afraid in normal bowling games, that’s pretty poor. Of course, I get a totally kick ass handicap now. So during the course of however many days, (it seems the league lasts like forever), I hope to improve my bowling average way higher from 87. At least I have my own shoes. (No ball yet though.)

Well, I’ve finally finished up the last touches to the “new” design. My main goal was to make the site look pretty similar all over. And once again, when with a minimalistic (kinda) method. There are hardly any images on these pages, which should make the site load much faster and a bit more efficiently. (Not to say that having images is bad, I’m just a minimalist, remember)
If you’re having any issues accessing parts of the site, then please let me know.
The linklist beta is still ongoing if you’re looking to test this out. The more folks that try to use it the better in this case. I’ve already got stuff in store for version 1.3, and will be working on those pretty soon. (Although I’m considering just incorporating the changes into 1.2, and resending the beta to my beta testers)
Please contact me if you wish to try out the beta.
So Participatory Culture Foundation (PCF) just released DTV Beta for Mac. It’s pretty nice. Basically it’s a way to keep all the vlogs you might visit in check and in a central place. So far it’s been pretty easy to set up and watch. I’ve watched quite a few already, and well, I’m pretty happy with the program.
I’ll admit though, I haven’t been much of a vlog watcher myself, but perhaps this program will ease me into it. And if you’re wondering if I’ll ever open a vlog, I’m thinking probably not, but you never know, do you?
Oh I did also want to mention that I don’t know of too many vlogs out there. If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know.

Well, this last weekend was pretty busy. Brother-in-law’s birthday, it was also a belated celebration (well, from our point of view) for the parent’s anniversary. (Meesh’s parents that is.) So saturday, there was a bbq at the parent’s house, which was excellent. They just got back from a good fishing trip and bbq’ed up some halibut and salmon, and we also managed to cook up some steak as well. It was a very good feast, and my phrase for the day was, “I’m not eating too much today, I don’t want to explode.” Needless to say everyone was trying to get me to explode. It was a lot of fun.
Sunday, we got invited to hang out in the boat for the day. Now that was fun. I’ve posted one photo from the digital on the photolog, however, the rest of my shots will have to get developed. We went up to Seattle and back, and had some lunch in Gig Harbor. Pretty nice day! We also managed to watch the Blue Angels as they were flying over Seattle, and I’m still not sure why they were there, but they pretty much flew right above us in the water, and I got a few shots of that. Hopefully they turn out ok! I’m anxious to see them.
It was a pretty eventful weekend. I took a short break today just to recuperate, since the sun burned me pretty good and I’ve been exhausted. Hope your weekend was just as fun!
