Hallo from the world of headstaggers. Well, it`s Friday (I think) around lunch time, and I`m gearing up to go back to bed. No, I`ve not become even more lazy, but I have started a new job with some very odd shift work. I`ll be “on” (in man terms, not lady terms) from 10pm tonight until probably 6am tomorrow, then doing it again tomorrow night. This shift work really disrupts your perception of the week, and it`s almost at the point where I need to write the day of the week on my hand so I don`t forget.
Anyway, I did a quick and dirty copy and paste of a flickr and a tweeter badge and plonked them on the front page. It`s probably not even valid HTML, but I`m not too fussed at the minute. Hopefully when life gets a little simpler (it`s currently somewhere between “very complex” and “nightmare”) and I can figure out my hours for work, I`ll actually get around to restyling the site, and then start working on some new CRAP. I`m in awe of Joel Veitch (www.rathergood.com) as he`s not only married with a children, but can rattle out CRAP at an astonishing rate. And it`s better CRAP than mine, but that`s neither here nor there.
Anyway – I`m hoping the tweeter thingie will at least reflect that I am still alive, and still moaning, groaning, and making bad puns.
Until the next time! Please keep the Smiths contributions coming!
So anyway, with Tweeter`s flakiness, and my general dislike of JavaScript when it can slow down a browser, I thought I`d do away with the JavaScript almost as quickly as I whacked it on. The flickr and twitter stuff now comes down through php. It`s cached for a while, but should do the job even if it`s not “realtime”. Better than waiting on twitter to cry with its fail whale!
Well, with the complete re-jig to WordPress, it`s back to JavaScript. Expect to see blank Tweetness as Tweeter falls on its arse the customary 496 times a day. Fhale wail.
You know, what is the correct etiquette for adding stuff to comments? Add a comment? Update the original post? Who knows. Who particularly cares.
