Sociable

2006.12.02 – 1:59 am PST

So a few weeks ago
I had seen other blogs in my readings, which contained strikingly similar bits after each post.
“Bookmark this story with”
Below that they had links to the linking and tagging sites, such as del.icio.us and digg.com.

After some thinking I decided I wanted something like this for my Wordpress blog feed, and I did some easy modifications by hand to my RSS feed template which provided similar results.

Then again today in my reading I see those same linky things on another blog, and I think to myself, I need to find this plugin or whatever.

Doing a search on Google, for;
Wordpress “bookmark this story with” plugin

Really didn’t lead me to the prize yet. Apparently blogs use this great plugin, so there are plenty of results. 250.

I went to one of the sites on the list, and proceeded to view the html source of the site, to see if there was any other identifiable material on this possible plugin. In the source was a div class named sociable. Ah HA!. Plugged this into the codex search, and viola! The 2nd entry yielded good results.

Sociable, the latest version at the moment is 1.2 released 2006.03.26

Of course after I installed the plugin, I noticed you can change the text above the image links, and of course it wasn’t the same text I had searched for. Searching for ‘wordpress “Share and Enjoy:” plugin‘ had way more results, about 102,000, and also in the #3 position was the homepage for the plugin I was searching for.

Hopefully this post will help others find the wordpress plugin I tried so hard to find.

[update] Also of note is the original author’s wordpress plugin page.

hi sooz.

2006.11.30 – 5:58 pm PST

I just noticed something on my friend sooz’s livejournal.
The permalink URL for her posts is getting closer and closer to 31337.

I do not think livejournal’s permalink numbering system is exactly linear though.

hilter in wordpress

took the plugin from here

updated to latest GeSHi

went back and fixed up previous posts, and now adding scripts or code to posts, or text will be nice.

# adds an options page to the options menu
function SUP_add_options_page()
{
if(function_exists("add_options_page"))
add_options_page("Smart Update Pinger", "Smart Update Pinger", 5, basename(__FILE__), "SUP_show_options_page");
}

function SUP_add_options_page()
{
if(function_exists("add_options_page"))
add_options_page("Smart Update Pinger", "Smart Update Pinger", 5, basename(__FILE__), "SUP_show_options_page");
}

above code used for example from Smart Update Pinger wordpress plugin.

my stuff (rulez!)

2006.11.08 – 3:18 pm PST

Hurray!
Right now I’m sitting in the living room with a wall of my stuff which lived in California for the last two years without me.  It feels good to be reunited with my nice huge cal-king bed, and other missed material possessions.  Now that I have my bed again hopefully I’ll sleep better, when I am able to sleep.
  The storage unit my dad and I procured here, is waaaay ( few more a’s) to big for all that I need to store, which is good, because, well my dad has plenty of crap to store, some which has just been living in the garage since he moved in.

Interestingly; Fox bought MySpace and later stole bones’ URL, for fox’s crappy TV show of the same name.
Who owns the URL?  Well it would appear that the original band does since MySpace gave it back.

Fox better not come up with a show called PX.  MySpace is shitty now, with spam artists and fake profiles I wonder when their bubble will burst. GigaOm has some numbers.

Today it seems Rumsfeld has done something good.  Maybe finally retire at 74?

Something cool just came to my mind, I’m thinking of a WordPress plug in which displays tag selected or all images around the date of the post(s) which are being viewed.  I was just taking some pictures of my stuff now that it is here, just because it’s good to take pictures of your stuff for insurance purposes.

The spell checker is pretty useful in Firefox 2.0, just wish it was easier to add new words with mixed capitalization.

thinking outloud.

2006.10.31 – 5:44 pm PST

ignore the static on the line.

I’m sitting doing some breathing exercises and a thought process I had been thinking of before came to mind and, although I’m sure someone else has made this observation before me, I’m making it for myself.
blogs are a decentralized form of web based bulletin boards.

when categorized and tagged this information become the glue that turns these posts into communities of conversations that exist together in an open forum.

this site is a bit of a petri dish of all things.

watching my logs as i do sometimes i sure get a lot of hits for something i wrote about having an issue with a couple months ago while trying to get working properly. I’m not sure how much it’s actually helping people, but for the things i wrote about on that page, people seem to have an interest in going there from search engines.

One of the many things I despise about bulletin boards is when indexed by search engines, they many times give up information to the engine, which if browsed by a human would require you to give contact information to create an account. Why, when your most likely going to only need to use the page for 5 minutes or maybe not at all if only the search blurb seemed relevant and the content on the page is lacking immensely.

i’d like a wiki rich text wiki style interface to wordpress.

the ability to easily tag everything and form mind maps between the ideas.

it’d sure be great to be able to whip out a web enabled pda, push a key, and then instantly start inputing the free form thought into a post that is analyzed for individual thoughts, or even just sentances. using line breaks as seperators would be simple solution to real logic. later being able to expand upon each idea as needed.

an exoself. i’m slowly reading mind performance hacks.
i think dave’s OPML editor would be a great addition to mine, but I still can’t seem to get it happy in Wine.
free form organization.

modular information.

server side logic transforms

plain text microformats which add features like post rating, comments, polls, to individual posts, pages, tag group selections, etc.
features use formated templates to allow visual artistry.

blah.

i dont like links and addresses. changing a url is difficult. i hate using tcp port 81 to host my website.

comment support working again.

2006.07.28 – 6:30 pm PDT

OK, I believe the comments should be fixed now and OpenID should also be working too. Using my own livejournal account, it works fine.  I would appreciate it if you have a chance to please try and leave a comment with your own LJ account or working OpenID setup.

stupidity

2006.07.24 – 2:30 am PDT

i think i just figured out why my tags have been screwed up. having ultimate tag warrior, and jeromes keywords, activated at the same time is bad. it was so bad, that I couldn’t tell really why, but it was odd, that some tags/keywords worked, but only the ones which was a keyword and also a tag. ohwell live and learn.
I also need to figure out why the feeds are not working for tag urls.

earthlink reader update.

2006.07.17 – 4:06 pm PDT

Well, I don’t think that Earthlink should say it will take 10-15 minutes when it has been several days now since I last uploaded my opml export from bloglines. I would like all my feeds to be there please. Here’s what I got when I uploaded it again.

“We already know about 42 sources, so we’ve added them to Your Sources. There were 39 sources that were new to us, so we’ve sent our little robots out over the internet to go fetch articles for you. Give them about 10-15 minutes to retrieve everything, and you’ll have all 81 sources from your OPML file available.”

Also I noticed that my blog, managed to now have two ID’s in their system. 2007, and 4039. They aren’t checking for unique sites in their feeds database I guess? Could this be why I have been getting hit twice each time the earthlink robots come to my site?
