So if you want to see all my posts for this month on a single page, you can. This doesn't ship as a built-in part of Radio, but Radio is user-extensible, so you can build something like this yourself. Only, I didn't even have to bother, since Paul Novarese already had done the heavy lifting on creating a script to make the monthly archives. Paul's even made a cool how-to available, so you can add this monthly archive of posts feature to your own Radio website. If you're really feeling your oats, I'll bet you could easily make it spit out weekly archives, too. If you're a prolific blogger, you may want smaller chunks for your archives.... Hey Paul, just like we surmised, if you set the monthEnd variable to be the first of the next month, it works just fine, and you'll never have to try to remember what the last day of the month is, whether it's a leap year, or any of that other calendar-type nonsense. Now all we gotta do is figure out how to get the permalinks and the comments to appear, too...;-) 8:16:43 PM [] blah blah blah'd on this So the Electronics Department here has a little known website for their own purposes. The website consists of near-real-time weather data, much of which happens to be represented using dynamically generated images. The instruments creating the data feed are about half a kilometer away from where I work. But the data itself isn't publically available -- I asked them, since I wanted to use it for my own first attempt at a web service. No go. And I didn't want to just link to the images directly, since that could break and cause ugly broken image icons on my desktop homepage. Honestly, I do have some sense of aesthetics, even if it's a little warped. Now, thanks to Tom Clifton's nifty dynamicImages Tool for Radio, I have a very good idea of what it's like outside right now. Even though I don't have a window view from my cube. And the coolest part is I have recent weather info, and I'm not having to allow the weather.com folks to track my or anyone else's browsing info. Kewl! Thanks, Tom. 7:59:39 PM [] blah blah blah'd on this Careful there, Alwin! The placement of the parentheses was done quite purposely (just as it must be done in LISP or Scheme -- Their powers of parentheses-fu are quite strong!) to differentiate from that other kind of (more negative) activity. A New Meme? I sure hope so, Duncan. I want everybody to have an Alwin(er)log [(Al)Winerlog?]. Turn the energy from negative to positive! Turn the hate into love! Add more exclamation points!!! Zoooooom 'em if they can't take a joke!!!!! Yea!!!! Zoooom 'em!!! Or else we'll just put bees in their hair... Aaaaaiiieeeee!!! Bees! Bees in my hair!!!! 7:01:29 PM [] blah blah blah'd on this [blinked via ViewFromTheHeart] I'm not sure why, but it always creeps me out to hear someone in the next stall using their cell phone as they sit on the throne. Even worse though is when they initiate a call after they're seated... 1:51:40 PM [] blah blah blah'd on this
