where wave meets particle No Simpler than this: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 <#>> 22:51  Radio  almost threading    Asc Mo ok! i got the missing ui tweaks in and worked out the how to maintain links between posts really simply. too bad i have a bug in the basic renumbering routine. # 18:38  Radio  quicker? symetrical assertion    Asc Mo this was so pretty that i'm not sure that there is not a built-in to handle it. didn't see one in many examples... anyway, here's the "pretty piece of code of the week" :) bundle { //assert path to day  if !defined(adrblog^.dates.[year].[month].[day]) {   if !defined(adrblog^.dates.[year].[month]) {    if !defined(adrblog^.dates.[year]) {     new (tabletype, @adrblog^.dates.[year])};    new (tabletype, @adrblog^.dates.[year].[month])};   new (tabletype, @adrblog^.dates.[year].[month].[day])}} is there a better way? <#> 18:34  Radio  datestamped permalinks    Asc Mo distracted myself into smartening up the perma-links. i wanted the link-title to tell you what i know about the post. i think its important for one to be real about whats being published. for example i know that there are a few posts that i want to 'tone-down'. i have my max.link.note.(*) and will probably use that. i want the weblog to reflect when i made the edits. i think thats just fair.. especially since i have the ability to insertpostsintothepast now. in the process i learned that the abs() of a delta date is still a date. idiosyncratic but coercable: local {tc=timeCreated(@adrpost^.text); tm=timeModified(@adrpost^.text);}; if number(abs(tw-tc))>(60*20) {s=s+" created "+max.dates.dtRelative(tw,tc)+"."} # 14:31  LinkLog  Diary of an internet Newbie    Asc Mo Diary of a Newbie: "Diary of an internet Newbie. almost a month in cyberspace." <#> 14:16  HelloWorld  crazy dog    Asc Mo he barks at sirens, and he barks at spring. so once a year or so for a few days in a row my neighbor's dog gets a good spritzing with the waterbottle to remind that it's not alone here. another dog by my garage needs the same treatment in the summer.. and then they are usually quiet and i can leave the doors and windows open for air most of the year. we're going into the 3rd year of this 'treatment' now. one of the owners knows and approves ;) its day two. 20mins after the water.. a few yaps. so far so good. the kid in me wants to get a super-soaker.. but a regular nozzled bottle is fine. the poor dog of course is just feeling spring come on and is rebelling against the in-attention its getting next door.. i'd hate to be in its position and be made to shut up. <#> 13:16  Radio  integrated pop-out edit windows into the site    Asc Mo <div class=small><a title="Edit a new post in a pop-out window." href="radio://# New Post" onclick="window.open('http://127.0.0.1:5335/?e=&popout','','width=590,height=540,resizable=yes'); return false;">New Post</a></div> YES! <#> 11:23  Radio  hyperlinking posts - optimistic first    Asc Mo a new 'design-time' icons for each post. click to open a 'receiver' window. navigate to another post, click the icon there.. you have connected the two posts and will get hyperlinks between them next time you render. i think i should write that tomorrow. <#> 02:10  Radio  hoping to 'be done' soon    Asc Mo i'm 90% ready to think of the chart and symbol processing as automated. i want to anyway.. and get back to me. * need to track new for posts and touch iblog.html whenever index.txt files get upstreamed. that should keep it in sync. * sort feeds on homepage, rewrite and add descriptions to db * how to generated the xml feed for dailySymbols from its data rather than its text? #> 02:03  Radio  enhancing pop-out integrations    Asc Mo tweaked my navbar-opt-out concept to leave just the bar in place while viewing recent posts. worked over archivelinks and added a local-only link to editing recents from each day-header. this makes potentially editing my contents seem a lot easier. archivelinks now truly integrate daily symbols and give me a place to track some 'net-history' and see my weblog in a symbolical context too.
