Asymptomatic

Mom sent me this picture of the new ride on top of the Stratosphere hotel in Las Vegas. Eep.

I have updated the MicroWiki code to fix a couple of bugs and add move and delete capabilities.

For those who are unfamiliar with MicroWiki, you can use it with my EzStatic plugin (or by itself) to create a wiki inside your WordPress layout that is independent from the posts/pages structure of WordPress. You can choose to use WordPress authentication (only WordPress authors on your blog can modify the wiki), integrated authentication (where every user has a password that is maintained by MicroWiki), or no authentication (like most vanilla wikis). It’s a nice and simple one-file solution if you’re looking to add user-contributed documentation to your blog. Check out my installation of MicroWiki.

I don’t know when I’m going to find time, but I need to write this new little thing. It’s going to let you attach an Amazon-style “star vote” bar to the bottom of posts in a particular category. It should also provide a way to list posts (perhaps even within a specific date range) ranked by their average vote.

Why? For Free For All Friday, of course.

Before you think I’m begging to be hanged for treason, allow me first to state that Clinton’s demise isn’t a thing that I wish to happen. I don’t want Bill Clinton to be harmed any more than I would want to be harmed myself. No, what I’m offering here is a condition.

It occurred to me today while listening to the news that Bill Clinton is an icon for Democrats everywhere. He’s a legendary figure - the guy who messed around in the highest political office in the country. He rides the persona well, socially clicking with youth groups and liberals. But that’s a bad thing, I think.

A pretty interesting classroom for learning a bit of Japanese.
