Future Posts

So, I did the macro thing (if you want to use them, I’ll tell you how to install), I have done the RSS thing, and now I want to do the future post thing.

I am writing this at 8:30 but I want it to publish at 8:45 9:35. Let’s see what happens.


Cool. That seemed to work. Will someone else on the spynotebook test it out and see if it works for them? At the bottom of the entry page, there is post status. Default should be set to Publish. You can change this to future and then change the time to when you want the post to be published. Every 15 minutes, a cron job runs which checks for future posts so it won’t always show up at exactly the right time but pretty darn close.

Uses? Not much for me really. But, it’s fun.

Maybe I should stop playing with Movable Type now.

Today

Happy MLK Day. Every year I think about one of the very first MLK Days that we got off. Me and the Kwons and Scott Morrison and I’m sure Amy Ragland and other high school era peeps went and had a picnic at the Botanical Gardens. I have pictures I might post when I plug the scanner back in.

Sorry to those people who have to work today (hi, :annemarie:!) but I am going to have a very lazy day at home. The most I might do is read comics, see a movie, and make it to :jocelyn:’s for dinner.

Netflix

big behind-the-scenes weekend for me on the blogs. I just added the ability to pull in RSS feeds to the blogs (not sure why yet) and so I changed the way that chip’s spynotebook netflix queue works. It now just shows the next 200 items in my Netflix Queue. Find out what a nerd I really am.

Using Macro Tags

I just installed a new plugin called MTMacro. It looks pretty simple and will allow you to define macros in your blog. So whenever I want to link to jocelyn’s blog I will be able to type something like %jocelyn% (I actually am using : but if I type that now, it would make it a link) and it would automatically become a link to her website. I think I will define the people I write about most and then others as they pop up.

It looks like you define it by template so I can’t set them up for the whole blog. But, once I have mine defined, I’ll have it available for pasting into your template. I may learn more about this later on.

Testing:

Slight Redesign

Slight redesign on the main page. Let me know if it looks OK in your browser.

I am about to go meet Hannah, Kate, and Kate for lunch at Mia Madonna.

Jocelyn is cooking dinner tomorrow and we are trying to come up with some MLK-themed recipes. Suggestions? Complaints?

Also, are there places that have long since closed in Athens that you would really want a t-shirt from? What are these places?

Today was v. long.

Got up. Went for a walk. Came home. Discovered flat tire.
Ignored flat tire for a while and put up new shelves in hallway.

Waited for Kate.
Kate came over. Took spare back off. Went and put air in spare. Came back. Put spare back on car.
Went to Sears. Went to Piccadilly. Went to Hot Topic.
New tire (nail in old). Came home. It’s 3:30 or so.
Went to Commerce to Pottery and Toy Store with Kate and :han:.
Came home. Watched TV with Sam and Kate. Very bad movie w/ Piper Parabo.

Need to go to sleep.

Flat

I walked outside just now and realized I have a flat tire. I have no spare (of course) and I now need to figure out a way to proceed. What a fun way to start a three day weekend.
