Z.Monkey’s Blog

What I have I done tonight?

• Well the blog ’should’ look a little better (I referred to Heidi on aesthetics).
• I added an Ajax comment thing… meaning you can see your comment getting posted right before you eyes with out having to reload the page.  Wooooo.  Try posting a comment because it is kind of cool.  Sorry Dan, your comment probably wont show up as every single on of you posts has been caught as ’spam’.  I always knew you were full of shit.
• Add links to other blogs for Weird Old Guy.
• Got rid of the sidebar and went with a horizontal set of links (similar to Heidi’s), because it looks less stupid.
• Added little images next to links so that tell you if you are (1) about to leave the site, (2) watch a movie, (3) read a Wikipedia article, (4) read an IMDB article and (5) other things.
• Also, if you are into any social bookmarking I’ve added nice little icons you can press add any of my posts (check out the comments section).  I use del.icio.us, apparently Xumbi diggs.

I still can’t get the goddamned spellchecker to work.  Is anyone else using a spellchecker?  If so, which one?  Also, the sidebar looks like poop.  I was going to fix it but I got distracted by plugins… did you know there is a plugin that lets you list all the plugins you use?!  Anyone have any fun plugins?  Argh, again.  Anyway, I need to figure out the PHP functions that are being called and see if I can (1) use a different one, or (2) change them to do what I actually want.  We’ll see.

I would like to say that I can supply as interesting updates as Dan, but all I can say is I had an interview at a Public Library today for a System Admin job.  I think it went well, but I’m not entirely sure.  I don’t think they asked me enough questions to deduce whether or not I would be a good candidate… maybe they already have someone in mind.  Also, I think this is the first system admin job I’ve seen where Unix/Linux experience is not necessary.  Silly billy.
