Is it me or is this January proving worse that usual? It’s probably me, or at least I’ve been known to get this ennui in the summer too. Whatever, in an effort to combat the hours of non-workage and nocturnalisms that are exacerbating the long dark stretch from post Xmas recovery into Spring, I’m adding even more features to this site. Maybe it’s actually some kind of pre-midlife crisis, the blogging equivalent of digging a hole in your back garden or building something really complicated out of matchsticks. Whatever, feel like I’ve only just started and it’ll take something drastic like some actual fecking employment from the agency to stop me.
So today I’m unveiling my new Comments Centre which expands on that little box in the top right corner of the main page. If you really like following the comments on this blog, like some kind of “lurker”, then this is perfect for you. And if you don’t then just feel comfortable in the knowledge that it’s there, expanding on the little box in the top right corner.
Again, all the coding has been written from scratch because I’m bored and have no motivation to do anything else right now. I’m particularly pleased with how the “From:” bits display. That took me a good hour or so to get right. The column needs a bit of work though. Oh, and there’s a feed, naturally. I think feeds are going to be my next project. You can never have too many feeds.
And in a really neat twist, if you comment on this post about the page it’ll appear on the page itself! How meta is that?
I know that feeling of ennui and am suffering it myself. I’d do some work on my own blog, but as you know, it’s been broken while I’m upgrading it. I’m almost through with the process – at least the last few errors have all been new ones.
By the way, in your email to me you suggested I get a Livejournal. Ironically, I’d just got one days before the update attempts began, and am now using it to keep people informed of my progress.It won’t suit my purposes for the blog (I’ve got two blogs, soon to be three, and 4 co-bloggers) but it’s handy to have around. It’s at reinderrocr and if you’re really bored, why not look at the latest error messages I posted there? :)
