It seems that Jenny is hooked too:

Oh, damn. I’m officially hooked on Graham Norton. [The Shifted Librarian]

Me too! A few of the episodes are just so over the top. I just wish there were more of them. I’ve seen almost all the ones BBCA has.

This morning I was kind of struggling with how to add in comments to my RSS feed. Radio has its own built in comment system, but I like mine a little bit more (and have plans to extend it a little bit in the near future). One neat thing about RSS 2.0 is that there is an element in <item> called <comments>. With an RSS aggregator that supports commenets you should be able to link to the comments right from the aggregator.

After digging around some, I ran into a page on How to extend Radio’s RSS generator. From that I came up with the following bit of code for user.radio.callbacks.writeRssItemElement:

on radioWeblogPost (adrtable, adrpost) {
  adrtable^.["comments"] =
    "https://ezoons.com/wp-content/uploads/imported-legacy/~gblake/rcomment.php?comment=" 
    + number (nameof (adrpost^))}

So now I just need to run a few more tests, but I think it should work.

Updated: D’oh, you’d think I know which directions the slashes should go by now.

This morning I decided I wanted to put a comment link into my RSS feed. Radio has a built-in comment feature, but that was added long after I had rolled my own. I went into the prefs and turned on comments and gave it the link to my comment system in a way that I thought made sense (and that seemed to fit in with how other things in radio work). Unfortunately, this doesn’t work and it looks like I have to dig down into the guts of Radio to make it work (which I really don’t want to do). For Radio folks out there (anyone at Userland reading?), is there an acceptable way to go about tweaking the code for RSS? Am I asking for something that’s completely insane? help help!

One of the things I like about radio is that you have such great access to the code that runs. And usertalk (the language it is written in) (at least I think that’s what it is called) is pretty cool looking. I just wish there were some slightly better overviews of how the whole thing was put together and what it is okay to touch and not touch.

Update: There are ways to do this according to Dave and Jon. I’m just not real experienced with UserTalk to be able to do this. Anyone out there feel like helping? I’d be more than willing to document it after, since I know of at least a few people who use non-Radio comment systems.

Please ignore this. Testing the comments in my RSS feed. If you read my feed and see this, post a comment.

Last night I brought my camera out with me and took some pictures. It was a pretty crazy night. Also, I’ve put our upcoming schedule online for everyone to puruse at their leisure. We’ve got some cool nights coming up with some names that haven’t been seen in a while.

Also, supposedly we’re in the lastest Improper Bostonian, though I haven’t seen it yet. If anyone finds a copy, pick up a spare one for me?

Someone went and paid for a year worth of LJ for me last night. Wow, whoever you are (I have my guesses), thanks. That makes things a bit easier. And I can now have multiple icons. So, thanks again to whoever was so kind.

I’ve always liked vodka drinks. I tend to try and not drink too much because I’m usually apt to get hangovers. The other week at the Lounge, I was introduced to Pearl Vodka. This stuff is sooo good, and unfortunately it seems that not many bars carry it. I had a vodka martini with it last night and it was so smooth. I found out the club’s been going through around one and a half to two bottles of it every week since we started up.

Last night was fun, though it felt like a long night. Both of our guests were lots of fun. I enjoyed Daniel’s set greatly, and benny was just benny. It was a great way to send him off (And he played Fury eyes for me, so my night was made).

I think I need to crawl back into bed for a bit though. No hangover, but I’m definitely still hurtin a little.

So, it seems that LJ will be starting some kind of posting limits for free (and paid) accounts most likely. I think I what find more interesting is that they will also have posting limits for paid accounts. I think it will be 3-5 for unpaid users and paid users being around 20.

I can see their reasoning, but it still kinda sucks. My big reason for using LJ is that it is such a closed community. If I didn’t forward my posts there most of my friends would never bother reading my blog.

So I’ve been wanting to put a search feature back onto this site forever. I’m always wanting to find old posts on a subject and never can. So I finally sat down and grabbed htDig. It’s not too hard to set up and seems to work pretty well. I even got the results fitting in with the look and feel of my site.
