Damn, that’s pretty. Okay then:

• There was an issue with group pools and the Thumbnails enhancer (a <div> became a <p>). I fixed it.
• RIP: Flickr User Icon Enhancer ist kaput, as there is no more need for it. The user icons are perfect now. Completely and totally ideal. Bravo.
• As I always have to have my ‘Last 24 Hours’ fix, here’s a script to add a link to the last 24 hours of Interestingness to the new Explore button.

That’s really all the changes that needed to be made. This is going much more smoothly than I thought it would. And once again: damn, that’s pretty.

So I was bored at work tonight, despite my new cellphone and data plan combined with Bloglines mobile, so I decided to create a mobile version of Flickr Interestingness. Total amount of time it took me to write this: 20 minutes. I ♥ the Flickr API.

You’ve probably noticed that I’ve quit posting my photos and favorites from Flickr (quick, think of an f-word…) to the front page. It just started to seem like filler, and I am very anti-that, being someone who reads or at least skims something like 150 newsfeeds daily. The links, however, still get posted, as I always thought that sort of content should live in the main column anyway.

But pushing my photos back to the sidebar does present me with a quandary, though, in that I really enjoyed showing off my Flickr favorites in that way. I’ve always taken a wee bit of pride in my curatorial capacity over that collection of photos, and I have a love for each and every one of them. So, I now offer an Atom feed for those who really want to have their feedreaders spammed with my favorite photos. Everybody’s happy!

For those of you keeping track at home, I now have feeds for entries, comments, links, photos, and favorites, as well as for every single post on the weblog (right now: 1,042). So that works out to about, say, a billion feeds out there in the world, some in multiple formats, as a result of my daily activities.

So much for being against filler.

That code from bitprophet that makes tab key presses work in textareas was tempting me, so I made it into a wordpress plugin. Download it, or or see here for more info about how to install and activate a plugin in wordpress (this is sounding familiar…). The plugin adds bitprophet’s javascript code to the post editing page as well as the template/plugin editor.

Hello, world! I wanted a tag cloud (because, like mullets, they are just so damn sexy), and I also wanted to play around with writing a plugin, so I made it so. Download the plugin itself, or see here for more info about how to install and activate a plugin in wordpress. To use the plugin, simply put <?php echo category_cloud(); ?> wherever you want the cloud to appear. Here’s an example of its output:

Boredom brought me to create this page where you can see my top 50 150 Myweb tags as a tag cloud. This is my first project with the MyWeb API (also making use of cached_fopen_url and xml2array). I’m seeing how it might be possible to create a much richer linkblog making use of the MyWeb API than is possible with del.icio.us’s RSS feeds. I could have the full archives right here on my site and in my design. The major stumbling block so far would be that the descriptions in del.icio.us don’t import into Myweb properly. We’ll see.

Also, if you’re logged in to Myweb, click on the following link to import your latest del.icio.us links into Myweb: del.icio.us » Myweb bookmarklet. You can bookmark the resulting URL for future imports.
