Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that over the course of the next few days and weeks I will be performing various upgrades and implementing some changes. If you experience some outages or quirky behavior this is probably the reason. Of course if its persistent please contact me in case I screwed something up :)
Also, if anyone has suggestions for my blog please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’m trying my best, but I don’t know everything :) Whether the suggestions are aesthetic or functional please share them with me!
Regards,
gasmonso

I agree Shaze :) One of the features I’m working on is to let users submit links like so many of you email me. They will then be displayed in the sidebar in a special section with a brief description. Users will be able to comment on them just like a regular post :)
How does that sound?

Oh, I’m also gonna be allowing users to submit articles for the main blog. They will held for approval of course… but trusted users will have their articles published immediately.
gasmonso
That sounds fantastic, gasmonso.
yep cool
it was getting lonely during your absence. wouldve been good if the likes of Sid etc could have posted some new articles to keep us entertained. :)
Jayman, not true. you posted some funny and entertaining comments. actually, everyone posted entertaining comments and links to news articles.
i’m glad, i am one of those trusted users:)
Howdy all,
hyrocket please define true in the context of your post. I also think you have posts and articles mixed up when you state that you are “one of those trusted users”.
Cheers

“please define true in the context of your post.” Bond, come on Simon… the truth in your post. you just defined it for me… thanks mate.
Howdy all,
In this case I think the truth may be relative to the person whose posting. Jayman may have found the website to be a tad lonely for him while gasmonso was away. Just because you haven’t found it so doesn’t mean that from his perpective that the statement isn’t true. So if you are going to make the call that Jaymans’ statement is false I would like to know how you can take a single persons statement, concerning his thoughts or opinion, and take it into a global paradigm for a universal judgment. Particullaly given the highly subjective nature of the statement.
I will admit I am probably making a mountain out of a mole hill here. I do however think the concept of truth, particullaly in a subjective or universal sense is well worth understanding. While you may beleive that you are merely making a friendly comment to the effect that it wasn’t that bad while gasmonso was away. It does highlight that your viewpoint of the reality of the situation comes only from your perpective. It does not include any allowance for other viewpoints external to your own.
On its own your one post here would not jump out at me quite so strongly but it does seem to be a reacurring theme in the points you make.
A suppose my aproach does delve into the philisophical exploration to a depth unnessecary for this particular forum and topic. I aplologise for this. I am unfortuanely feeling a tad existential today. So the exloration of universal versus subjective truth was just to hard for me to ignore.
Please feel free to ignore this post if you do not wish to answer such a large wall of text concerning a subject that has very little to do with the subject matter at hand or any real pratical application to the changes on a website.
Cheers

I know it’s been a long time in the making, but I’m back on track :) I already have the code to allow for user submitted articles/links, but I have to contend with one annoying thing… and that thing is security.
I need to make sure that any code I put up on this site is secure because I receive a regular supply of emails threatening to hack my site and/or kill me :(
Many of you remember when I was successfully hacked a while back. I don’t want that to happen again… I won’t let that happen again!
But let’s not let those freaks rain on our parade :)
Simon Bond, no need to apologize. Jayman’s statement is true.
“I would like to know how you can take a single persons statement, concerning his thoughts or opinion, and take it into a global paradigm for a universal judgment.”
I remember when RRock was here and jayman’s response to us… lol. i do admit it was funny, in a good way.
I know how Jayman feels and remember his “lonely during your absence” for Gasmonso.
i look forward to the various upgrades that Gasmonso mentioned.
i was just joking when i said, i’m glad, i am one of those trusted users:)
if anyone is trusted, i think you would take the top slot and that’s the truth.
cheers mate.
One change for registered users comes to mind, a blacklist for commenter names so one can easily filter out comments which one knows are mere chaff, liturgic or bothersome.
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
oh yes, security is top priority, though I believe the last “hack” was simply by injection? That shouldn’t be to hard to fix with a filter that allows only alpha-numeric and interpucntion.
Speaks the programming noob.
Us atheists seem to get assailed by religious loonies at times.
There was a period a few years back when every new person I met, chap I shared a house with, one I worked with, two I did some voluntary work with, was a born again (post mental breakdown in two cases) Christian who wanted to show me the light. I even got accosted twice in that year by nice black ladies on the London underground coming up and telling me Jesus loved me.
Maybe the “please convert me” sign has rubbed off since.
Beutifull text, thx!
