A Good Imagination and a Pile of Junk

Not the emptiest, mind you. That’s different.

RadioUserland had a feature I really loved. Well… it had several (and it’s craptasticular language wasn’t one of them.)

If you typed “a phrase in quotes” it would look through all of your blog post titles for that phrase. If it found it, it would automagically turn the quoted phrase into a link.

I was shopping around for a WordPressWiki plugin and came up with something called “Blicki” which doesn’t work and hasn’t worked in some number of versions. But I figured, how damn hard can php be?

It didn’t really have much that would help and a lot of the library functions it relied on in the WordPress codebase either aren’t there or don’t behave quite the same.

After about an hour and a half I have the thing done. With the comment header it’s 66 lines from and not so bad if I do say so myself; especially considering that it’s a first php effort.

I’m going to use it as a basis for expanding in to a full blown wiki plugin, so I’m not planning on dumping it out into the world at large in it’s v0.1 state.

But if anyone’s interested in it in the meantime, lemme know. I don’t see any reason not to shoot the file over.

When the pears in the supermarket feel ‘nice and firm’ they’re under ripe.

I’m just sayin’

I wasn’t gonna say anything ’cause god, if I was wrong….

But now I’ve heard it in a few places.

“Girl attacked and mutilated in Pittsburgh”

Look, something really bad clearly happened to her, and that’s sad. But damnit who would even think that way?

Someone on another blog (ace?) captured it best: “It just smells a little too Tawana Brawley”

More from Malkin

To fake something like that is fucking sick. I don’t care what side you’re on, it’s things like that which pollute trust in a marked way and on a really vast scale.

Of course if it’s on the up and up… well…

nah, I just can’t imagine it.

UPDATE: and from this article in True Crime Report, the following:

“Police planned to administer a polygraph test to Ashley Todd, 20, because her statements about the attack conflict with evidence from the Citizens Bank ATM where she claims the incident occurred, police said.”

UPDATE: Jesus Christ. Story at Ace… and Drudge

Police tell KDKA that a campaign volunteer has now confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her and cut the letter B in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker.

The scumbag bitch needs to be put in prison.
