A Good Imagination and a Pile of Junk

That little block of nonsense has changed (improved) the way I write software more than any single other thing.

Must Conservatives Rally Around The Messiah?

No — because the left’s vision of “unity” means surrender in the war of ideas.

Several associates of mine, aware of my red-state predilections, approached me after the black day that was November 4 and demanded my allegiance — I’m serious — proclaiming, “He’s your president so you should stand behind him.” I thanked them but rebuffed their suggestion. As mentioned above, none of these individuals ever saw fit to do the same for our 40th, 41st, and 43rd presidents, so by what precedent should they expect special treatment for their Barackstar? None of which I am aware. Their hypocrisy is hardly surprising.

Yeah I’ve gotten this routine myself a couple times.  The problem is it really SHOULD be surprising.  We SHOULD be living in a world where hypocracy of that depth is laughed out of public discourse.  But it’s so fundamental to the newspeak of the left that it won’t happen for a very long time.

Regardless of the answer:

When is the last time you added something to the world?

UPDATE: I was being largely rhetorical but people are starting to actually post answers so I’d bloody well put up:  Last thing I added, frankly, is the restoration of 1800 otherwise inaccessible previous posts and writings through a piece of code that may or may not be useful to other people.  Today I am working on creating a partition of this site where it (and other things) will be posted.

So I looked at the web logs (not to be confused with weblogs) and the search engine crawlers seem to have found my 1785 new posts and done a collective “WTF!?!”

My random google engine hit count ought to start crawling up a bit over the next while.

I am kinda surprised that the entries that were added via my script all have “comments disabled” which I think I’m going to have to go in to the database and manually fiddle with.  Aksimet does a damn fine job of catching the crap, so there’s really no reason, especially if I’m adding wiki cross-linking to this stuff to invigorate it a bit, to prevent commentary.

So I’ve spent the last couple hours farting around with some perl code that I ripped against an archive of the old “Universal Church of Cosmic Uncertainty” posts and uploaded them in here.

So now there is almost double the post-count that there was about 3 hours ago. They’re all interleaved in time appropriately.

I really didn’t have the motivation to port the comments over. It would easily have tripled the coding task.

I may go back and do that at some point as I have all the data. This was admittedly pretty quick and dirty.

The new (old) posts all have the ‘UCCU’ tag, much like the ancient ones have the ‘OldRadioBlog’ tag so they’ll be easy to find.
