The date stamp FINALLY shows up the way I want it to!
that only took...weeks...Christ...
Now I just need to find some widget (which is a stupid word, for the record) that shows the last comments received.
Perfect example for this new found widget obsession:
I noticed that Amy K. (who I learned a new illegality from) has been here and if I wasn't screwing around with this layout every five seconds, I wouldn't have known that she left more than one comment.
I can't have that.
I don't want to miss what anyone says.
and further for the record, it's really good to see you here, Amy K.!
So the widget hunt is on!
Oh, by the way, TrodoMcCracken - it concerns me that you make me laugh. A nun, a gun and a dog should most likely, never be in the same picture together - unless it's one of those, "which thing doesn't belong" ones.
though, I admit it - I'm totally amused that you're writing hate mail to everyone...
leebo - you weren't seeing things, I was over there recently. I loved the Buddhism post. I have a Buddhist post to write as well, I should do that soon.
Okay, it's more like how I couldn't be a Buddhist and that's just one line of the entire post. Does that qualify? Probably not...
This post from The Monster Apathy still makes me laugh. And if you're not already doing so; The Toy - follow him on Twitter.
Really, how can you not love any guy who puts my name before BDSM on his site.
I must also mention duzins who has quite the impressive 'about me' section on her page - and DJ Dab who called my journal eclectic.
and I'm going to take that as a good thing, no matter how it was meant! laughs... it was MUCH nicer than saying, "wow...what a fucking mess it is over there! What in God's name were you thinking?!"
A special mention for MaraBG who was instrumental in getting me through my ruptured disk. She's a great woman.
Sassy Island Girl has a post about baggage and I still find it funny as well.
Aside from this post, I've been up for two hours already and have done nothing constructive with my life short of picking up the living room, toying with Roadkill* and turning on the coffee pot.
Call me an over-acheiver...
A-ha! Got the recent comment widget to work too. That and the date stamp working makes this morning a good one.
ReplyDeleteLet me know when you find that widget okay and I totally agree stupid name for it..how about gadget lol...wonder who thought that one up!
ReplyDeletedarsden!
ReplyDeleteI tried three times to post this on your page and for some reason, my browser keeps dying there. It's not just your place either, I don't know what the problem is with it. I have all the updates on everything.
No clue....yet
I found the GADGET (much better...laughs) here:

Hey I had some trouble before too so I changed from explorer to firefox and have had no problem since..don't know it that would help you just wanted to pass it on too you. :-) I will check it out thankyou.
ReplyDeleteI have found my browser also dying recently, especially when trying to access Candy's Daily Dandy and......another two or three. Very annoying. But my hubby said the same thing: Get off IE and use FF. So I guess I'll have to try it and see if it makes a difference.
ReplyDeleteAnd although I don't have the nerve to communicate directly with The Toy, I'm so glad he changed his avatar. I'm no prude by it was wigging me out every time I saw it.
Of the others you mentioned that I am not familiar with, I will be moving my linky little butt along to visit them.
Yeah, my IE's been a bitch and a half also. Certain blogs it just doesn't like at all. I ended up having to go to Firefox for a few days just to read. *sigh* After a few days, IE was working fine. Lasted about a week (more like a whole lot less) and now it's acting up on sites other than Blogger. It seems to hate me multi-taskin as well. This aint good because I simply cannot be doing just one thing at a time while online (Im listening to an interview, reading blogs, leaving comments and fielding emails all at the same time...). I may just have to go to another browser permenant if this keeps up.
ReplyDeleteGotta read that Buddhist post now. What fun this could be. Thanks for the recommend. I try ;)
ReplyDeleteI read the Buddhist article. That woman is amazingly tolerant! It's not often you find Jesus Loving People tolerating anything BUT Jesus Loving People. She gives me hope for our world! If only we could duplicate her....
ReplyDeleteAren't widgets like roundtoits (round-two its). Tiny little things produced a long time ago that served a small purpose???
ReplyDeleteWasn't it from economics class where people were making widgets - consumables
recent comment thing is cool but now I miss the total comment under each posting - how do I know if someone has left a new comment on an older post once the recent comment box is full????
get crackin on that one
Hey, thanks for the shout out!
ReplyDeleteAnd Ponti...wasn't "widgets" from the Rodney Dangerfield movie econ class? Or is it a general term used in many econ classes? (I have no clue...never took one of those classes!)
It is a silly word...doesn't sound very adult or techie.
okay here is a shot again at widgets....all of the following info is from the internet:
ReplyDelete(notes by William C. Waterhouse)
"Widget" is a deliberately invented word meant (probably) to
suggest "gadget". Most dictionaries fail to trace it to its origin.
It comes from the 1924 play "Beggar on Horseback", by George Kaufman
and Marc Connelly. In the play, a young composer gets engaged to
the daughter of a rich businessman, and the next part of the play
acts out his nightmare of what his life will be like, doing
pointless work in a bureaucratic big business. At one point he
encounters his father-in-law at work, and we get the following
dialogue:
(Father-in-law): Yes, sir! Big business!
---- Yes. Big business. What business are we in?
---- Widgets. We're in the widget business.
---- The widget business?
---- Yes, sir! I suppose I'm the biggest manufacturer
in the world of overhead and underground A-erial widgets.
Part of the point, of course, is that no one ever tells him
what "widgets" are.
additionally:
The term is also used to describe hypothetical products which may someday be invented, or products which are in the development stages. A developer for a car company might say, for example, that it would be nice to have a widget which stored data about gasoline efficiency for the use of the driver, or someone might say that he or she is “working on a widget” for a company. Since product naming is an extremely important step in the development of a product, the use of a term like “widget” allows people to discuss the project without forcing a name on it, and it has the advantage of also protecting product secrecy.
Whew !! I am exhausted and need to sleep after all that work. Well back to making widgets ;-)
laughs....
ReplyDeleteIt's still a stupid word!
So is BLOG!
I hate that word.
That's why I always say "online journal"...
downloading firefox...
You can set how many comments you want to show, PM. It's a really cool gadget.
ReplyDeleteI was just trying to make the right column line up. That's why I used 5. You can set it if you put it on your page though, just change the 5 to 9 in the code...or whatever you want
yeah I know not so mucha drive as a short putt...
ReplyDeletecan you fix it so your ecard doesn't obliterate anything to the right of it?????
ReplyDeleteoh wait you might kill me today for saying that.
You are busy being interrupted from doing things already so I just figured since you weren't productive you could fix that.
It is driving me bonkers
