  • @skyrocks Eh….yeah. I recall that. #
  • Installing the new Disqus on Hell Yeah Bitch! .com. If this would have come out with a good API a few months ago it would be on ToastedRav. #
  • I’m going to write about this tomorrow, but the new mobile address for ToastedRav.com is http://toastedrav.com/m #
  • @kgreenbaum 10 out of 10. Take that middle schoolers! #
  • Uggg. Making developing a poll script is boring and I don’t want to do it. #
  • I think I need to go to lunch and try to pick up a copy of Madden 09. #
  • I hate hate hate OS X’s DVD Player app! #
  • @skyrocks Yeah thats what I use…but if I forget to tell DVD Player to not autoplay, it always starts and crashes on me. #
  • @skyrocks hellyeahbitch.com I’m guessing you saw this coming right? #
  • @skyrocks I think FB IM support in Adium is just waiting for FB to standardize their IM and open it up. #

EA Believes in the Rams

August 12th, 2008

Buried deep in Yahoo!’s review of Madden 09:

Odd little note: My first simulated season in franchise mode has the Rams going 13-3 and losing to the Patriots in the Super Bowl. EA believes in the Rams.

At least someone that’s last name isn’t Linehan does!

…seriously, I need to try and find a copy of this game tomorrow.

Hell Yeah Bitch! .com is Rocking Disqus Comments Now

August 12th, 2008

Since moving my personal blog to Wordpress, I’ve found that is (2.5-2.6) is the first release of Wordpress or MovableType that I’ve been really happy with…except for the commenting system.  It was boring, and had really no features and was a bitch to edit or play with because of the crazy Wordpress code (that and the whole freaking reason I’m using Wordpress is because I want to come home and NOT have to code a blogging platform!).

Disqus has been an option for a while, but the fact they “trap” your comments didn’t sit well with me.  Today they released their big 2.0 version, and finally I’m on board!  The comments pass through to Wordpress, and I also get all the fancy Disqus features, all with the ease of a Wordpress plugin.

Note to the Disqus guys: I would have loved this for ToastedRav.com but I’ve already written my own system that I like a lot…however, if you get your API up and documented, I or more likely other big sites in our corporate group could take a hard look at you for sites that don’t revolve around comments like ToastedRav does.  You gotta get that API up though, so I can recreate this great Wordpress functionality in our custom environment!

Note: ALL of the old comments are missing until they are exported fully into the Disqus system.  Suck.  Hopefully it will be done and they will all come back soon.

  • @iChannel Thanks dude. Now that I’ve won the award, I plan to take a sick day tomorrow! Hows that for a star employee. #
