It works: Come and Comment

The result? Well among other things, now you can comment on my entries, should you so desire. Here's the scoop on everything that is new:

• Full-fledged commenting system with “Remember Me” support (uses cookies to remember your name, location, etc.).
• MT-style navigation bar inside individual entries, allowing you to easily move chronologically through the journal.
• Cleaned up front page, which mimics the style used by MT as well as Slashcode, PHP-Nuke, or SAFARI. Basically, it displays the first paragraph or two of the text, and then lets you go to a seperate page to read the rest. Additionally, the “table of contents” has been removed.

I may add a bit more over the next few days. If time permits, I should add XML RSS syndication very soon. Well, enough from me for now… but now that you can, why not comment?

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart; Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

I forgot to mention in my last few posts that I've slowly been moving my site over to a new design since last weekend. If you can not remember what the old design looked like, you can see it here (courtesy of Archive.org). I think this is a definate improvement over the old look. My site began with an even more simplistic look, and being a web designer, I slowly realized I was never going to be happy with this site until I switched to something less bland.

OpenMoz, OpenMoz, what to do with OpenMoz...

I've wrapped myself up in a universe again
and let the darkness quell my matchflame confidence
and unwillingly I hide the lever I must find
to release the deep the tears withheld inside
but i can't explain I can't explain
I can't make sense of the things I'm saying
    —Leigh Nash (Sixpence None the Richer), I Can't Explain

…ah, yes, I'm working on that part of web site development I always do worst at. I'm trying to figure out what to add to the front page of the OpenMoz web site (such as a graphic) that would make it more interesting once text is also added. Hrm… I'm sure I'll think of something, but what?

Feeling Uplifted

I'm diving in I'm going deep in over my head I want to be caught in the rush lost in the flow in over my head I want to go
the river's deep the river's wide the river's water is alive
so sink or swim I'm diving in
   — Steven Curtis Chapman, Dive

What a refreshing day it has been. Dive seems like an appropriate song for a day like today. As I noted before I am tired, but at the same time I feel more energetic then usual. The Prayer Breakfast was a refreshing change of pace, and the whole day was finished off with a great Lenten sermon by Pastor Walter. Being the witty guy he is, Pastor Walter found a very good way to interweave his looking into time shares with the way the merchants where taking advantage of the gentiles in the gentile's court of the Temple in Jerusalem (Mark 11:15). I guess all the merchants got jobs as time share sales people after being thrown out of the temple. Wanna buy some swamp land?

Ah, what a day. I think this was exactly the kind of dive I needed.

Hiya!

My friend Ciaran Hamilton gave me this nice script, waddya think?
