[Archived May 03, 2010] Benchmarking the proposed changes..
..better, worse, and the same all at once.
In my last post Changing the Tag Cloud I discussed a design decision between my current tag cloud and what data is populated and a new design based on tag usage. One item I didn't really discuss was how this would impact the site if no tags were used for an extended period of time. While this is a concern, I'm not to worried about it because I've made it configurable.

[Archived May 03, 2010] Changing the tag cloud
Maximizing it's usage, by displaying less?
It dawned on me the other day that the tag cloud is in serious need of being updated. As more and more content is being added, more and more tags are being used, so the tag cloud is only displaying a small subset of the tags used on the site. So here's my plan to change it.

[Archived Sep 15, 2009] Love letters of stupidity
The proof that stupidity runs rampant in youth
Today I have the esteemed pleasure of dealing with the wonderful kids down the street. Not that I have anything against people or these kids, they are just annoying and mostly in the way. Previous encounters they seemed receptive, open for new ideas but not really willing to go that extra mile to make the street a better place here in good ol Eastwood. But this time took the cake, ate it, and then took what was left and smeared it all the way down the street....stupid children.
