Last night we had some friends over for movie night, and we all sat around and watched Danger Mouse.<\/p>\nLast night we had some friends over for movie night, and we all sat around and watched Danger Mouse.<\/p>\n
I hadn’t seen Danger Mouse in years<\/i> and seeing the cartoons I loved when I was litte now continually disappoints me. So I didn’t expect much from Danger Mouse, just another thing to get nostalgic about but not actually enjoy anymore.<\/p>\n
But I was wrong about Danger Mouse. Afterall, he’s the ace. He’s amazing. He’s the strongest, he’s the quickest, he’s the best!<\/p>\n
The show is punny and delightful to watch.<\/p>\n
This morning I finally upgraded WordPress on my journal, it’s now running 2.0.1. I was very pleased with how simple the upgrade was.<\/p>\n
I’m not terribly happy with the state of LiveJournal plugins for WordPress. I used Live+Press<\/a> for a little bit, but recently just went back to manually posting in both places. When I upgraded today I asked Michael what he was using to cross post and he pointed me at LJXP<\/a> but my lj user tags wouldn’t show up. I don’t need all the bells and whistles that came with Live+Press, but I do love those silly lj user tags.<\/p>\n And that’s what I spent 3 hours working on this evening. I learned a few things about WordPress2, the first being that the WYSIWYG editor is useless for someone like me and should have disabled it as soon as I upgraded. After reviewing bits of the LJXP script I discovered that the WYSIWYG eats the lj user tag – it had nothing to do with LJXP! ARG! As a side note, I have to point out that I use wp-ljtags.php<\/a> to display the tags on WP, very simple and still works like a charm on WP2.<\/p>\n I commented all $postHeader stuff in LJXP, since I don’t want a big blurb at the top of every post announcing that it was “Originally posted on PrincessLeia.com blahblahbal.” And all the poking of PHP I did for the LJ thing helped me in the next step of the project – cross posting to Xanga. Now, I abandoned my Xanga journal in 2004 because I liked LiveJournal better and didn’t have time to manually cross post, but there is this plugin<\/a> now to post from WordPress to Xanga. It’s buggy, doesn’t properly “update” or “delete” posts, but since I do all my editing in vim I don’t really need to edit my entries via the wordpress interface unless I discover a mistake after posting. Well, since I’m using an lj user tag, Xanga won’t understand it. So I wrote the following to have Xanga Crossposter convert lj user to a simple clickable link to the person’s LJ.<\/p>\n # Change lj user tag into link Voila!<\/p>\n We’ll see how things go over the next few weeks, but I’m hopeful that it’ll all work well. Oh, and just so I don’t feel like I wasted my day and didn’t even use my new tools, here’s an lj user tag: Last night we had some friends over for movie night, and we all sat around and watched Danger Mouse.
