Veteran's Day
My uncle served in Greece during Vietnam. So far as I know, he's the only member of my family-tree to serve since the Civil War. Somehow this makes me all the more in debt, as my family hasn't made that ultimate sacrifice in nearly 140 years (and may it be at least another 140 - for everyone).

Thank you to all the men and women who have served our country! ( Nov 11 2002, 09:49:08 PM ) News Permalink

Veterans day

Amen

Dave says it best

There are lots of little problems with Roller's UI, lots of room for improvements, and lots of missing weblogging features. Make sure the issues that are bugging you get into Roller's JIRA issue tracker. Look at the list of issues that are not yet assigned to a release and vote on the ones that are most important to you. You can also view the currently most popular issues.[Blogging Roller]

I also encourage you to vote for your most desired feature. I encourage you even more to pitch in and implement your desired feature or bug fix! ( Nov 11 2002, 02:27:35 PM ) Roller Permalink Comments [7]

Andy Oliver wants

2. Comment button - Sammy boy has them on his page.. I'm curious what kind of comments I'd get... I suppose it should be toggleable on/off because I might not like them ;-)[Hacking Log 2.0]

It'll be in the next release, Andy. I checked in code today. As you wanted, you will be able to disable comments, and you'll also be able to delete comments.

So far as online help, Dave has written a User Guide (that seems to be unavailable right now). I've scoped out "switchable themes" (mostly in my head), but I may not be able to get to it any time soon. And I think the box hosting FreeRoller is an Anthony Eden spare, desperate for more memory.

For further reading on today's posts:

Blogging Roller : Andy suggested a couple of good Roller enhancements. He asked for comments,which Lance just checked in . He also asked for some docs, here is the User Guide . Blogging Roller : Roller is certainly going strong. At the start of the week I forked 0.9.6 off into it's own branch in case we need to do a bug fix release. Since then, Lance has checked in two great new features: support for comments on weblog entries and a spelling checker for the weblog editor. Great stuff. Matt Raible has kindly opened up a demo account on his Roller install so you can try the new features.

Dave is playing around with his theme some more. I noticed this morning he has changed his color scheme. I liked the "metal" version, but I like this one too. Dave, feel free to check them both in ;-) ( Nov 06 2002, 08:12:29 PM ) Roller Permalink

And They Shall Know Me By My Web Search Hits
Danno and I have both discovered how much fun the referer list can be, spotting the odd Googles that lead to our sites. Granted, Danno get much odder Googles than I. ( Nov 06 2002, 08:23:55 AM ) Entertainment Permalink
