New site toys - spoken word and Feetnotes!

I was bored and decided to resurrect the recitals of my poetry. I think I need to re-do them, though: be a bit more dynamic.

Someone told me I sound like a 12 year old. That's not the first time I've heard that.

Anyhow, so I got two new toys working. I can now painlessly add footnotes! [[Via the Feetnotes Plugin]] I can now also speak at any entry I want, and you can listen by just hitting that nifty play button[[Added with Flash MP3Player]] over on the left.

Those with permission can now listen to most of my poetry, as well, though like I said - I need to re-record it, which I use Audacity for now. That program has come a long way.

Tomorrow... tomorrow is exciting. Yay for tomorrow!

This is just pretty damned cool. (c:


May the force be with ya’ll.

Yes, yes it is.

BTW: Which “this”?  I personally think that all of “this” is pretty damned cool. But I was curious about what you thought….


But I’m sure there’s something in a shade of grey…
Something in between…

It was an all-encompassing “this”.

Johnathan, you should have just “pointed” randomly to confuse her… could have been fun. :D


Sadness whispers her condolences; for the greatest tragedy of all is love lost.
But the greatest virtue belongs to those who will give everything to love again…
It is a test.

Well then - thank you, Johnathan.

Crimson, you’re begging to get banned.  Behave yourself. And go redesign your site already.

I’ll get around to it as soon as I can settle on a logo… and control my ADD long enough to not look at other shiny things.

If I can do it, you can do it.  ;p

I don’t think you sound like a 12-year old ;-)

Thanks, Brian. ;)

...and I can always change my name if that’s what you need…

I may actually be able to get you some freelance work (if you want it) I don’t have much time and I need to make http://www.sicksite.com really sing. I am a database guy and work on the IT side of L.A.M.P. from the ground up for the State of Colorado Air Quality webserver apcd.state.co.us (yes, server error messages actually instruct you to send me nasty emails). I know that my client would be very excited to have this site up quickly and I know so little about the EE back end.  I think he would be willing to pay $40/hr.

Give me a call and I will give you the admin username and password and you can go nuts. If you have time, I would like to talk to you sometime anyway. I want to hear your voice so I can make up my own mind about how old you sound =).

P.S. How do I get a cool quote at the bottom of my comment?

Aw, thank you for the offer.  But no - I am not going to take on any more work at the moment.  With EllisLab keeping me busy, getting Mali healthy and planning a move I just don’t feel like it would be fair to myself or a client if I attempted to split my attention more.  Thank you, though!

I’m going to edit out your number as I’m sure you don’t *really* want it on the web? =)

Create an account (the “Home” dropdown in the nav) and create an account if you don’t have one.  Then login (same place) then edit your account (same place, it’ll show up after you login) - Add a signature there and away you go. =)  You can add an avatar, too, I’m nice like that ;)

Brian - btw, while I don’t want to take on freelance work I invite you to add my AIM and I’ll be happy to try to answer any questions you may have about EE.  I occasionally offer that for people that I like, and you’re nice, so I like you.  Once you login you should be able to see it on my bio page. =)
