Just wanted to test a new hack I came up with for the moods.

::EDIT:: Yippee!! It worked. I should turn that into a plugin instead of hack. But just for me. There are other mood plugins out there. I don’t think anyone would want to use mine. It’s just something I like to have.

I added the random quotes to the site tonite. I only have about 5 quotes in my database thus far. I need some more. So if you know of any good quotes, let me know, and I’ll add them.

Gotta go watch the season premire of Alias. I’ve been waiting forever for the new season. Mmmmm … Agent Vaughn …

I’ve put together an editor to add quotes to my blog. I’ve incorporated it into the WordPress interface … I thought that would be the quickest and easiest way to get it into a secure area. You need to be logged in to WP in order to access it. It’s just a simple editor to add quotes to the database table I created. I don’t have very many quotes in it yet, so I’m not going to actually add it to the blog display yet. I’ll work on that tomorrow nite.

I had a little bit of confusion when I started this. I’m used to working with MSSQL syntax at work ‘cuz that’s the type of database we work with. I had to re-familiarize myself with MySQL. I just had to look at some of the other things I’ve coded and then I rememebered the correct syntax.

I still need to add the ability to edit an existing quote, but that isn’t a high priority for me right now. I’m the only one who is going to be using this … unless some other WP user out there is interested in it since it’s integrated into the WP admin interface.

Mood: accomplished

Yep … it’s about that time again. I’ve redesigned the layout of this site. I still have a few kinks to work out, but it’s basically done. Let me know what you think.

Mood: working

I’m hoping someone out there can help me out. I’m in the market for a new code editor. I’ve been using HTML-Kit for quite a while now. But I want something more advanced. I want to be able to set up projects and have customizable syntax highlighting. I use phpEd at work (from NuSphere). I’d love to use that at home, but it’s not freeware. I believe it’s rather expensive (I don’t remember how much it is). I am willing to pay if it’s good software, but I’d prefer freeware.

Tonite, I’ve downloaded TopStyle Lite and a demo of TopStyle Pro, PSPad, and Texturizer. I might try out PSPad a bit more. It’s closer to what I’m looking for.

So my dear readers (do I even have any regular readers? LOL) … I’m looking for recommendations for code editors. Anything and everything. Okay … maybe not anything. Just good ones … LOL … usability-wise. Freeware or paid software. I want to find something that I’ll use for a long time (and if it’s really good, I will shell out the money … if I have it). Thanks in advance for anyone who gives me any recommendations.

Mood: dorky

Yep … I’m a sell-out. I’ve placed Google ads on my Dale Jr and Chance 2 websites. I don’t know if I get enough traffic to actually make any money off of the ads, but it doesn’t hurt to try. So far, I’ve just got it on the main page and in the forum of both sites. I need to add it to the other pages yet. I’ll probably do that this weekend.

Right now, I’ve got the ads at the bottom of the pages. I don’t want them to interfere with the rest of the site. I may move them up in the forums, but I’m not sure. I’m definitely gonna keep them at the bottom of the rest of the pages of the site.

I’ll leave ‘em up for a while and see if I get any click-throughs and make any money. If they slow down my site, I’m gonna remove them. And I’m only displaying text ads. I don’t want any image ads. I’m sure those would slow down the site.

Does anyone out there reading this have the Google ads on their website(s)? How are they working for you? I’m just curious. I hope no one has any horror stories … LOL.

Mood: tired

If the date line around here looks kinda screwy today, don’t get worried. I’m working on trying to fix my Weekday plugin.

Mood: confused
