Chicks dig it, bones heal, pain is temporary, glory is forever

August 1, 2004 at 7:22PM Stopping me from making mistakes with my linklog

I’ve done it several times so far, and I want to make sure I don’t do it again.

Sometimes, when I add a link to the linklog, I get the title and link mixed up. It’s irritatingly easy to do, and I’m sure that other people with linklogs have the same problems.

Now, it’s easy to tell them apart: one starts with “blah://” whereas the other never does. So here’s what I’m going to do: I’m going to modify the engine to detect cases where I’m being an idiot. If it can’t see a link starting with “http://”, “ftp://”, &c, in the link field, it’ll swap it with the contents of the title field and complain. Yeah, that should stop me from being an idiot.

And I really ought to work on my sister’s site...

Spammers, don’t bother posting crap down here. The site is set up so that legitimate search engines (Google, for instance) won’t index pages with comments on them. Posting crud here only means you’re wasting my time and patience. Shoo!
