The Captain’s (B)log

Make sure and check out my new little widget thingy over in the right-hand sidebar — it’s a plugin that shows the last 6 or so entries on my tumblr page.

I love my little tumblr account — it’s like Twitter, but I use it as a picture blog. The pictures you see on their are all uploaded from my cell phone, when I’m out and about.

The tumblr plugin code is a wonderful little bit of code from Robert Nyman — I had been working on my own Tumblr include script a while back, but was going at a from a completely different direction (I was trying to parse things server-side beforehand, and was kinda rusty when it comes to PHP). Robert apparently thought about doing the obvious thing and loading the Tumblr JSON API into an html “script” tag, and then just using JavaScript to do everything. Bloody brilliant.

Ever read a book that was so good you felt like you didn’t want to read any more books anymore?

As if there was no other book that could possibly meet the standards of the one that you just read?
