It brings me tremendous satisfaction to know that

anc_hide plugin for Textpattern
13 Jan, 2005
The anc_hide plugin allows you to comment out areas of a page or form opaquely; using the anc_comment tag instead of HTML comments around a block of code will hide it from the rendered output.

Why Write Interactive Fiction?
12 Jan, 2005
Joel Ray Holveck has written some nice thoughts on the subject on rec.arts.int-fiction.
Like Joel, I have never played any of the old Infocom games to completion. I played Zork I for hours and hours on the Commodore 64, but I never got anywhere. I haven’t even played that many of the more recent, shorter games in the Interactive Fiction Archive.
Workshop Wishlist
12 Jan, 2005
As soon as my workbench was complete, my mind began to fill with all the things that I can now make or attempt to make.
Shortly thereafter, my mind began to fill with all the tools I’ll need to execute most of those projects satisfactorily. The mental list grows longer every day, so before things start to fall off the bottom I’m going to start adding them here in no particular order.

Hacking the Textpattern Comments Form
9 Jan, 2005
I like the automated aspect of the Textpattern comments form, except for how darn big the Message textarea is. Unfortunately, this is not something that can be remedied via CSS, since the form size is specified in the style attribute of the textarea itself, which trumps any styles declared further up the food chain. It is easy enough to fix, however.
Hack that Form
Open up textile/publish/comment.php in your Textpattern installation directory, and head for line 183, which should look like
Apache, Gnusto, and Z-Code MIME-Type
9 Jan, 2005
The other night I came across the Gnusto plugin for Mozilla, and promptly installed it in FireFox.
The first (and only) thing I tried was my own entry in the 24 Hours of Inform contest, and I was disappointed when FireFox just prompted me to download the file to disk; no different than before I had installed the plugin.
Ripping Off The Band-Aid
8 Jan, 2005
After a week of tinkering with Textpattern and putting together a pleasing variant of the Kubrick template I decided to just go for it and throw it up at the root of my new achase.net domain.
This is not as drastic as I had been thinking. My ancient portfolio site is still on its own second level domain, as is my mishmash of a weblog.
