According to the iGoogle gadget I just made, I’ve got 1 year, 5 months and 14 days of electoral misery.
I am already so tired of this election. At the rate we’re going, we’re going to start having primaries before Thanksgiving.

Challenge from This Week: Each answer is a familiar two-word phrase in which each word has four letters. The middle two letters of the first word are “hi” and the middle two letters of the second word are “ho.” Two different phrases have this pattern. What are they?
I found three. But one is more UK than US.
RSSers, look away!
Josh (the Comics Curmudgeon) is running a “Self-Clubbing Tyler [from Gil Thorpe] Lookalike Contest”, and these are the final entrants. They’re funny and creative, but the best part, I think is the prize: an action figure of the exact scene.
I’m not sure what I did, but Extended Live Archives works now. I think it had something to do with the cache, or maybe I just had to write a new post.
But wait! <checking to be sure>
Oh, that’s odd. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. It seems to work with Safari (which I was using in my development environment, oooh, techie me), but not with Camino or Firefox.
Double phooey.
And here I was going to explain how I “hacked” the code to not include pages in the archive results. (Not like it was hard — I’m real good at following examples…)
Basically, everywhere you see WHERE post_status = ‘publish’ you have to add AND post_type = ‘post’. Sometimes there’s a p. in front of it. I made changes in af-extended-live-archive.php and af-extended-live-archive-include.php
(And by the way, I can still blog from TextMate, I just can’t edit posts there unless I want comments to be turned off automatically.)
I was following Bill’s link to Public.Resource.Org’s open letter to the Smithsonian. P.R.O. has a valid (IMO) point about the Muybridge and similar photos being in the public domain, and how there’s a disconnect between the Smithsonian’s stated purpose and their actions regarding the images. However, I went to P.R.O.’s flikr photostream of the Muybridge cyanotypes, and I got confused when I clicked on one.
