True Tears – A new blog header

Monday, March 31st, 2008

I don’t have much time to write about True Tears at the moment. However, I felt I had to do something in remembrance of my favorite character. Hence, the new blog header.

Now that this is over what we need is a show titled Magical Girl Lyrical Noe. Actually, I’d settle for a Noe centered sequel though.

Ha! – The original post title for this was “A knew blog header” … I meant “new” header. Oh well, it isn’t like it’s the first time.

Situation abnormal…but that’s normal

I had missed the last few posts over at Karmaburn due to being busy. For Evirus to have three posts in two days is end-of-the-world type stuff. I had to check CNN to see if we weren’t under some type of Cloverfield attack. The good news is that there isn’t a giant Godzilla type monster attacking New York; however, the bad news is that things aren’t exactly peachy either.

It appears Karmaburn and アニ・ノート decided to implement a plugin that allows for them to order their categories from oldest to newest. This is all well and good, but what about we that utilize tags?

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: tag asc
Description: Set tag order to ascending
Author: author
Version: 0.1
*/
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'order_set_ascending' );
function order_set_ascending( $notused ) {
	if( is_tag() ) {
		set_query_var('order', "ASC");
	}
}
?>

I used my l33t skills to edit the plugin to do tag ordering instead of the categories.  I’ve emphasized the relevant code.

As long as we’re on Cloverfield, that movie almost made by barf. I couldn’t make it through the entire thing. It appears I have what some have discribed as CBS (Cloverfield Barf Syndrome).

Sorry, no Merry Christmas post this year

Tuesday, December 25th, 2007

I refuse!!!

I refuse to do an obligatory “Merry Christmas” posting.

NOOOooooooooooo!!!

Ain’t gonna’ do-it. No way. No How.

You can’t make me.

I have free will. I think, therefore I am.

. . .and I am not going to do it.

Everybody thinks that just because they have a blog they are required to do a Merry Christmas post. Why? I, being the rebel that I am, will not be doing a Christmas post this year. Heck, I may not even do one next year either.

How do you like that? Yeah, feel that freedom. We’re breaking the chains of conformity.

As long as I’m posting today I suppose I should say Merry Christmas to you guys that read my blog.

Merry Christmas, people who read my blog.

Upgrade to 2.3.1

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

Okay, I decided I would try my first wordpress upgrade today since it’s been bugging me about a new version for a while now. Supposedly, it has something to do with a security and bug fixes (more here).

Everything went smoothly. It took far less time to upgrade than I thought it would. At any rate, if any of the three of you find something is not working with the site then let me know.

later,

The new chibi no nothing, same as the old chibi no nothing: Welcome to the massive sameness

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

I was surfing the internet the other week and got the urge to buy a domain and web space. Don’t ask me why, I have no idea. Maybe, I just thought my credit card bill would be too small this month. I donno.

My old anime blog “chibi no nothing” will continue here under the new name “far away no where.” I thought I would keep the same layout with another nonsensical name. It’s how I roll.

There was a small amount of apprehension on my part with regard to moving over to wordpress. Coding PHP isn’t too difficult. For that matter, the hardest part of the change over has been the formatting in CSS. I managed to get the default layout to mold into what I wanted. I also added those little IPtoNation flags to the comments because they’re friggin awesome.

What should you expect? For my readers–all three of you–it’ll be pretty much the same with the exception of me being able to add whatever the hell I want to the site because I own it baby!
