Well, I have joined the thousands of web sites that have ultimately given up on static html in favor of more convenient forms of self-expression. Sheer.us is now a index.php web site.
I don’t know why I feel that this marks me as a sellout.
It did make making a ‘days clean’ counter incredibly easy. I’m not proud of the number sitting on that counter, but..
Having taken this step, here are the next steps that I think I’d like to take:
1) Make a generic multiuser ‘days clean’ calander and export it as a resource for all those out there in networkland who are quitting something. Have some generic platitudes about what to do when you relapse/fall back down that show up when you push the ‘reset counter’ button, a field for putting in how many deuchmarks your personal habit costs you per day for those to which such things apply – I know code is already out there to put this on people’s web sites, but I still think it’d be a neat thing to do.
2) Index my entire photo collection and have the picture on the page change every time you index it
3) Include my most recent public journal entry – I’m not sure how this would work exactly, my suspicion is I would want to fetch it via RSS every few hours and keep a local copy cached. Sample code appriciated if anyone’s got it.
4) Finally get around to setting up ‘sheer radio’ – something that takes random songs, or 10 minute random clips out of jam sessions, and plays them over the wshr tuners.
Yet more projects I’ll never get around to. Just what I needed.. 😉
I’ve no end of ideas – it’s just tricky to impliment even a small percentage of them.
