Can you spare a nickel? I’m trying to raise enough money to buy a MacBook entirely in nickels. To help, click here. Thanks!

An exercise in critical thinking and writing by Joey Day

Month: January, 2005

localhost

I’ve been thinking for a long time about how nice it would be to have my own private wiki for notetaking and general thought collection. I’d want to be able to access it offline (for taking notes in classes where I don’t have a wireless connection) and I wouldn’t want anyone besides me to have [...]

Introducing “Joey Day : Collaboration”

A friend of mine contacted me over IM with a CSS question today. Through the course of the conversation, he introduced me to an insteresting resource: “pastebin”:http://www.pastebin.com.
The premise is simple. Need help troubleshooting a piece of code? Maybe you’ve been talking to a friend over IM or IRC and they want to see what you’re [...]

What’s in a Name?

I fielded an interesting question from an LDS friend of mine yesterday over instant messenger. I’m sure this is not an exact quote, but here’s the question:
bq. I was reading in the Book of Mormon last night and thought of a question I want to ask you. You know how, in 3 Nephi, Jesus tells [...]

The Kinks

As I see it, here are the kinks that need to be worked out of this blog before I’ll be satisfied with it:
* Bring back the Edification sidebar (I like the Interpolation sidebar, so Edification may have to be moved to the “Info”:http://www.joeyday.org/info page).
* Find some way to implement Amazon links (WP-Amazon plugin?).
* Links to [...]

I’m Back!

There are still a few kinks to work out, but I’ve finally ported the site to WordPress. If you’re not sure what that is, don’t worry about it. All it means is I should start posting more often now (and replying to some comments that have been waiting for answers far too long).
At the moment, [...]

And May I Just Say…

…being married is great.

A Better Wishlist

Well, smack me up the side of my head with a rubber tuna fish. Jordan over at swirlee.org has found what I think may be “the best way to keep track of a wish list”:http://www.swirlee.org/2005/01/06/a-delicious-wish-list/ using del.icio.us. It’s so devilishly simple I’m not sure why hundreds of people haven’t done it before.

MagpieRSS Caching

Ever since I installed MagpieRSS on my server (it powers my del.icio.us sidebar links), the site loads a lot slower. I’m pretty sure it’s happening because Magpie’s caching isn’t enabled. I’d like to have caching anyway to prevent my site from overloading del.icio.us—not that it would with my piddly traffic, but it seems incredibly impolite [...]

Beautiful Day

I’m writing this post early in the morning on December 31, 2004. If I’ve set the timestamp correctly, it shouldn’t appear on the site until just as I’m saying “I do.” I’m quite positive, though at this moment I can only imagine, that I’ll be having the best day of my life.
Janene, I’m so glad [...]
