1 Hmm, I vote "parody," but it's hard to tell.  Click through to the main page and read the "Remember the Sabbath" post.  The language is over the top enough that I'm thinking parody.

If he's in earnest, then as a fundamentalist Christian myself, I'm embarrassed....

2 Note that the site claims to be a member of "Blogs for Brownback". It's a neat scam: set up a blog, claim to be supporting a particular candidate, and fill it with outrageous troll posts.

A number of commenters seem to have fallen for it and say they won't vote for Brownback because of the blog. (Chances are they wouldn't have anyway.)

The real risk is that this sort of thing will give ammunition to the McCain types who want to subject blogs to campaign-finance-law censorship.

4 Mr. Pixy,

Now that you've got minx working well on Ace's blog, you'd think there would be nothing for me to complain about.  But you're wrong!  Blockquote.  Not only is it not an option, but it doesn't work even if you type it in!

<blockquote>Hello.</blockquote>

See?

Other than that though, it's a fine job you've done.  Don't tell anyone I said that though.  I'm a contrarian, and would hate to screw up my image of being an ***hole.

Heh .

5 Yeah, the editor hates blockquotes.  But you can use the [quote] tag instead.

6 Groovy. Or whatever hip phrase the kids are saying today.

GROOVY!

Ok it works well!  I apologize for not being capable of congratulating you on a job well done, but as I've previously stated, I'm a complainer.  So why won't minx clean my house?  Even light dusting seems beyond minx's capability.

Just sayin'.

8 Aside:  Can we use all bbcode?  Sheesh, I said 'aside'.   As if any of my comments are anything other than 'asides'.

9 Yep, pretty much all BBCode will work.  Here's a guide.  It's incomplete, but it will do to get your going.

Just a heads up.

I put up another of the Pretty Sammy omake. (I deleted the two other ones I'd put up previously. No sense chewing up a lot of space with that stuff). This new file is about 65MB and it uploaded without a hitch. Still can't puzzle out why video plugins won't work though. Maybe I'm just not specifying enough parameters in the html.

11 Cool.

I'll be adding a Flash video player next month, and hopefully that will work better.  Otherwise I'll have to start looking at Minx's file serving module.

12 The sun is not God!

"...DailyKos will spontaneously combust."

And that would be a problem because...?

once again pixy, I'm sorry.

Major lag at aces.  Not lagging out, but this might be a presaged situation where you can monitor exactly what happens.

could it be that so many comentators (which I learned is the proper term) link video and that your overlay query's those video's, and that ace's front page is so large?

No offense to the VRWC hadeen like vince and stuff, but their comments are generaly text built and unfortunately excecively racist, though I think the sites are awesome.

Back on point.  Is it that Aces place tends to attract too many links/embeds?

I remember when I would querry my character for every piece of code I wrote, I ended up freezing my area's when I was a mud "wiz" (once again I know it's nowhere near what you do, and as in nowhere I mean as in the place that you call nowhere, has a guy who can tell you "OH! wickedpinto? he's in the middle of nowhere" sort of nowhere, I'm just trying to create a personal reference) and eventually it just plain got too big.

Just wondering.

No, that shouldn't matter at all.

Anyway, I checked in at Ace's and everything seems to be fine.

4 I think I know what the problem was this time: One of the other
 mu.nu servers was overloaded and very slow.  Ace's comments page includes a list of mu.nu blogs - and that list comes from the server that was running slow.

I fixed the other server before taking a look at Ace's site, so I didn't see that happening, but that's probably what it was.

5 cool thanks.

Aces has been freezing for the last 20 minutes.

I don't know if it's me or you.  just saying.

7 I think it might be you this time.  All six comment processes are running okay, and both the main page and the comments came right up for me.

8 sorry to harrass you like that pixy.  Thanks for being interactive.
