I’ve implemented Performancing Metrics on this blog. I used the following code:

        {capture name=cats}{the_category_rss}{/capture}
        <script type="text/javascript">
            z_post_title="{single_post_title}{single_cat_title}{single_month_title}";
            z_post_category="{$smarty.capture.cats|strip_tags|strip}";
        </script>
        <script id="stats_script" type="text/javascript" src="http://metrics.performancing.com/wp.js"></script>

Instead of the code given by the system.

Got this popup while browsing today (Firefox, you are getting sloppy!): Needles to say, I didn’t click on it!

Blogsome is great. You can blog, upload up to 25Mb of images, but unfortunately, you can’t upload your own JavaScripts and use them from the Blogsome server. Or can you? It is actually possible to host a JavaScript on your Blogsome blog, you just need to be a bit tricky. If you have a script called myscript.js, and you try to Upload it using the standard Upload menu item, it will fail. Blogsome only allows files with the extensions .jpg, .gif and .png. Note well that they do not need to be that type of file, but only have that extension. I think you know what I’m going to do next, and that’s rename my file to myscript.js.jpg: leaving in the .js reminds me that this is a JavaScript file, and the .jpg allows me to upload it. Which I did. When you include the script in your template, all you need to use is: <script type="text/javascript" src="/images/myscript.js.jpg"></script> Browsers are smart enough to allow this to happen.

rentzsch.com: I don’t understand Coffee Physics

Fresh hot coffee: yum. Day old coffee: yuck. Cold coffee (day-old coffee that’s been stuck in the fridge): yum.

I’ve noticed this too: but even more so, if I brew some fresh coffee, it’s great. If I brew it, pour it over ice and put fresh cold milk in there, it’s great. If I put it in a thermos flask, and drink it two hours later, it’s still nice and hot, but no longer nice.
