I’ll be gone tonight and most of tomorrow (maybe till Sunday even… I’ve obviously planned this well) for Quinn’s wedding. You kids better behave.

I’m not making any progress on the login timeout crap. Here’s the behavior I want: by default, logins last until you quit the browser. An option to stay logged in, per browser, will also be provided. I just can’t seem to find any examples on how to make this happen. According to the PHP docs, session cookies should normally last until the browser closes. But that’s not what’s happening. And I don’t know how to fix it. Growl.

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated!

A couple people have asked about extending the logout timeout for the site. From reading the PHP docs, I was under the impression that by default, login would last until you quit your browser. However, this is not actually the case. So I’ll be looking in to fixing that. I’m also going to see if I can add a checkbox that will let you stay logged in permanently (per computer).

There’s no ETA on this though. So for now, live with the login issue. Or use a newsreader. :-P

This morning I recieved a spam message with the following text:

malton exigent mohammedan stadia velvet cougar nursery pasteur famous bump aghast compute cloister hanoverian powder claimant holyoke holbrook loci cloak behalf jam morton

I see… so you’re selling velvet cougar nursery pasteurs. Or maybe your malton exigent mohammedan needs to compute a cloister on behalf of Mr. Jam Morton.

I soon realized, however, that Mr. Clement Lockhart was simply providing me with a source list of words for madlibs! Thanks to madlibs.org…

To be, or not to compute, — that is the cougar;
Whether ‘tis nobler in the nursery to suffer
The slings and claimants of famous fortune,
Or to take nurseries against a sea of loci,
And by bumping end them. To die, — to cloister, —
No more; and by a cloister to say we end
The pasteur and the 3520 natural shocks
That flesh is hanoverian to,— ‘tis a mohammedan
exigently to be wish’d. To die, —- to cloister,—
To cloister! perchance to powder! ay, there’s the velvet;
For in that cloister of death what holbrooks may come
When we have jammed off this aghast coil,
Must give us cloak….

What ever will they think of next to fill our inboxes?

♫ Massivivid - Crop Circles

As of today, I have an apartment to move to after April 1. The wallpaper in the kitchen is painful to the eyes, but it’s pretty nice other than that. Plenty of space, pretty cheap rent. The landlord is even going to add a washer/dryer because that was the main thing keeping me from going for it (the hookups are already there, so it’s not that huge of a deal).

This place is even closer to work than my current one — it’s just a bit over The Hill, on Mt Clinton, for those who know what that means. And as much as it’s nice to split rent with roommates, there are definite reasons it’ll be wonderful to have my own place. Why, you ask? For all the wild drunken orgies, obviously.

It’s nice to have this load off my mind, and Ney will be glad that I won’t be competing against her for apartments anymore. That was just not a fun situation. Hopefully something good will come up for her too!

I suppose I ought to get back to work. Yes… work.

This is for Matthew, who said he wanted to see an entry with that subject. So… here you go.

So I’ve spent most of the day working on adding some new functionality to nanovivid.com: user accounts. I’ve been talking about it for a really long time and I finally got around to it. Now after an almost twelve-hour coding binge, most of the pieces are in place for user accounts and secure entries. Thanks to Bryan for bugging me about getting this done.

Entries will continue to be cross-posted to LiveJournal, the only difference will be that now there will be some friends-only posts (to a subgroup) and if it’s a protected entry, you’ll need to also have a nanovivid.com account to post comments.

There are still a few lose ends to tie up, like having your userinfo for commenting drawn from your profile and the ability to get a custom RSS feed for your account. But they’re coming! So go get your account. You’ll do what I said ‘cause I said it.

So I’m getting ready to eat the first thing I’ve had since breakfast. What’s that you say? Nooo, today wasn’t busy in the least. Gah. It’s kind of scary, actually… I get in this zone where I’m running on adrenaline and I forget about needing to eat. It’s about time I came down off that though. So, food. Yes.
