So this night, I have done another nice hack on this blog - english locale. Works fine for english articles. Just add some javascript to article and whole blog is in english.
Overall in last 3 weeks I have done>
trackback - it's not very useful, cause who would link me HERE? The slovak blogosphere is very losely connected...but anyway, it's like technical gadget, you simply must be on edge and have it ;) . I use haloscan, and the code must be manually inserted in article (what is not a problem), and rewritten (what could be... better :/ manually rewriting isn't what I think about 21st century computer technology, but it looks like I can't do much about it). If I had access to server side, I could integrate it in blog operator in one button, what would be great...
category MOVIES - this is kludge like from textbook. It costs me more than I probably get out from it,(but I want somewhere movie roll. Looks like I will rewrite in soon
tagging - this is... absolute THE BEST. The delicious is great and it's tagroll is simple, clever and easy. Not to mention bookmarking. So I added tagroll to my blog.
tagging own articles - kind of leap in future, the best idea I had. Don't get me wrong smeblog is good, but it's technological in past. Most of services on Internet are web 2.0 and those that aren't, are digging their grave. Most of slovak users have no idea, so it doesn't matter, but those who have, it's all like.. "gosh, why are you riding a steam engine??" The idea of using extra account on delicious was the perfect solution, integration of blog and tagging, kind of my best idea of this year (i probably won't surpass it)... it needed small hack because there's no place for integration own rolls, but otherwise it's elegant solution...
with tagroll I came across playtagger, ingenious solution for playing mp3... You don't embed, you just use in html source normal mp3 links and script recognize the links and you can play them without leaving page! Not to mention the mp3s are loading only when you want to play them, and when browser don't support javascript... well nothing happen - the link is still there. This is Web 2.0.. Simple, clever... But... smeblog redirects links in right column so the play tagger didn't work... THIS SUCKS!!! And mainly because there IS category what you are listening... I hadn't waited for "full support" and ... played on my own with script... To my delight, it worked! My first javascript... well I modified it. And it worked on redirected links. God, I really like my blog here. Mainly because most of best things I made myself. It plays mp3, it can tag mp3, has trackback, all categories I want, articles are tagged (yeah, I am really genius)... and well it has some stupid discussion, which although has some some good points, as whole is quite a failure... Most of articles simple don't need any threading or the karmic evaluation of writing people. Who cares? It should be neat, simple, just chronological and if people would have avatars, it would look 10 times better. Still ... it's hundred times better that internal discussion.
well, and now, The fargas.blog.sme.sk proudly presents "the english locale"... it works (after whole night of playing with replacing).. I made also one general script for others, mine like by play tagger is a bit customized.. :) and the locale is bound to article, so english article - english locale, slovak - slovak locale. If by any accident you are sme blogger and want to use the script add this on the end of article (of course in html code of article: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://blog.sme.sk/blog/834/31040/locale_en.js"></script>
I think I can call it a day... or night.. or whatever...
