I have finally gotten around to adding bookmarklet support to the blog - which really wasn’t that hard. A bit of URL encoding via javascript (for the bookmarklet link), and then a slight modification of my entry form to scale it down a bit and pull the URL and Title of the page I’m bookmarkletting and auto-insert it into the text area. I don’t have it live, yet, as I need to do some quick editing of the page to scale it down to a small pop-up window. Eventually, though.
Trackbacking is a bit harder. I have downloaded the standalone trackback cgi (and manual) from Six Apart’s website, but an reluctant to use it. Primarily because I was to write it, my damned self. heh. Unfortunately to truly learn how to trackback, I need to figure out how to do arrays and a couple of other little functions in PHP that I’m not too sharp on, yet.

I’ve been told through IM, that I should give a few comments on some of the text links on my left sidebar.
Okay, no worries, but I’ll primarily concentrate on those items with an asterisk (*) beside them.
READ: This category contains blogs that I read on a regular basis. Included in this listing are:
Wil Wheaton - Author, actor, former Wesley Crusher, and all around good egg.
Ernie - Geek, asian, gay. Ernie writes with humour and some sort of flair that I can’t pin down. Currently working for yahoo, Ernie makes my blogreading fun, and occasionally causes me to create strange graphics.
LiveJournal - This link takes you to my LiveJournal friends page. I average 120 entries per day on this page, most from actual people. Some include the feeds from various webcomics, Wil Wheaton, Ernie, and other blogs (centralized aggregation at its finest), and a couple of communities. The actual people on there - for the most part - I consider friends.

Recently, I’ve added a few links to the sidebar.
Blog Houston is a group of bloggers who make posts dealing with politics in Houston. Most appear to be liberal. Most appear to dislike the Chronicle.
Htown Blogs is another local Houston blog site. Not much is known about the bloggers who post there, and it is apparently rarely updated (I love how their requirements for a link say “recent (within 45 days) activity,” yet they went two months without updating. It appears to be more for linking to Houston bloggers - and notifying of blogger meetup-style events - than anything else. Not a bad resource for finding other local bloggers.
