MagpieRSS Caching

Posted on

Ever since I installed MagpieRSS on my server (it powers my del.icio.us sidebar links), the site loads a lot slower. I’m pretty sure it’s happening because Magpie’s caching isn’t enabled. I’d like to have caching anyway to prevent my site from overloading del.icio.us—not that it would with my piddly traffic, but it seems incredibly impolite to ping someone else’s server every time my site loads.

I’ve gone through the readme files and tried the steps outlined for setting up caching, but it doesn’t seem to be working correctly. If anyone knows anything (or can figure anything out) about MagpieRSS, please let me know. Thanks. End mark

Beautiful Day

Posted on

I’m writing this post early in the morning on December 31, 2004. If I’ve set the timestamp correctly, it shouldn’t appear on the site until just as I’m saying “I do.” I’m quite positive, though at this moment I can only imagine, that I’ll be having the best day of my life.

Janene, I’m so glad we’ve come to this wonderful point in our lives and in our relationship. I’ve had so much fun being your sweetheart for the last three and a half years. It’s hard to imagine things going up from here, but I have no doubt they will. We’ve only scratched the surface of what lies ahead. I’m so excited to experience my life together with you.

Congratulations Mrs. Day. No offense to any of my relatives, but you’re the most beautiful Day I’ve ever known. Welcome to the family. I love you!

Interblog Menus

A “recent comment”:http://joeyday.com/2004/12/29/delicious#comments from “Winslow Oddfellow II”:http://winslowslair.supremepixels.net/:

bq. By the way, how did you get that InterBlog thinger on your sidebar?

That’s a good question. It’s actually kinda funny, since right now my “Avocation” blog is powered by WordPress and my “Foundation” blog is still running on Movable Type. They refer to each other with what appear to be identical menus, but they are almost as different as night and day.

Interpolation Sidebar

Posted on

Using instructions provided by Jon Hicks over at “Hicksdesign.co.uk”:http://www.hicksdesign.co.uk/journal/626, I’ve added a new item to my sidebar (it’s getting kinda long, isn’t it?). It’s a dynamic list of links pulled from my del.icio.us bookmarks. From time to time I’ll post links I feel are interesting, but not interesting enough to deserve a full post.

del.icio.us

Posted on

Well, I feel like I’m a little behind the rest of the internet world, but I’ve finally discovered “del.icio.us”:http://del.icio.us. Have you discovered del.icio.us? If you use it regularly, let me know your username so I can add you to my list. My username is “joeyday”:http://del.icio.us/joeyday.

A Word of Relief

A few days ago, I blogged the following:

bq.. A Word of Advice

Don’t lose your wallet. Ugh.

p. Yes, I was speaking from personal experience. On Thursday, December 9, I lost my wallet. Actually, it’s quite a bit more than just a wallet. It’s a small “zippered folio”:http://shopping.franklincovey.com/shopping/catalog/product2.jsp?navAction=push&navCount=3&id=prod114 (mine is actually blue, but the line has been discontinued and this is the only picture I can find online) that contains, in addition to my driver’s license and credit cards, my “palmOne Tungsten E”:http://palmone.com/us/products/handhelds/tungsten-e/.
