Mmmm. Metadata.
Shell’s cooking up a Wordform metadata storm. Dunno if Wordform’s going to be perfect for me, but it’s sounding like it’s going to have that feel where you know it’s perfect for someone, even when it isn’t you. Looking forward to having a poke at it.
Phil, why did you link to a non-existent title? I know that the Wordform site doesn’t handle non-existent titles, but I haven’t copied the working code over to the site yet.
You embarrassed me.
Well, I’m certainly embarrassing someone, but I don’t think it’s you, exactly.
Best guess? I copied a link out of my aggregator, maybe? I sort of thought I was in the browser, since I was going back and forth trying to decide between linking the full ’bird post or the wordform.org post just in case there was someone who didn’t know where to find Wordform-stuff, but I’m fully capable of then going back to an RSS item of uncertain date to copy the link. No idea, really: it’s just like closing the garage door, so routine I don’t think about it, and when I do think about it, I have to drive home again to see whether or not I really did it (twice this week, check out the big brain on Phil!).
It’s that underlying title management — I’ve fixed in at Burningbird but not at Wordform yet. If you change a title, after you publish, it changed the file name, too. but the aggregators still have the old one.
And it’s 2:30 in the morning and I’m tired so I overreacted. Should have just laughed it off.
I do the same with the iron.
Sorry, Phil.
2:30’s a harsh muse: when it’s right, you’ve been at it long enough that all the code’s in your brain, and nothing else is, and you can dance through it, and when it isn’t right, you’ve got little scurrying thing all around you, and you can’t seem to find the one to squish that will at least let you sleep. Anyone who doesn’t know both 2:30s, and how the bad ones make your eyeballs and fingertips burn, just hasn’t tried enough.
