Hackerific

So, one thing had always been bothering me about this theme. Namely, I can look back at posts I’ve made recently and tell you with reasonable certaintly (if only by counting) what day of the week they were made on, but good luck if I was ever going to do that with the archive pages. No, I don’t want to hear about your awesome trick for being able to calculate it based on the month, year, and whether or not a solar eclipse was happening. My solution was just to go into the template file, figure out where the date was being generated from, and adjust it as necessary. So simple, even a caveman majoring in computer science with knowledge of PHP could do it.

While we’re on the topic of the archives here, I’ve noticed that a lot of my jokes don’t “age” well. Specifically, I’ll write things that seem extremely witty or clever at the time, but then when I go back to look at them, I wonder what I was on when I chose to write that. Take for example how I ended that paragraph above. As I thought of it, my mind was all like “Genius!!” Two months from now, my mind will be saying “WTF was I thinking when I wrote that??”
