I'm all for saving a buck.  And although I'm not big on political statements myself, I don't really have a problem with others making them.  That is one of the fundamental tenets of the constitution after all.  (Although if Bush, Cheney, Ashcroft and company have their way it won't be for long.  Another conversation unto itself.)  But when you start dumpster diving as your primary means of providing sustenance for yourself and your friends, you've gone too far.  That is unless you're a freegan!  Sounds a lot like "freak man" to me.  As in "you're a freak, man"!

After nearly 9 months of work, I've finally got a working commenting system implemented for PolarBlog.  So as of right now, this blog is now running the new PolarBlog V1.1 as a Beta test.  Click "Comment (X)" to add a comment.  This should allow you to post a comment on any post that has comments enabled.  When you do this it sends an email to the blog owner (me in this case).  If someone replies to your comment, an email will be sent to you letting you know about it.  Comments should appear for entries when the "Permalink" is selected and are indented a few pixels from the entry.  Replies to comments or other replies will also be indented for each message.  Thus it displays as a nested/threaded comment structure.

There are also numerous bug fixes and some other minor enhancements that are in this release.  I don't expect any major bugs at this point, but I still need to rework the installer/updater script as well as update the documentation.  Thus it's probably still at least a couple of weeks off before this will be released publicly.

How drunk and crazy do you have to be to pull your own teeth? Apparently you don't have to be completely drunk, just completely crazy!  It's very reassuring to see that after all these years, Darwin's work continues to prove itself!

12/2/04 - Moved to new "Darwin's Work" topic.

I've added this new PhotoBlog topic as sort of a photoblog within a blog.  With the acquisition of my new digital camera I now have the means to support such a venture.

Hopefully the first entry will be up within the next week.  But for this to work the way I want it too, I need to upgrade PolarBlog.  The new V1.1 adds a complete commenting system that is currently missing.  It also fixes a number of existing bugs…one of which will effect this topic section.
