Smokey’s House of Paincakes

Here’s Bud’s casting call to try out for Sloth in the upcoming Goonies flick!

Wooohooo! Present Day is over and I made out like a bandit! (Not to be confused with making out WITH a bandit)

Let’s move on to the gloatery, shall we?

From my Mom and Step Dad: I got a new watch (is pretty snazzy), some Borat looking sunglasses (is very nice) and MONEY!!
From my Dad and Step Mom: I got a sweater, a dress shirt, a cologne set (gotta stink good!), pajamas, obligatory socks (which is always quite appreciated), and a pair of leather gloves!
From Sandy and Sue: Tony Hawk’s Project 8!!! Woooooo! Countless hours of entertainment!
My Brother: Unknown. He says he’ll drive down and bring it to me. I’ll believe that when I see it! ;)
From Ben and Jess: An awesome Christmas card where he calls me an old man. He must be ancient then!!

That’s what I got, what did you get???

Matteo commented on one of my previous posts wondering how I was able to get the Links section to display properly after upgrading to the widgets sidebar.

So, I figured I’d share with all, just in case you too want to make the switch.

Basically, it’s a fault in the widgets.php file itself.

If you look in the file, you’ll find the following section of code for the links:

function widget_links($args) {
	global $wp_db_version;
	extract($args);

	if ( $wp_db_version < 3582 ) {
		// This ONLY works with li/h2 sidebars.
		get_links_list();
	} else {
		wp_list_bookmarks(array('title_before'=>$before_title, 'title_after'=>$after_title));
	}
}

This needs to be changed to:

function widget_links($args) {
	global $wp_db_version;
	extract($args);

	if ( $wp_db_version < 3582 ) {
		// This ONLY works with li/h2 sidebars.
		echo $before_widget;
		get_links_list();
		echo $after_widget;
	} else {
		wp_list_bookmarks(array('title_before'=>$before_title, 'title_after'=>$after_title));
	}
}

To allow your sidebar styles to be properly applied to your theme. Notice the echo $before_widget; and the echo $after_widget;. These are the key to making it compatible. I’m surprise this wasn’t actually done in the widgets plugin in the first place, since many of the other functions have them.

Oh well, maybe it’ll be fixed in the next version!

So I finished Gears of War last night and like all the reviews say, it was a short game. Still, it was quite entertaining none the less.

Now, I would like to replay it again on the more challenging settings (Like Insane!), but it would definitely be more fun replaying in Co-Op Mode. (And I’m sure easier too! I real life person would help out more than the computer aided. God-damn why can’t they throw grenades??!?)

Here’s the reason why Mac only has 5% of the market share!

Update: Link is now working!

I really really really do! Christmas rocks. I gotta make my yearly trip to Value Village to pick up my Red and Green Reindeer sweater that I can wear around the house while drinking hot choco!

Christmas has a darkside though. I find the more Christmases you spend alone, the more depressing everything becomes. I’ll keep trying my best to remain cheery though, but sometimes it’s hard to do.

I think Jack White and Jack Black should put out an album together! It would the awesomest totallalaly album ever!

I finally did it! I got my rss feed to work within a Wordpress Page! You’d think that would be easy, wouldn’t you?? But noooooo, this was fucken annoying to setup! My first order of business, my Think Geek Wishlist! Woo! Now, if anyone if feeling extra generous one day, there’s where you look! I’ll be posting how I set this up too, because I looked EVERYWHERE and the only tutorials I could find about RSS and Wordpress where about your own feed! Once I fine tune it a little though, then I’ll release it!

On another note, I just looked at my archives list, and I’ve been blogging for 1 year now! (Well, longer than that, but one year with Wordpress. Wow, does time ever fly!)

Anywho, payce!
