No cut tags

Currently, I track my bookmarks with Pinboard. I export my bookmarks from Pinboard to Twitter via IfThisThenThat. (My Twitter is then imported into my journal, the hub of my online life. Since it's a question that comes up: [twitter.com profile] semanticist wrote the import script and graciously hosts it for me; it requires a server with Ruby to run.)

Since every now and then I go on the sort of bookmarking spree that is neither neighborly nor useful when automatically shipped to Twitter, I decided that I'd do something about that.

I tweaked my IfThisThenThat task to only export the bookmarks tagged 'twitter', which will take care of most of the future situations where I might be dealing with an asston of bookmarks which I know that only I will care about.

Then, since I know my own lazy habits, I tweaked my Pinboard bookmarklet.



This opens the portable Pinboard add page (with tags on), filling in the URL, page title, optionally description (with what's selected on the page), and (my addition) automatically filling in the tag 'twitter' every time [edit: [personal profile] ursamajor's addition: as a private tag]. If I leave the tag, it ships (the default I want), but if I merely remove that tag, it doesn't. [Edit: Either way, since it's a private tag, no one else should see the tag cluttering up things.] Sorted!

On the actual day of January 1, I was mostly too busy having fun and then sleeping the sleep of the very exhausted and disrupted-sleep-scheduled to make a public note of all the fun I was having.

I was awake in time to head into IRC and join the crowd of assorted revelers. Most of the stuff, you actually had to be there for. But there was dancing and kissing and cheering and completely hilarious proposals of marriage followed by color wars worthy of Flora and Merryweather. For the record, [personal profile] dreamatdrew, most redheads really aren't flattered by pink clothing.

This bit started with Drew asking whether you could in fact take a horse through a drive-through, and continued until it reached [personal profile] kjwcode:
[23:49] <kjwcode> Azz: Booger Thing in my city doesn't allow walk-throughs, but one time while I was drunk as hell, wearing a toga, and carrying a violin they made an exception.
[23:51] <rahaeli> kjwcode: somehow i am strangely not surprised that you have done this


[personal profile] synecdochic's New Year tradition involves two songs. Just about that time, I saw a reminder from someone on Twitter that website copyright dates need the updating. Thus:

And it's one more day up in Bugzilla
And it's one more night in IRC
It's been so long since I've seen Translation
I guess I should.
