Linking back and related entries

Posted by tabulas at 12:07 PM on January 6, 2009 in General News.

For patron accounts, I've added one new feature: linkbacks. Any time a Tabulas user posts an entry that links to a particular entry of yours, you'll see it appear in the comment view of a page. This will help you discover who's talking about your entries on Tabulas, and it is a way to encourage you to link to other's posts as well!

I've also started processing Tabulas entries for the "Related" entries feature - for those of you who don't know, this is a magical feature which will try to find "related" entries that you've written. Sometimes it's accurate, sometimes it's not. But it's fun to see what entries will show up

Related entries are processed nightly, so you may have to wait a bit to get related entries. All patron account should have had their entries processed, though.

Quickish update lists lists lists

Posted by Saatje at 04:54 PM on January 4, 2009.

I don't feel like editing anything on rant. I actually haven't read it yet but i'm still sleepy and delirious. Its been less than ten minutes or maybe a little over ten minutes since i last wrote it anyway.

Anyway i wanted to jot some ideas down. I have to come up with fundraising ideas for my alternative spring break. This shit costs a lot of money that i do not have. It's stressing me out. 


What's stressing me out more is not having a direction in life right now.


So temporary to do list:

  • Start writing stories again, you are actually inspired. Stop bullshitting yourself
  • Learn how your camera works its about fucking time
  • Look into learning Japanese
  • Learn French
  • Practice your Dutch
  • Fucking email people back for crying out loud. Stop being a douchebag emailer and be more responsive.
  • Be more organized so you can stop being a douchebag emailer.
  • Get healthy look into vegetarian cooking so you can actually eat decent food for once instead of loading up on carbs.
  • Prepare a list of films to watch and watch them!
  • Get through your book list and pay off your library fee fuck buying books. You need to save money.
  • Save money
  • Pay off credit card bill...am i possibly a shopaholic?
  • Think on it and cure yourself of shopaholic tendencies.
  • Stop making lists their for pansies.
  • Refer back to said pansy list.

Religion is being forced down my throat

Posted by Saatje at 04:39 PM on January 4, 2009.

and i'm not sure if i buy it anymore.This in itself is hard for me to deal with because i grew up in such a religious household. When i was younger not so but i guess the older my mother got or the more unsure she was of things she turned to God. The thing is its not that i don't believe, what i don't believe is my parents way of practicing. When i say parents i mean those who helped develop who i am. My mother prays out of fear, my grandmother prays out of fear, my father prays when its convenient and my godparents do not pray.

I am a good person and i am not tooting my own horn when i say this. It's a fact. What stuck with me i guess you could say is the positive aspects of society. Those that are heavily influenced by faith because you know a lot of people really are dependent on establishing morals this way. Anyway a lot of the things that i retained from when i was younger stems from godparents. The atheists in my family. They have taught me to love differences and unconditionally so and that that love is sustainable. My mother has taught me discipline and fear. I remember praying when i was younger and going through the motions and wiggling extra hard. I remember getting sleepy during qutbah's because they were in Arabic and i did not understand. Everytime my mother translates something for me even if its in a language i do comprehend she stresses the negative aspect. I guess there is little positive to verses that are suppose to instill fear in you.


Religion can be a psychological mind fuck but my faith has taught me some amazing things. I will not renounce it or anything. I just do not believe in the manner my parents do. To them this would mean that i do not believe because i do not practice. But why should i practice out of fear? I want to be able to go to a Masjid and not fall asleep. My mother ordered me to go with her to the Masjid tomorrow. Which in my mind is an automatic hell no. First because telling me you promised people that i would be there without asking me does not make me want to go anywhere. Secondly I don't want to awake at 11am and fall asleep in a place that is not as comfortable as my own room. Third i am too fucking old to be told what to do. She had the nerve to tell me that she let me go out with my friends and therefore i am obligated to go with her to the Masjid. Apparently i refused to go tonight...i was not asked but if i was i would have refused. That is all she got correct. Also my birthgiver had the nerve to tell me that i have to go because my grandmother is leaving for New Jersey soon and i will not see her in a while. Fuck that, i don't see what that has anything to do with going to a Mosk. I don't want to go and i don't see why she feels the need to force me to do stupid things like that. I even told her that i would not be receptive to the lecture because its not done out of my free will. I'll fall asleep because i don't give a shit.

Also while im on this rant my grandmother whenever she sees me praying AFTER YELLING AT ME for such a long fucking time tells me that she loves me and that God loves me and that how i should try to be closer to God. She constantly mentions how God is my friend and i should embrace him more or some weird figurative shit. The figurative message gets lost in translation but it sounds just as strange when not translated.


So to end this rant it is 3:38am. I am exhausted, sleepy, a little delirious and not in the mood for a religion. I refuse to wake up early.

I need a hug!

Ok I Caved I Have New Years Resolutions

Posted by Saatje at 04:51 PM on January 2, 2009.

I'm having a really hard time compiling a list of goals for this upcoming  year.

Here are some i have to discipline myself to do regardless:

  • Study more- get that 4.0!
  • Not let school stress me out or people
  • Make time for fun- see my friends more often.

I've realized that this past year i have been really unhappy because i let things get to me too much. I take people dissapointing me too hard. I have a good bullshit meter but i trust too much. I used to just go with the flow and have fun but now im so cautious and judgmental. I keep trying to not get hurt when really im busy being so cautious that i am not enjoying myself and am neglecting my friends. I hate it. I miss my friends but things feel akward with this specific group im talking about. I need to be more easy going and judge them less harshly because im hurting people i care about.


I guess my New Year resolution really is to not let negative shit phase me. Even my birthgivers bullshit and the ones i create for myself! I know what i really need to do but i cant do that until im happy. Happiness is all in the mind right? So i need to adjust my mentality a bit so i can also be phsyically happy. I need to eat better too. I have to start taking vitamin supplements because i am not getting enough nutrients. Being a vegetarian on my university campus sucks. So i need to assess this asap. I cant let my health deteriate.

A lot of other things should fall into place.

I need a hug!

Hit logging

Posted by tabulas at 01:35 PM on January 2, 2009 in General News.

One of the bigger complaints I've gotten about the control panel redesign is the lack of accurate hit logging. To that end, I've added back one of the more popular features for patron accounts: viewing your recent visitor traffic logs.

Because of server limitations, you can only view your last 72 hours worth of data, but the data it provides should give you a better idea of where your traffic is coming from.

Check it out in your control panel.

New gallery management in control panel

Posted by tabulas at 02:03 PM on December 21, 2008 in General News.

Hey everybody,

I've put the finishing touches on an update to the gallery in your control panel - I always felt the new gallery was more confusing than the old one.

This new one should be a lot simpler to use - and it will allow you to manage your images more efficiently (without having to edit each image individually!)

Please let me know if there are any problems.

I hope all of you are having a fantastic holidays.

- Roy

Rachel Liang Wen Yin - Love Poem

Posted by dodozhang21 at 11:52 AM on December 18, 2008 in chinese, multimedia.

[Recommended] Rachel Liang Wen Yin - Love Poem (Released December 12, 2008)

 

With her acting role in the Taiwan blockbuster "Cape No. 7", Rachel Liang Wen Yin has been getting more and more attention, and the Taiwanese singer/actress is releasing her debut album "Poems of Love" on the strength of the movie sensation.

But Rachel's reputation isn't just about the movie; she has long been considered a singer with huge potential to make it big. After winning an aboriginal singing contest, she landed a brief spell in the wildly popular TV show "Blackie's Teenage Club". Later she enrolled in the hit talent show "One Million Star" and the finalist received rave reviews for her flawless, penetrative voice.

The album features the first plug "The Most Blissful Thing" (Track 1), "I'm Not As Brave As You Imagined" (Track 6), "Peppermint and Nail Clippers" (Track 2), "Poems of Love" (Track 10), and "At First Sight" (Track 8), which is the Chinese version of Boyzone's latest single "Love You Anyway". [Credit : YesAsia.com]

I've been waiting for Rachel's album to come out and now it's finally here. She's my favorite among the finalist of " Xing Guang Bang Season 2." This is a good album if you're into ballads.
