Fortune Cookie or Spam?

Mon, 09 Jun 2008 17:14:00 -0400

I love fortune cookies, there is no other treat you can find with the perfect balance of sweetness, crunch, and individual wrapping. I don’t care too much for the fortunes themselves, but lately mine have been reading a lot like spam email subject lines:

New financial resources will soon be available to you!
An interesting medical opportunity is in your new future!
Good things come in small packages. One is coming to you!

Then there was this last one. Technically I don’t even think its a fortune because of its conditional nature, if anything it sounds like a gamble:

If you go fishing, your catch will be plentiful.

The Perks of Being A Wallflower is my favorite book. For many reasons not the least of which is that it has this beautiful mixtape playlist in it:

1 The Smiths — Asleep
2 Ride — Vapour Trail
3 Simon & Garfunkel — Scarborough Fair
4 Procol Harum — A Whiter Shade of Pale
5 Nick Drake — Time of No Reply
6 The Beatles — Dear Prudence
7 Suzanne Vega — Gypsy
8 Moody Blues — Nights In White Satin
9 Smashing Pumpkins — Daydream
10 Genesis — Dusk
11 U2 — MLK
12 The Beatles — Blackbird
13 Fleetwood Mac — Landslide
14 The Smiths — Asleep

You can listen to most of them on this imeem playlist: The Perks of Being a Wallflower

This book is awesome. Wish I had read it in High School.

I have been meaning to go through the book and make a playlist of all the songs since I read this book a few years ago! I am glad I’m not the only one whose noticed the awesome-ness! Everyone MUST read this book!

wp2tumblr - Transfer your blog from WordPress to tumblr + disqus

wp2tumblr - Transfer your blog from WordPress to tumblr + disqus:

Moving blogs sucks, so lets make it easier…

This script will allow anyone to mass transfer all the posts from a specified WordPress blog to a Tumblr account as well as transfer the comments to a specified Disqus account. Manually transfering a large number of posts can be time consuming, so instead use this wonderful script! Wp2Tumblr uses Tumblr API and Disqus to repost blog posts/comments from an exported WordPress blog. This script has been tested to work with Tumblr API 1.0 and Wordpress 2.3.3 (WordPress eXtended RSS format).

Directions:
Don’t run the script if you don’t know what it does. This script was a quick coding exercise so it does not have fancy error handling. Use it at your own risk. If you don’t know what you’re doing, ask for help :)

- Install the script on a server that supports PHP 5
- Export your WordPress blog
- Edit the script and input your general parameters
- Run the script by invoking its url with the following query string: ?exec=true

Updated 3/11/08:

Version 1.1:

Some WordPress exports were invalid XML so DOM based parsing was replaced with parsing code directly from WordPress’s own Import function

Untumblr - Intentionally delete all of your Tumblr posts!

Untumblr - Intentionally delete all of your Tumblr posts!:

Ever wanted to intentionally (hah) delete all of your Tumblr posts?

This script will allow anyone to delete all of the posts on a specified Tumblr account. Manually deleting a large number of posts can be time consuming and outright annoying, hence I introduce to you this wonderful script. Untubmlr uses Tumblr API to find postIds associated with the specified account and then use a HTTP POST call to delete each one.

This script has a potential to be abused, but please don’t. I only created it to help cleanup the results of botched mass post transfers. Don’t run the script if you don’t know what it does. This script was a quick coding exercise so it does not have fancy error handling. Use it at your own risk.

If you like the script use it and drop me comments! If you hate the script fix it and or drop me comments! The script is available for free and to be modified under CC.

I still haven’t quite decided the specifics of this blog. I’ve got a few ideas in my head but I’ll have to sleep on it…For now I’m just talking to myself.

I'm a junkfood-vegetarian
I'm becoming increasingly conscious about the world
I was born in Zambia
The perfect grilled cheese will make my day
I read, just not books
I enjoy breakfast at anytime of the day
I have tons of ideas just nowhere to put them
I'd prefer Mary-Ann and Ginger combined
