So, to revist my post from May about Same Sad Story...

As it turns out, the lyrics on the acoustic live version of the song that I were talking about are actually from God Is A Bullet by Concrete Blonde.

A bit of a suprise, although the more suprising thing is that Concrete Blonde have another song other than Joey. [wink]

It all becomes clear why those lyrics aren't on the album version version of Ghetto's Same Sad Story!

God is a bullet, have mercy on everyone...

Blog Enhancements

For several weekends I've wanted to make enhancements to my blog, but have been daunted by the task, and it hasn't happened yet. However last night I broke, and started working on it.

Depending on where you're looking at it (I've got copies all over the place now) and whether I've updated the code or not, you'll see a new calendar for navigation, and the sidebar list broken up into expandable/collapsable months.

The impressive part is the whole thing is done in XSLT. Which isn't much fun [wink], but pretty satisfying when you get a calendar working in XSLT. It makes me laugh how much shorter the code would be in any other language. Suprisingly not too difficult, just fiddly.

The real tricky part was getting the months under the calendar to work properly. In particular grouping by month, then by day in month, and then listing the entries per day. It was all easy except for the grouping uniquely by day within month, which swallowed up a whole bunch of time! I finally got it working today though.

All pretty fancy, if I may say so myself. [smile]
