Your Last Box Thing[edit]

I really dig it. Any chance that you can point me to a link or something so I might have my own? (If you want to remain unique, though, I understand :D)--MikeDanger 21:02, 24 November 2006 (CST)

What do you mean my "last box thing"? Feel free to nick the code if you want thuogh, I probably nicked it form someone else too lol --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 05:26, 25 November 2006 (CST)

I believe he's referring to the last.fm box. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 05:36, 25 November 2006 (CST)

Oh right. Yeah sure then you can use it, its in the gallery on last.fm :D --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 06:32, 25 November 2006 (CST)

Category Cloud[edit]

Sorry about not setting up my contact email address on moonfire.us, I apparently forgot to finish that last little step before the site went live. Oops. :) It works properly now if you have more questions. I already created an entry for the extension on the MediaWiki site, you can find the extension at Extension:CategoryCloud. It should be fairly clear on how to use it, but the basic is you create a category that is a parent to all the categories you want in the cloud. Then, point to that using:

<category-cloud category="MyTopLevelCategory"></category-cloud>

And from there, everything should work magically. If you have any questions, feel free try contact@moonfire.us, my ISP says it is working properly now (that I set it up).

Thanks i'll be able to play with this on the test wiki now --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 09:41, 6 February 2007 (CST)

Sweet! That looks like it's exactly what Merc was hunting for. Merc: Maybe a separate cloud for RDM vs TOS? Or were you thinking of including ALL cats? --Steelviper 09:59, 6 February 2007 (CST)

I'm going to play with it offline for a bit. Ive got a few modification I want to do to improve it. We might need to do a bit of work actually on the wiki to improve performance but this looks like the base of something I can really work on here :D --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 10:12, 6 February 2007 (CST)

BAH! Released under GNU which means Im not allowed to modify the code. Might have to give the guy another buzz about that. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 10:16, 6 February 2007 (CST)

GPL just means you need to post your changes to the plugin if you make any. I just like to see what people do to my code and sometimes I roll it back in into the primary branch. If it is a problem, I can switch to MIT license, which I'm considering. -- DylanMoonfire 10:49, 6 February 2007 (CST)

I personally don't see the problem here. If Mercifull decides to modify this thing and put it up on BSWiki, the GPL says he has to release his modified version under the GPL as well, meaning he has to publish the source code. Assuming Mercifull has no problem with that, he can just put it up at Extension:CategoryCloud and be done with it. Hell, he could even copy&paste the Extension:CategoryCloud page from MediaWiki. For more info on the GPL go here. (We're dealing with Freedom 3 here.) --Catrope 13:36, 6 February 2007 (CST)

I don't know of the status here, but I've uploaded a new version of the plugin at the Extension:CategoryCloud page on MediaWiki. It fixes a couple of bugs and adds a pfunc version. Cheers!

Thanks, now that the season has finished airing I can actually get back to work on stuff :) --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 18:11, 30 March 2007 (CDT)

Need a main logo with a Orange ribbion re: VTech[edit]

n/t Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 03:22, 20 April 2007 (CDT)

I dont wanna sound disrespectful here but wheres the logo for people that died in the holocaust, wheres the logo for all the servicemen killed in iraq, wheres the logo for all the civilians killed in wars every day? It was a horrible tragedy and just thinking about it makes me sad but is a logo really the best way to remember and to show respect or is it just jumping on a bandwagon? --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 03:27, 20 April 2007 (CDT)

We could do those also. :-) There was a thing going around that all of today people wre going to wear orange. I thought we just do it for one day. :-) 'tis ok though. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 03:30, 20 April 2007 (CDT)

Well i'm at work right now so cant make one anyway. If SV is online then ask him, hes got photoshop and could whip one up. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 03:33, 20 April 2007 (CDT)

The thing that your working on graphics for....[edit]

If your reading the blog, you understand. :-| Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 03:13, 1 May 2007 (CDT)

Parts for my new computer are here, I just need to finish putting it together. Also the new graphics card for my old PC is coming today so I should have them both up and running at the weekend. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 03:21, 1 May 2007 (CDT)
