Poker Blog for WhatsNew

January 2006 Log Entries

Homepage Updated

So instead of working on the things I really need to do, I updated the homepage.  I put the 10 most recent entries on the homepage.  Maybe people will want to update more often because they get to be on the homepage.  I really should put the most recent entry *or* comment on there, but that would have been like three more lines of code.
 
I also automatically have people set up to "watch" their own blog, so they know when people are commenting on their entries.  I'll let people turn it off if it bugs them.
 
I also think I now know what I want to do in order to get the hand histories attached to sessions.  It will be pretty cool if it works.

Watch Blogs

I need this site to aspire to more than the 1990 standard for bulletin boards.  Behold...Blog-watching.  We're into the mid-nineties now, people.  Ever since email was invented websites could alert you of updates, and now this one can as well.  We can't be far from other great new technologies like Flash and other wonderful browser plugins...any suggestions?
 
Oh, and by the way, this is when the WhatsNew blog was created, for those keeping score (which is what we like to do on this site, after all).

Added Permalink and Entry Comments

OK, now that we have "permalinks" we're a legit blog site, right? Not really, but at least we now have all the important functionality of any self-respecting BBS that has been created since 1990.  My favorite was Napa Valley Wildcat...Modern Warfare...but I digress.  Please enjoy your new feature.

Browse Page Facelift

As a special request, I added a little flair to the "Recent Users" page.  Now you can see everyone's performance on one page.  Will people game the system? Only if the site gets big, so I guess it's a problem I wouldn't mind having.  Enjoy it while it lasts.

Upload Histories Started

It isn't easy and it isn't pretty and it doesn't do much, but it's a start.  You can (if you are smart enough) zip up your Party Poker HandHistory directory and upload it.  It will be automatically unzipped, and the hands will be split out individually, and then...nothing.
 
Just *think* of the possibilities, though! No, seriously.  Someone tell me what I should do with these hands.  Or at least where I should start.
