Cameron's Thoughts

Finally! You can export Gmail contacts. If you go into the contacts menu, in the top right corner, there is an export option next to import. This is very nice as I have been using Gmail for over a year and all my new contacts since then are all in there. I was looking around for some other hack to do this, but then I noticed the feature was there. It wasn't there two days ago as I needed to import the contacts into Eudora that I am using at work now. Awesome, a feature that was really needed, finally done. Maybe Gmail will be out of beta soon. :D

Last night I updated the picture galleries on Hailey's and Brett's webpages. I this was a big step as I upgraded them to the Gallery2 software. This is the same software that it was running before, but version 2 is a complete rewrite, and is much improved in a number of ways. There aren't any new pictures yet, I have a couple I need to upload. I just got finished setting up the pictures so they still randomly display over on the right hand side of the page. This was somewhat easier then before as Gallery2 was a built in random picture module, and a way to use it externally. But, the URL rewrite module was not giving the correct URL's for the pictures. Also, there was just a lot of extra HTML in the built in random picture module. But I cleaned that all up and it's now mostly how I want it. I may do a few more tweaks still.

I have been using the SimpleComments plugin from Adam Kalsey for a while now. When MT3 came out, there was an update required since moderated comments were still being displayed. After Movable Type 3.2 came out, I noticed that trackbacks that were sent to the junk folder were being displayed. They wouldn't display right away, but if something else triggered a page to rebuild, the trackback would display. I notified Adam about this, but I know he is probably busy, and me being impatient, I decided to try and tackle this myself. It actually only required a minor update to two lines of code. I hope this is working right. So far it seems to work on my installation. I have never done any Perl programming, so, use at your own risk. Here is the updated plugin I created that should fix the MT3.2 trackback issue.

SimpleComments 1.321

This is also open source BTW, MIT License

UPDATE: (9-9-2005) I updated the code for the plugin and it now contains the code based on the work done by Joe D'Andrea. This one should work no matter what version of MT you have, though it isn't needed unless you have version 3.2.
