Taryn Hicks: Semi-Regular Thoughts…

Disqus is good cms and i have an account on it through which i am commenting. Previously i think it was using the username as the displayed name as i was facing problems with that. But now it's perfectly fine. Go ahead..

You have Russian mail-order brides? Perhaps you should set up a stall in the Rundle St markets one Sunday ...

I can never decide whether to sort comments by ascending or descending timestamp.

I *think* Disqus gives the visitor the opportunity to sort?

Now I'm confused because I'm logged in…

Ah yes I just noticed. But I think the blog owner can choose the default somehow too.

Ah yeah, they can sort by popular and stuff

What do you usually end up settling on?

Oldest first makes sense from a narrative perspective, so I usually go with that. But newest first works well with articles where cutting edge info is important.

Oldest first. Of course, I never get more than one comment per post,
so it makes little difference to my commenters.

So.. this is what Taryn's place looks like.. Nice.. Nice colors.. One of these days I'm seriously going to change the css on my site.. No seriously.. (Stop smiling..) I will get around to the cosmetics one day.. Thanks for the spam invite via twitter. :) U have now been officially spammed.. Oh anyone need any viagra? lmaooooo or a Russian Bride? Perhaps I can interest u in a.... (cough) I hate spam.

Nah, I'm all right for Viagra at the moment, and Russian mail-order brides.

I'm pretty happy this is all working, but I'm in the process of redesigning my blog as well.

I touched a small animal.

A small *woodland* animal?



Or is that just what you call your penis?

Both.

What are you doing to my cat?!

Petting

HA HA DANGLY PARTS

HAHA! ING!

Sup gee?

It's the nunn *oonce oonce*

What is an Oonce?

That would be a sound :)

Also Josh; what's that suggestions thing you have attached to the sides of your sites? >_>

Hooray!
(Also I'm testing this on the Failsbook)

'sup? I decided I liked Disqus several months ago, and now I installed it. :)

Now I can say I like people's comments and stuff. Hey, how do I get a "reaction"?

So, you want spam? Happy to help.

Thank you! I am testing things like threaded comments and such. It all seems to be working.

You can upvote silly comments too by clicking the "like" button, and you can share your comments on Twitter or Facebook.

I hear rubbing stuff you're allergic to on your skin can cause reactions. Or having people tweet/buzz/blarp your posts.

Blarp? Sounds like a stomach upset.

You mean you aren't on blarp? It's like the latest greatest thing
ever. It's what you might get if you crossed the long lasting appeal
of Wave with the privacy controls of Buzz, the ease of use of
Facebook, the ubiquitousness of Plurk, and the in depth conversation
of Twitter. You really should sign up.

Are you high?

No, just giddy with delight from using blarp.

Clearly it's very cutting-edge, as this is all I could find about Blarp:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=...

Surprisingly, all those definitions are perfect to explain a service like blarp.

HI BILLY MAYS HERE!

No!

VINCE OFFER

YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE MY NUTS

Now it works... I think it was something I had open in another tab that was affecting it (chrome) :)

Is this like chatroulette?

Why, do you want video of people masturbating?

This is Kevin, I live with NattersMuch. I am stepping on her keyboard. :)

This is another comment I am making for testing purposes. Hi, Twitter?

I am a comment made by me. I am awesome. Maybe.

This is a threaded comment. I can thread comments.

Dammit, I meant to not post that on Twitter. Oi. Naughty tickbox, stop being ticked! I unticked you!!

Hmmmm tickboxes that are just hard to get along with? Sounds like lagg.. Or maybe you on 31.2 kbps dialup.. Like me.. Geeez it took a long time to get to the point I could actually post.. I get my wireless next week. Then them tickboxes will be much easier to get along with. ;) Threaded u reckon?
