Convinced that maybe Access just plain isn’t going to support 18 digit blogid’s, I did try a couple of new commenting systems with the new blogger version while I ate my lunch. CGIcomments completely didn’t work. Again, probably it’s handling the blog_id as a number and choking on 18 digits. xcomments worked, sort of. I can read and write comments, but I can’t, for the life of me, figure out why the comment count doesn’t work. Since the creators of xcomments simply left the zip file and no documentation, it’s a bit hard to really get through why that might be. I’m trying now to find someone, anyone, who is using xcomments successfully and has a comment counter. I haven’t found one yet! 🙂

By the way, the comment count is not related to the digits problem, as it doesn’t work on new blogs or old blogs with the shorter BlogItemNumber. There’s something else that I’m missing.

    The coolest thing about using blogrolling, well beside the fact that it’s ridiculously easy, is that I can see who’s been blogrolling me, which is cool.

    Saw this story over at Just Another Geek’s blog about knowing a few minutes ahead of time that someone’s going to get fired and having to slide into their office and disconnect them from the network while they’re being fired in another office. I’ve had to do that, and it sucks. I work in a…

    Over at the other blog, some tips picked up from a workshop last night on social networking. I think given the large number of self-proclaimed “social retards” among the IT folks out there, it might be relevant to readers here as well. Follow these topics: Uncategorized

  • It makes my head spin..

    Yesterday I spent probably two hours discussing a change that we’re doing at work. In layman’s terms, one of our employees is moving into a newly created position with another entity that is a “partner” of ours. He’ll work for them, but still be our employee, work out of our offices and have an email…
