Live from New York: Al Gore and Phish

Comments[2] by Dave in General

Don't forget, Al Gore kicking off his presidential campaign by hosting Saturday Night Live tonight and Phish is the musical guest. Either he will completely dork-out and blow all of his remaining political capital, or he will roll up a big fat spliff, smoke it on stage with Phish, and win back the hearts and minds of all of us tree-hugging, jam-band lovin', bleeding-heart liberals. We'll take him all the way to the White House baby, all he has to do is inhale.

As things stand right now I'm voting for Senator McCain in 2004, based entirely on his October SNL performance.

Please do not interpret the above statements as an indication that I condone Phish.

Congrats to Matt.

Congratulations to Matt on his new job.

Roller category ideas.

Comments[2] by Dave in Roller

Hierarchical categories. Matt mentioned the idea of hierarchical categories on the roller-dev list the other day. Scott Switzer mentioned this back in October and put it into JIRA. A hierachical categories feature seems a little complicated and maybe a little confusing. Maybe with the right UI, hierarchical catagories would work. Is it overkill?

Multiple categories. Right now, each weblog entry has one and only one category. Most blogging software allows you to assign multiple categies per entry, I think Roller needs this too.

Selective display of categories. It would be nice if the Roller page macros allowed you to specify which categories are to be displayed on each page and in each newsfeed. That way, you can have a developer oriented page that includes your Java, C#, and AOP categories; and you cab have a family oriented page that includes your Personal, Cat, and Look-At-My-Cute-Little-Baby categories. As Matt suggested, we could also use hierarchical categoes to achieve the same goal.
