(For WordPress 1.5) Author: Brian Meidell Author URI: http://meidell.dk/blog Version 1.5: Now works without LOCK TABLE and CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE priviledges. Version 1.5.1: Can't remember what I did here Version 1.5.2: Fixed count select statement to not include spammy comments Version 1.5.3: Properly excludes track- and pingbacks Version 1.5.4: Excludes posts that are not published, even if they have comments Version 1.5.5: Fade old comments, fixed bug that wreaked havoc with Time Since Version 1.5.6: Bugfix from Jonas Rabbe (http://www.jonas.rabbe.com/) pertaining to timesince Version 1.5.7: Bugfix so old colors can be darker than new colors (stupid oversight), thanks to http://spiri.dk for spotting it.

Version 1.5.9: Added function redefiniotion protection if people use the plugin in several places */ function blc_latest_comments($num_posts = 5, $num_comments = 6, $hide_pingbacks_and_trackbacks = true, $prefix = "

    (For the record: The house belongs to Dave and Sarah, and both were present. DJ gets top billing as he was the organizer.)
    To begin with, it was the poker game that almost wasn’t: I had said I’d be in if JT and EZ were in and that DJ should call me if any arm twisting […]

    What happens in the home game…

    There isn’t a whole lot I can actually tell you about last nights home game…
    There were a lot of inappropriate jokes (more quips, really - not set-up followed by punchline type jokes) and stories told. We had a chick in the game (Hi Tippy!), which oddly made the conversation more raunchy than usual.

    Doyle’s Room Fun

    It seems someone was kind enough to follow my affiliate link to Doyle’s Room and actually deposit some real money in their account. To them, I say thanks very much!
    That means I had a little bit o’ cash dropped in my DR account, so I tried a little $5 NLHE sit-n-go. Finished 2nd (the single […]

    Rule One: No work talk

    Rule Two: No working at the table
    If you have something pending that will require the opening of a laptop during play, you might just want to skip the game that time.
    Rule Three: Three Pair is the […]

    Then last night, I pop onto PartyPoker and this happens:

    Caught this on the TiVo and watched it yesterday: E! Hollywood Hold ‘Em
    This ain’t your average star-studded poker show, people, so pay attention. In E! Hollywood Hold ‘Em, one of Hollywood’s finest opens his or her home to two celebrity friends, two not-so-famous buddies–and you! They’re playing for $10,000 in real cash, and they don’t […]
