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. Bugfix where single digit hex would cause invalid colors, thanks to http://www.wereldkeuken.be/ for the fix. Version 1.5.8: Bugfix from Matthias Schutz regarding time_since.

    For the Record

    0 Comments Published by Textbook 2 years, 3 months ago in Online Poker

    I placed first in a $6 sit-n-go on Party tonight.
    Had a marathon heads-up battle with the second place finisher. Luckily nobody at the table played short-handed the way I do. (Not that I rule short-handed — my style just doesn’t tolerate much competition when the head count gets low.)

    Doyle’s Room on Krank

    I decided to spend a little more time on Doyle’s Room today, since I had the money there and all.
    First I hit a $5+0.50 9-seat “extended” sit-n-go. I’m not sure what “extended” means, but since the other options appear to be “speed” or “turbo”, I figure it must mean “pretty close to normal pace”. I […]

    There isn’t a whole lot I can actually tell you about last nights home game…

    The Mother-in-Law had […]

    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 […]

    Speed Party

    At 9pm on Tuesday nights, the TiVo tends to record Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. I’m not a fan. Sure Ice-T and Belzer are cool, but I get no kicks watching stories about rape and child abuse. Whatever. Not the point…
    So, I hopped on the Compy 386 and putter about for a while. After […]
