Insta-rec: Lucifugous; GIPs, and misc fun

[astolat]

Insta-rec: matociquala is serializing her novella Lucifugous on the Subterranean Press site, which I finally settled in to read this morning, and yum. If you like Sherlock Holmes eta: on consideration, I change my mind! Agatha Christie instead! or vampires or zeppelins, I highly recommend; heaps of slashy Victorian fun. It's currently up to Chapter 4

What can we call you? The Widget Witch? The Script Sorceress? The Coding Czarina?

Fount of all Freebies...

Ok, since I'm all alone this evening and the kitties aren't giving me plotbunny ideas (they're just sleeping, the lazy dears!), I made good on my threat to actually translate your recs script into PHP. I think it does pretty much the same thing as your perl version, except it seems to want to GET the form rather than POSTing it. *shruggles*

It requires the PhpDelicious class that can be found here (and I've included basic instructions for uploading that). I've got the script source and my own version (as well as the one that I had the other day that's more integrated into my site's look).

I'd be chuffed if you wanted to test it or pimp it to folks who might not have the Net::Delicious perl module. :)

(Also, on line 194 of yours, I think you meant "$fandoms{$post} = $f;" rather than "$authors{$post} = $f;", yes?)

Cheers!

Instead of sleeping like a sane person would, I extended mine to add a sort by ratings feature, since I have a bundle for that. I'm *not* going stay up any later and add that to the perl version. La. :)

*wanders off blearily to bed*

I did, and this is great! Do you mind if I put this source on the yuletide website along with the perl version? Looks like it's all working terrific to me. *steals ratings thingy*

PS -- the perl version does GET too; I actually like using GET better in a non-sensitive-material script like this because that way people can bookmark the version with the tag/sort that they like best. :)

I love this so much. *G* Thank you!

(btw, it choked on a mailto I put in -- I got 500 Internal Server Errors until I yanked it back out. No biggie at all, I don't need it there, but figured you should know if that wasn't deliberate.)

Hey, if we wanted to ask our ISP to get the net-delicious thing installed, do you know where we should send them to find it and what version we should ask for? I googled, but it was confusing.

Thanks!
