I am trying to port a WordPress theme over to Habari the only way I know how. Step 1- Make mess. Step 2- Flail around making mess worse. Step 3- Somehow clean up mess miraculously. Step 4- Make another mess and repeat process.

Either I don't have a broad enough readership, or what I want doesn't exist. I suspect both :)

organizing documentation is almost as hard as writing documentation.

In a lot of ways, it's harder, and more important.

I wonder whether Wikis help or hinder the whole issue of structure and organisation ? It seems to me it is very easy to quickly create a Wiki page (blog style) with little or no thought as to whether existing or similar content already exists let alone where that page should correctly reside in the Wiki and the necessary linkage.
- Andy C
You may well be right. A lot of up front planning needs to happen for a wiki to work, and I think that rarely happens. Let's think of a different paradigm, perhaps over a couple of beers sometime.

My kid is in major trouble. We bought this nice leash for the dog with a special end that could be clipped to something... $35... He left it on the floor near her cage and she tore it to pieces while we were at work earlier this week. We made a special trip out tonight and bought another one...
Tyson Key, Shevonne, Jim:Rockin the Helvetica and 11 other people liked this
And we had a talk about where the leash goes when it's not on the dog (a hook on the opposite wall of the cage). Left the kid downstairs with the dog for a while... he asks to put her up in her cage and we say ok. Tad goes downstairs to take her for a walk. The boy left the leash on the dog putting her in the cage... it is destroyed... another $35 down the drain after all that. He is so grounded now.
- Lindsay is :)
OH NOES!
- Steven Perez
No kidding, Spidra. If we had a dog house he'd literally be in it right now.

DON'T KILL HIM! YOU WILL GO TO JAIL!

I am so pissed off but you made me LOL Nakachi. Thanks.
- Lindsay is :)
Still can't believe he did that. Oh the joys of parenting.
- Lindsay is :)
Whoa. Grounded?

- Nakachi Majeeda
Sad thing is he was already on probation/grounded because of his report card... only so much punishing you can do to a kid...
- Lindsay is :)
uh oh, sounds like your kid is getting into that rebel teenage years.
- imabonehead
Jilly, we already took away his most favorite thing... the game consoles... We were being nice tonight and letting him have a few minutes because he had been trying so hard all week to not get any missing assignments at school... and that's why he didn't pay attention to the dog. No more games period for a long time now. It's just sad. You get to a point where there's not much else you can do to punish the kid without getting physical or being truly mean.
- Lindsay is :)
ZOMG! it really takes a CYBER-village to raise a child! .LOLz
- .LAG liked that
I'll agree with that, Jilly! His only entertainment now is reading. We do let him work on his computer if he is creating things in Scratch (a programming/animation tool that's ultimately educational) or working on C# (he is trying to learn it through a tutorial book we got for him). I don't really want to take those away. I think it's a matter of manual labor now, as Spidra suggested... tomorrow we break out some deep cleaning supplies.
- Lindsay is :)
Did your 'kid' savage the lead ? No - the dog did. Get your priorities right.
- Andy C
OK - how old is the 'kid' ? Maybe give the 'kid' away to an orphanage and let the dog sleep in your bed. It's a fucking dog lead FFS. No-one forced you to purchase a deluxe Rolls Royce dog lead costing $35.
- Andy C
The kid is 12 years old. Perfectly old enough to be responsible enough not to leave the dog's leash within destroying distance twice in one week. The dog can't be blamed... she is an animal. The son, though, who begged for us to get the dog on the condition that he would be one of the major care takers, is responsible for making sure that she and the equipment to take care of her are preserved. Obviously you have no children, Andy C.
- Lindsay is :)
Is there a leash that is durable enough to not be ruined by the dog?
- Morton Fox
I don't think so, Morton. I wish there were! Other than maybe a chain, but that's not very comfortable for us to hold, especially if she pulls at all. This was one of those super thick nylon jobs... She tore it up where it went into the clip on the end, which, at the time was still in the middle since we had just taken it out of the bag earlier.
- Lindsay is :)
Yeah - I've got kids (2 in fact). So they begged me for hamsters and they let them get under the floorboards. We lifted the entire bathroom floor to rescue them And then guess what - we all had a bloody good laugh ! No punishment, no unending introspection and self analysis. We just laughed. Lighten up FFS.

Andy, life is about learning there are repercussions for your actions. If you do something that causes problems for other people, especially damaging their property out of your negligence you need to make it right. I want my son to realize that he can't go through life expecting everything to be taken care of for him and if he makes a mistake he needs to own up to it and try to make up...

- Lindsay is :)
Well said Lindsay. There are some things that are so hard to learn when you are old. Responsibility is one of them. Teaching and learning are not / cannot be fun all the time.
- Lakshmi Vyas
FWIW, the leashes were $20 each. We both got pretty damned upset when I found the chewed leash. There was a bit of yelling. We both got it out of our systems. Avynn performed penance by doing a couple of hours worth of work in the yard. There were no beatings or any cruelty. He has since hung the leash on the hook well away from the dog. This bud has been nipped.
- Tad, Anti-Immanentizer
I bought a heavy-duty canvas leash for the terrier because he could destroy just about anything else. It has fleece padding in the handloop so it's very comfortable to hold. He >has< chewed on it before and hasn't even managed to fray it yet.

And no, I am not trying to say that I am a troll... only that I have noticed an increase in the frequency of them in my discussions.
- Lindsay is :)
Nope. I've been here quite a while ;)
- MVB
Nope. I haven't seen any. Oh...I see now. Just because he's crass and sees things differently than you doesn't mean he's a troll. Personally, I happen to agree with him 1) I would have phrased it differently and 2) decided that that wasn't the place for my questions. If I had said the same thing, would that have made me a troll?
- Anika Malone
I luv the trolls. They're fun to play with, kinda like guinea pigs. then, when you are no longer amused just put them back in the cage...
- MVB
Anika - there's a difference in expressing your difference of opinion and directly insulting people on topics outside the scope of the issue being discussed... suggesting that we love the dog more than the kid, and that we also lack priorities in our fiances is not exactly the same as providing an objection to how we handled the situation with our son not living up to his responsibilities. I consider personal attacks out of left field being a troll.
- Lindsay is :)
Lindsay: Wow. Nothing like having someone lecture you on how to raise your kid. Yeah, there have been a few new faces around here, and some of them think they can bring their USENET ways into the nice space here. I'd have just blocked him and moved on.
- Steven Perez

- Shevonne
More haters than trolls :)
- Mona Nomura
Honestly, I don't mind discussing an issue, but I take offense when people start insulting you off-topic... If you've got an opinion about the issue being discussed, then let's discuss it. There's no need to be nasty. I enjoy debate, but I don't like pointless bickering.
- Lindsay is :)
While I google it, somebody school me. What is a troll? Of course, in appearance I could be considered one. :-) I'm assuming it's someone with small FF recognition.
- Valley
I'm used to dealing with trolls. Dealt with them since my initial BBS experiences. I've gotten to a point where I need to take the high road and not respond, or else I get dragged down to their level. This is where "Block" and "Delete" comes in handy. One can complain about it "getting old" or one can go about regaining control of their online experiences. :)
- Helen Sventitsky
Haven't noticed. I wonder if that means i am one :-/
- ·[▪_▪]·
I guess I'm subscribed to the wrong (right?) people. I haven't seen any of this...
- Rochelle
I haven't really noticed it but I find it easy to hide those folks and scrub my feed. I also have a relatively narrow subscribe base and leverage the power of FoF so perhaps that keeps more trolls out of my world view.
- AJ Kohn
Same here, Rochelle. I noticed the other day that one of the more infamous trolls stopped following me and I found that highly amusing. What that says about my feed I don't know but it's probably for the best. I very rarely get upset about stuff I see on FF and when I do, that's when I know I need to step away for a little bit. But I've yet to be at the receiving end of a lot of nastiness so it's a lot easier to walk away.
- patricia
How do you block someone? Ive seriously looked for the option; btw haven't noticed the troll invasion
- sofarsoShawn
@Sofarsoshawn: Go to that person's profile an click the red block icon on the top right hand side. *poof*
- AJ Kohn
thx, duh, unsubscribe first
- sofarsoShawn
@Rochelle - I am pretty selective about who I subscribe to, and the people who have been acting like trolls lately aren't people that I've subscribed to. In fact, one reason why they seem like trolls is they don't have a large amount of activity on FriendFeed but they suddenly start making comments that are personal insults or off-base... With people I "know" or have seen on FF I know whether to take that stuff seriously, but with someone I've never "met" suddenly attacking me personally, it's no fun.
- Lindsay is :)
@Valley - if you didn't find the answer yourself, a troll is generally someone who jumps in a thread and starts stirring things up just to make trouble and get other people mad. They enjoy the fact that they upset other people... get a rush from it. They suck the fun out of socializing on the internet, unless, as Helen suggested, you learn how to deal with them. Unfortunately, I have been on a short fuse the last few days and letting them get to me more than I should.
- Lindsay is :)
I think in some cases the person(s) are just having a bad day. The more who join in a society, the more bad days their are to share. I know I have after thinking about a comment went back and deleted on a bad day.

Snakelets is a very simple-to-use Python web application server. It provides a threaded web server (you don't have to provide a web server such as Apache yourself), Ypages (Python HTML template language, similar to Java's JSPs) and Snakelets: code-centric page request handlers (similar to Java's Servlets). Snakelet's focus is to make the creation of dynamic web sites as quick and easy as possible. To get started it is enough to extract Snakelets somewhere, add a single directory that will contain your files, copy-paste-edit a small configuration file that describes your site, and you're set to add your own pages and images and other content!
