http://www.onesentence.org/blog Just another WordPress weblog Tue, 29 Jul 2008 14:26:21 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en To all the folks that have ever submitted Hemingway's famous six-word, single sentence story as their own: did you really think I wouldn't notice? Or that a dozen people before you hadn't done the same thing? Sheesh. http://www.onesentence.org/blog/2008/07/29/for-sale-one-brain-never-used/ The stories page has always been kind of slow because it stupidly created the tag cloud on every page load.  Last night I whipped up a little caching code and it now only creates the cloud once every hour.  It’s much, much snappier now. Also, since the cloud was ... http://www.onesentence.org/blog/2008/07/15/performance-improvements/ Apologies for the multiple instances of downtime this week. I'm finally going to move 1S to a new host this weekend. So, there will be a short time this weekend where the site is once again unavailable, but rest assured that once things are back up and running, ... http://www.onesentence.org/blog/2008/07/11/downtime-and-moving/ Hey there! I'm back after a few (very needed) days off and away from the Net. New sentences resume today. http://www.onesentence.org/blog/2008/06/23/back-to-the-lab/ My One Sentence for the day: I accidentally clicked "approve" instead of "disapprove" for a submission that was three sentences, not one. http://www.onesentence.org/blog/2008/06/10/oops/ One of the most common things I hear via e-mail or the blog's comments is that either I don't approve enough sentences or that I should enlist help in the approval process. The thing is, I have a certain vision of the type of stuff that should appear on ... http://www.onesentence.org/blog/2008/05/21/new-feature-unapproved-stories/ Thanks to Andrew Sullivan for yesterday's link to 1S. He found the site courtesy of Frank Wilson, who found it via novelist Lynn Viehl, who came upon it thanks to author Rosina Lippi. Thanks, everyone! http://www.onesentence.org/blog/2008/04/22/daily-dished/ You've probably noticed some pretty serious downtime over the last few days. Don't worry, I didn't go so broke I couldn't pay my hosting bill... the server the site is hosted on (along with the majority of the other sites I run) fell on hard times. There was ... http://www.onesentence.org/blog/2008/04/15/downtime-what-downtime/ So I've decided to try a little something for April and run some text ads in the sidebar.  I went back and forth on the idea of running ads for a while.  I was a little uncomfortable doing it because, hey, the PostSecret guy doesn't.  But he's also running his ... http://www.onesentence.org/blog/2008/04/02/are-ads-bad/ Bush Pardons 15, Commutes One Sentence Why thank you, Mister President! This site appreciates being commuted. http://www.onesentence.org/blog/2008/03/26/president-bush-fan-of-one-sentence/
