Okay...
To letcha's know what I'm doing and so I can keep it straight myself...
You may notice a bunch of Gut Rumbles links being added to my 'roll.That's because I happened upon a post from Rob's lost archives last night and I'm going both forwards and backwards as far as necessary, as in from November 1st, 2001 allllll the way through 2003, up to and including Januray, February, March and April 2004 and retrieving those lost archives. Now, here's where I explain this shit to myself....
Yes, the October 2002 archives are mostly on the Blogspot blog he had.
However, that site ends on the 26th and the link I have is complete... goes all the way to the end of the month. The reason I don't simply have all the archives 'rolled by month is that the monthly archives are fubar.
What I'm having to do here is 'roll each month by going through each month to the first post of said month, then I blogroll that.
And, as I add each month, to keep them in chronological order (as opposed to alphabetical) I add a lower-case letter of the alphabet in front of said month.
AND, I've figured ahead to what letter each month will need by the time I'm (ever) done.
(This man does more posts per day than any other six bloggers put together...) As of right this second, I still need to scroll through all of March 2004 to get April 2004 'rolled, which will lead to May 2004 which is on the Gut Rumbles front page, as is everything he's written since then. After that, I need to go into November 2002 and, as the first of each month comes up, 'roll it with the appropriate letter so it'll all be in order. That's why January, February and March 2004 have p, q, and r in front of 'em.
April will have "s", as soon as I get there.
Aaand, November 2002 will have a "b", December 2002 will have a "c" and so on all through 2003.
(October 2002 has the "a"...) I'mina have a LOT of Gut Rumbles links when this is done, but... that's fine with me.
Christ knows there's enough dumb shit on my blogroll I can dump, if need be. And, as for all this clicky-clicky I'm doing?
Totally worth it.
Ask me something hard.... So, yeah... if ya want to read some of Rob's posts that haven't been seen recently, go for it.
Whatever month you choose, you'll be taken to the first post for that month.
You'll have the choice to go forward or backward in time as you see fit.
The only thing I can tell ya about "leaving off" is to bookmark where ya are, so you can pick up where you left off later. *coupla minutes later, after checking to make sure this makes sense* Oh, and I'm finally in my flannel jammies with my cat-slippers on (I'm sure Rob would appreciate the irony in that).
Now all I need to do is go dry my hair and git my hot chocolate.
And eat.
I'm friggin' starvin'. But, I just can't stop with his archives.
It's too cool to see all this stuff again.
I'm trying to not read the posts right now in the interest of getting this project done, but choice phrases keep catching my eye and making me stop and read.
Hell, I've even backtracked a post a time or two.
My eye sees the choice phrase right when my finger clicks the mouse and my brain says, "WAIT! What was that?" and back we go. And, before I forget... some of the comments are also fubar in various ways.
If they aren't spammed halfway to hell, they're just not there at all.
But, I could give a shit less about the comments.
It's Rob's writing I want back. And, thank all that is good and holy, that's what I'm getting.
(That, and carpal tunnel by the time I'm done... *giggle*) Peace and happy reading....
