A few days ago, I changed the theme on this site. I noticed that when I did, my stats package started reporting 0 visits a day (while I still got comments, so I knew it was inaccurate.)

For the time being, i’ve switched back to iTheme, until I can figure out the difference (might only take 5 minutes of troubleshooting, when I get a chance to do it.)

The only thing that this has any impact on is the embeded videos.  They will appear to be partially hidden until things are solved.

I started writing a twitter client yesterday to handle inline media and shortened url’s. While it’s not ready for general consumption yet, I went in and made a demo video, explaining what I was going for. Leave a comment if you’d like to give the interface a try, and you can always friend me up on twitter.

I realized today that there was no Shake function for jQuery, a function I miss from scriptaculous. I did some googling to find a plugin but didn’t find much.  I did end up finding a site that referenced a plugin named shakeit() .   My current google searches turn up nothing, but here’s a slightly modified version of the code:

jQuery.fn.Shake = function(){
     this.each(function(init){
          var jqNode = $(this);
          jqNode.css({position: 'relative'});
          for (var x = 1; x < = 3; x++){
               jqNode.animate({ left: -25 },10)
               .animate({ left: 0 },50)
               .animate({ left: 25 },10)
               .animate({ left: 0 },50);
          }
     });
return this;
}

If anyone knows who’s plugin this is, please leave a comment, so I can give them the credit they deserve.
