    3. Do any of you have blogs?

      ~creative Ask (survey)

      If you do, link them in this thread! A bit of writing's always fun, (and selfishly, I've got a new RSS reader to break-in,) and Tildes is built around the transfer of ideas, so why not share?

      this world is so full of energy
      constantly amazed by
      the shit i see in front of me
      all my wishes all my demons
      parade in circles surrounding me
      it's just the vibe that i keep
      it's just the air that i breathe
      i guess it's masochistic tendencies
      i don't want your positivity
      if you have to force it into me
      i let it hit me gracefully
      got nothing against smiling.

      it's great, don't need to say it.
      good day, when the chardonnay hits
      good friends, gonna make your sides split
      good laughs, gonna bust a lung with
      but don't, need to make it seem like
      i don't, have times when i cry
      i don't, wanna force out a vibe
      of hope, when it just don't feel right
      Sono, l'atarassia
      Voi sie-te i Pagliacci
      Why act, like the world is ending
      on days, when you find you're frowning

      this world is so full of sappy shit
      Everyone subsists off
      forced happiness, false positives
      bloody nails digging for
      every causative, we're at odds to live
      with the negative - shit's definitive
      that's why 1 in 5 on anxiety medicine
      sadness the civil sin,
      at all costs repent against
      grin through chagrin it's sheepskin
      insomniac meds for sleeping
      forget that though, my heart's leaping
      I swear to god
      every morning, open eyes
      birds chirping, and i'm in awe
      don't give a nod at my
      curtain facade and try defraud
      ridi, ridi, Pagliaccio,
      e ognun,

      .

    10. Starting to experiment a little with using data scraped from the destination of link topics

      This is very minor so far, but I think it's good to have a topic devoted to it so that people have somewhere to discuss it, instead of having it come up randomly in topics that it applies to.

      I've recently started scraping some data about the destination of link topics using Embedly's "Extract" API (Embedly was kind enough to give me a reasonable amount of free usage since Tildes is a non-profit). You can put in the url of an article/video/etc. on that page to get an idea of what sort of data I can get from it, if you'd like to see for yourself.

      I've only just started tinkering with it, and so far the data is only being used in two small ways:

      1. Tweets now display the entire text of the tweet on the topic listing page, similar to the "excerpt" from text topics. You can see an example here.

      2. On topic listings, the date that an article was published will be shown (after the domain name) if the publication date was at least 3 days before it was submitted. There are a few examples in the recent posts in ~misc

        I'll probably adjust this threshold, but I'd like it to be an amount of time where the age of the content might feel "significant". It would also be possible to just show this info all the time, but I think the topic listings are already fairly cluttered so it's probably best to hide it when it's not interesting/significant.

      As I said, these are very tiny changes so far, but there are lots of other possibilities that I hope to start using before long. I've mentioned this before, but something I'd really like to do overall is try to bring in more data about the links where it's possible to be able to show things like the lengths of videos and so on.

      Let me know if you have any thoughts about it or notice any issues, thanks.

      Today I solved a riddle first time and I feel so happy about it. I solved the bonus riddle in this video by Ted Ed, Can you solve the rebel supplies riddle? - Alex Gendler.

      Do you have links to other sites that have similar riddles? Ted-Ed suggests Brilliant but that requires a membership which I don't have money for.
