Gender-Bending Fiction Index
Well, things are looking up. On a whim, I re-implemented most of the old gender-bending list’s functionality on the new database-backed platform I’ve been meaning to write for years.
I’m not sure how steadily I’ll work on getting the rest done, but at least it’s somewhat usable now. (I still have to hook in display of and filtering by types of gender-bending and the sorting can be a bit finicky, but it is possible to browse by category, see the degree of gender-bending in each work, and click them to see what used to be footnotes.)

The bad news is, my main site is down and I’m too busy to update my blog.
The good news is, I’ve finally cooked up a tool which prevents me from procrastinating or getting distracted for days on end, so it’s only a matter of time before I’ve caught up to my real-life obligations.
The main site should be renovated and back online some time within the next month or two and, while I don’t want to promise anything, I’ll probably resume reviewing fanfics and commenting on interesting geeky stuff shortly afterwards.

I’m not really on top of my time management yet, but this was hard enough to find that I think it warrants a blog post anyway…
Have you ever tried looking up how to use Javascript to get the selected HTML in a browser window in a form that can then be sent via XMLHTTPRequest or fed into an ordinary form field? (eg. for POSTing to a quote-collector tool) It’s a surprisingly difficult piece of info to find. (Hence why I’m partly writing this as a reminder to myself)
This is a preview of
Getting The Selected Text as HTML Using Javascript

Introducing the Carnival of Elitist Bastards @ Café Philos
Probably best to read the link above, since I definitely don’t have time to write something anywhere near as good, but in short, it’s an introduction to Dana Hunter’s Carnival of Elitist Bastards which attempts to combat (or at least provide some resistance to) the apparent American tendency towards anti-intellectualism and a tendency to disregard what the experts say if it contradicts what people want to be true.
As I mentioned, the above introduction is much better than this little blurb and I highly recommend that you read it.
