About Me

My name is Sean Connelly, and I've gone by the pseudo-name Peebrain while on PsiPog.net. This blog was a running stream of my thoughts, beliefs, and experiences about PsiPog and psychic abilities in general.

New Articles Finally!

I finally decided to use my creative mind to come up with a solution to PsiPog.net's article problem.

See, I didn't want to post articles online for people. It's a pain in the ass, and I hate doing it. So I figured that people could wait until the new system was up and running. The new system will allow people to post and edit their own articles - leaving me out of it. The problem was that the new system is taking forever to create... and the articles on PsiPog.net were getting older and older.

So I sat here for 10 minutes, thinking that there must be a better way. Forcing my creative mind to give me results, I sat here staring at my screen until inspiration hit me. Luckily, it did!

I got the idea to use WordPress... then leech the posts from WordPress and inject them into the current article system. This would require SOME programming, but not that much... mostly hacks here and there. I thought the idea had some potential, so I got to work.

It only took me two days to hook up all the loose ends. It really wasn't hard at all, and now authors can post articles freely, and I don't have to post them manually myself. Plus everyone gets to read the new articles, and be happy with all the new material. Everyone wins, hurray!

So we have some new articles up, and the article posting system is incredibly easy for authors. I will continue to work on the new PsiPog.net (preview here), but at least some authors can post interesting new articles in the meantime.

About your article about JREF:

Just out of curiousity, what were you going to do for the challenge?
