Change Log of September 1, 2014

At the end of every day (or, at least every day that I change something), I make a post that highlights all of the changes and/or posts that have been made that day. This way I can update previous posts and actually have the changes be found, plus readers will be able get easy access to all the new posts without scrolling down too much. Note: Since this post will be the last thing I post each day, it is less likely to be properly cleaned up, as I will be rather tired at that point

New posts:

  • Posts by Dad

Major Changes:

  • As Dad mentions in his post DDOS and Wafs, he’s activated Incapsula on the site. See his post for more details!
  • Dad also added the Tag Cloud that you can now see on the front page! One more thing to check off the To Do List!
  • Dad changed his post list under technology to show an image next to each post along with the title, date, and a brief summary.

Minor Changes:

  • I made a slight update to the text of the To Do List, and I deleted checked off items, like I’ll be doing at the beginning of each month

Of Special Note:

  • Soon I should be able to start Certified Brilliant again! So long as school, which is starting up,  isn’t too hard, that is…
  • Updated to WordPress 4, “Benny” tonight!

New posts:

  • The Ultimate Wish: Part 1 of 3 – The Wish is something I’ve been wanting to post for about a week now. Part 2 is going to be about what happens immediately after the wish :D, but unfortunately might take another week to put out 🙁

Major Changes:

Minor Changes:

  • I checked off Add the new “Humorous Post” tag to the posts that it applies to from the  To Do List, tonight I plan on checking a few off of it. Click the tag’s link to see what I marked! I also partially marked off something else, involving the new page for misc. posts.
  • I added the top 3 items to the To Do List. As fast as I cross them off, I find new things that I want to do 🙁
  • I added the “Magic” tag to a few posts. Note: this is not fantasy, so Story Idea: Benedite wouldn’t be included

Of Special Note:

  • 🙂

The Scientific Ideal World

After reading this comic, I’ve been trying to find a site that has a scientific opinion on what the “ideal world” would be, but all my Google searches keep coming up with people philosophizing and talking about good people, or talking about dictatorships trying to rule the world and make everything “perfect”. If anyone could find a link to a site, article, video, etc., that approaches the question from a scientific point of view, please post it in the comments. I will continue looking for one, and when I’ve found one I’ll make this a real post. Thanks!

New posts:

  • The Alphabet Game: Fast Version is a version of a semi well-known game that I adapted to suit myself a bit better

Major Changes:

  • none

Minor Changes:

  • I added three new things to the To Do List, the three that are second, third, and fourth from the bottom.

Of Special Note:

  • In the future I think I’ll add things to the top of the to do list instead of the bottom

  • I added a new item to the To Do List, the second to bottom one

Of Special Note:

  • The reason I’ve been on crutches for the past two weeks (not that you’d necessarily know ) is that I was jumping of a dock and hit a rock on the bottom of a lake. Luckily nothing was broken, but I had to be on antibiotics for a few days, crutches for a few weeks, and in a boot for another month. I just figured I’d explain why there was a post about crutches.

New posts:

  • I’ve made a site To Do List! Although, since it’s in my are of the blog, perhaps I should say it’s my to do list. IDK, if I need to I’ll make a site to do list.

Major Changes:

Minor Changes:

  • I changed the text that I copy and paste into each Change Log a little bit, fixing a few things that were bugging me.

Of Special Note:

  • The reason this is being posted on August 22 is that we lost power (for a few hours) and we didn’t manage to get the computer to turn on till this morning.

To Do List

I’ve wanted to have a public to do list that could show various things I want to change about/add to the site, so here it is. I will cross off things as I do them, and at the beginning of every month I’ll remove the checked off items. Making the to do list in the first place was the first thing on it 🙂

In no particular order:

  1. Make a private to do list for myself for things that wouldn’t make sense to others and/or apply to future posts?
  2. Find all the places I use the underline to separate topics and make the underline longer (sorry if that makes no sense to anyone besides me)
  3. Add an “About Us” page
  4. Decide on the Idea Polish Level of Interesting Observation: Social Norms, Story Idea: Benedite, Time-Based Game (Tag?), and Type-able Lewis Dot Structure.
  5. Add a featured image to each post
  6. Make a section/page for things I find online that aren’t “Certified Brilliant”
  7. Find a way to make “Certified Brilliant” work again
  8. Add a category for my favorite posts?
  9. Make a “Change Log” that includes links to posts I made before I started using change logs
  10. Find the site mentioned in The Scientific Ideal World
  11. Go through all the posts and make sure that the links function properly
  12. Finish the To Do List 🙂

New posts:

  • The Planets of Star Wars contains some of the thought I had while watching Star Wars Episode I earlier today. I’m realizing just how cool a universe such as Star War’s actually is 🙂

Major Changes:

  • I added the new 4th paragraph to Story Idea: Benedite, after thinking about how benedite might have affected the food industry. I also changed the last two sentences of the post.

Minor Changes:

  • On the main “George” page, I added a link to the latest change log to the  very top of the page
  • Previously, the “George’s Posts in Reverse Chronological Order” (that’s a mouthful) only showed the last 20 posts, but since by now I’ve posted more than 20 things (Yay!!) I increased the number, substantially. (I added a zero 🙂

Of Special Note:

  • I’ve made a game idea that is actually playable! It took me a few days, but I’ve written a post explaining how to play it. Now I’m just waiting for it to be read by a few select people to see if I explain the game well enough to play 🙂

New posts:

  • Universal Solute came from a joke that I read about a universal solvent. If I have more time tomorrow I’ll add it to the post

Major Changes:

  • I’ve update How To Randomly Choose A Winner Using Only A Watch (previously “How to do a Coin Flip with a Watch”) so thoroughly that it might as well be a new post, but nonetheless it’s an update. Also, because of the large increase in polish-ness of the post, it has been upgraded to Idea Polish Level 2, being the first to be leveled up purely because I added more to it
  • I’m trying to work out the my Idea Polish Level system again, so I changed a few Polish levels: Funny Knights Names from 1  to 2, and Story Idea: Benedite from 4 to 3;

Minor Changes:

Of Special Note:

  • none
