Dean and I just had the most amazing talk. I should be in bed right now, but past tensions are basically done with. Things are great.

Chris’ surprise birthday party was tonight. It was a good time.

On the way home, I was thinking of a way to modify WordPress to do moods, music, and pretty much anything else for any post ever in the form of a hack, or as I’d like to call it a “library.” I could make a simple association engine that holds a post ID, an association key, and an association value. Then, in the WordPress template, anything could be made into lists of information about the post.

The beauty of this “library” like approach is that, while it would interact with WordPress’ tables, it wouldn’t be so tied to the actual software that if a new version was updated, the new version had to be “patched” to work with it again.

I did some checking into how the wpdb class works, but it was introduced in version 1.0, I think, so I’ll need to upgrade my software, which I’ve been meaning to do anyway. After that, I can play. The possibilities are pretty endless. I could display anything that I wanted: current music, mood, location, clothing, web browser, number of spams deleted today…anything. I think it sounds like a fun little coding project. The best part is, it shouldn’t be terribly difficult to complete.

Now that I have vented my ideas into somewhere that I will be able to read them later, I need to get a shower and go to bed, since I have to work in the morning.
