A belated Happy Summer! I was watching the groundhog babies frolicking on the deck outside my cabin last Wednesday, nowhere near Internet access… :-)

I just wrote a simple wordpress filter that automatically creates links to a post if the title of that post (or other ‘link names’ in the post’s metadata) appear in text. I wrote it for the “Queen’s Guard”:http://www.the-gang.ca/roleplay/queensguard/ game log. It gives us a little bit of wiki-ness without having to use a full-blown wiki; I haven’t found any wiki software that I like enough to foist on my non-technical gaming buddies.
If anyone’s interested I can clean it up and post it somewhere.

I don’t think John Hostettler’s comments have anything to do with terrorism.
What I don’t understand is the actual reason he and his buddies want to close the Canada – U.S. border.
Can either of my readers enlighten me?
*Update:* There is one simple explanation floating around. Some factions within the US want to close the southern borders (both Mexico and Carribean), without creating the perception that they are singling out those borders for special treatment. For that to work, they have to close the Canadian border too.
Also, this is an election year, and politicians are experts at playing on irrational fears…
He’s a convicted terrorist felon. (He tried to bring a loaded handgun onto a plane) Why do you care? :-)
I would be curious to see intelligence numbers on known terrorist cell members in the US vs Canada, and whather the US is a “terrorist threat” to Canadian borders. Fsck ya. (Um, how do you feel about profanity in blog comments? Feel free to edit those last two words and this question)

I’m ready for my vacation now…
Queen’s Guard, eh? Have you read “His Majesty’s Dragon” yet?
Harald Koch says: Nope, but I’ve added it to the book list…
I know the textile URL format is appealing but you should be warned that a) it doesn’t transfer across into the RSS feed (at least not as you have it configured now) and if you ever find yourself transferring your blog to another server (as I have done) you may find (as happened to me) that you have loads of old archived material whose links don’t work because the new server doesn’t parse them and translate them. You probably could write a script to translate them on your server of course…
P.S. When you first mentioned the Queen’s Guard I thought you had joined the Canadian army – some reserve regiment I never heard of. Seemed unlikely of course but…
This appears to only be a problem with the old (rss1.0) feed, which nobody should use anymore. For now I’m redirecting it to the RSS2 feed (which most clients should handle); eventually I’ll disable it altogether.
I am setting up yet another political blog and I am very interested in the plug-in you’ve described for automatically linking between posts and from posts to a bibliography.
Can I get a copy?
