Certification strangeness...
Update: Thank you for your support, mobius --
I'm
happy to find that I'm not the only person who finds
interest in diverse computing environments (which was
the main part of my earlier entry, so I'm guessing that's
your interest). If that's worth a Journeyer cert, then so
be it , and thank you for letting me know where the cert
came from. I would imagine that the trust metric works
the other way, too -- that future certs will be given to put
me in the category in which I belong. Hopefully raph
tuned that side of things, too. [end update]
It seems that mobius
has been
having a go at playing with
raph's
adjustment to the trust
metric.
No offense, mobius -- but if you certed me
to
Journeyer from Observer as part of an experiment,
please drop that cert, and certify me to whatever level
you wish to based on my contributions to the
community.
I've never been one to ring my own bell, but
while I
have made contributions to the community,
I
don't think a bunch of bug reports and patches and a
couple of crappy projects make one a Journeyer. Or do
they? Part of the reason why I finally created an
account here (after seeming aeons of lurking) was to
discover to what extent a random codegeek is known in
the community.
I look forward to that discovery, and more.
But
please, undeserved certs do more harm than good.
For all anyone knows, I could be the most obnoxious
troll and cunning liar on the planet.
Unofficial bug report
A proper one will follow, raph. It seems
that if a
tag
(I noticed the behaviour with an href, but the rest are
likely candidates, too) gets wrapped in the diary
submission form, it gets interpreted as not being a tag.
I just about wound up with the HTML of a link being
posted, rather than the link. I'll have a look through
mod_virgule (if that's
even the right place
to look -- I'll find that out soon, I guess) and see if I can
understand the code, and send a patch if I can.
Update: I think I have found the right file
(nice_htext.c), but it's time to go meet up with
friends for a farewell for a friend who is leaving town. I'll
look at it tomorrow. The patch will be against virgule
1.1, the latest available on SourceForge. [end update]
Further update:
Agreed, raph. Also, thank
you for clearing up (for me) which version of the code
actually runs Advogato. Next time I will know which
project to patch. [end update]
