New Journal Design
As some of you may have noticed, I’ve made a few changes to my journal page. Recently I’ve been playing with a bunch of plugins for MovableType, and decided to use some of them here. The book image and my new book page use the MTAmazon plugin to grab the image links and book information directly from Amazon. The book collection itself is managed using the BookQueue plugin, which let’s me scan most of my books in using my Cuecat barcode scanner, which is pretty slick. For some reason though, paperbacks don’t use the same barcode scheme as hardcover books, so they can’t be scanned. The Netflix info is gathered by part of the Netflix Suite of plugins.
I’m also working on a couple of new plugins based on the Netflix Suite to pull information from my game and DVD collections on IGN and DVD Aficionado. I’ll write more about those once I get them working. The game collection plugin is half working at the moment, and I hope to get it together by the end of the week.
NICE! I like the redesign. I especially like the side with the book and movie plugins. You think you could whip something up for me for what CD I’m listening too?
Yeah, probably. If you just want to maintain it by hand, you can just use the MTAmazon plugin to grab the info using the ASIN. That’s what the Currently Playing thing is doing currently.
Oooh. Good idea. Have I mentioned that you kick ass? Cause you do.
