It's the week of Grand Theft Auto IV at Mahalo this week. If you play video games like me, you'll probably want to read the Grand Theft Auto 4 Cheats before you check out the Grand Theft Auto 4 Walkthrough.

If the Wii and Mario Kart is more your style, check out my brother's blog. He updates regularly with new insights into the Wii and Wii games.

If you like to read about food, or if eating is one of your hobbies, check out Fast Food Critic. Just try not to read the nutrition information posted with each review.

And for no reason at all, here's our dog Pedro trying on his Halloween costume a few years back. You can see the Scape-o-lantern on the coffee table behind him.

This CSV files contains the username, number of frontpage stories, number of submitted stories, number of stories dugg, and number of profile views for the top 1,000 users on Digg.

Top 1000 Diggers as of 2007/05/23

In other Digg news, the last 13 stories from this blog that have been submitted to Digg have all been buried. This includes posts about TubeStop, Twits Like Me, the Digg Top Users list, ScribeFire, and Wii-specific Web design. (Contrast this search page with this search page.) This means one of three things:

1. Everything I write is lame.
2. There is a group of Digg users specifically burying content from my site.
3. eFinke.com is on some sort of Digg blacklist and is being automatically buried by the system.

I'm leaning towards #2, but I don't know how they would track submissions from my site since the only way to do that has been broken for months.

If you'd like to be notified whenever I release a new dataset, you can subscribe to the Digg Statisical Data RSS feed, which will include only the dataset posts, or my main RSS feed, which is updated with all of my blog posts.

I've updated the Greencode Wordpress theme (which I'm using on my site) to version 0.4. Since version 0.3, I've added a a custom view for the Nintendo Wii (screenshot below), refined the tag cloud, and fixed a few miscellaneous bugs.

You can download the newest version from the Greencode homepage.

I've optimized my blog (and thus my Greencode Wordpress theme) for browsing on the Nintendo Wii. So if you read my blog on the Wii, it will look like this:

It was pretty easy, and you can do it too, by following these two simple steps:

1. Create a Wii-friendly stylesheet. This is similar to creating a mobile-friendly stylesheet, and it involves enlarging the text, removing superfluous crap, and just making your site easier to read from a distance. You can see the stylesheet I created here.

2. Serve the Wii stylesheet to Wii users. The user-agent string of the Wii will be something like Opera/9.00 (Nintendo Wii; U; ; 1309-9; en), so in PHP, you can accompish this like so:

if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "Wii;") !== false){
[... wii stylesheet ...]
} else {
[... regular stylesheets ...]
}


And just for fun, I also added an "Optimized for the Nintendo Wii" watermark in the top-right corner and enabled the Wii stylesheet for anyone who adds "?wii=1" to the end of a URL. For example, here is the Wii-friendly version of this post.

It's a Friday, Netscape 9 development is humming along, tonight is Casino Night at my wife's work, I found and bought a Wii today, and tomorrow is my birthday. Life is good.

I have the best wife ever. For Valentine's Day, Christina got me Pixar's Cars videogame for the Nintendo Wii with an "IOU One Wii" note attached. Then, we had a Super Nintendo MarioKart tournament (her idea). Oh, and her card to me included the phrase "If you were a booger, I'd pick you first."

Sigh... How did I get so lucky?
