Wordpress 2.5’s admin interface has a different color scheme, but don’t fear! There’s a new version (0.1.1) of the Random, Out of Context fj Quote Plugin-Thing for WordPress so you can still have your fj-quote goodness.

So, the two of you that use that plugin should download the new version.

Name: Random, Out of Context fj Quote Plugin-Thing for Wordpress
Author: Scumdog Steev
Version: 0.1.1
Last updated: 31 March 2008
Download: [ .zip ] | [ view source (.phps) ]
On wp-plugins.net: http://wp-plugins.net/plugin/fj-quotes/

-[ description ]-
 
This is the WordPress plugin version of the “Random, Out-of-Context fj Quote-Thing.” As can probably be figured from the title, it displays a random quote from a text file (by default, the “fjquotes.txt” file on my site) in the upper right of your admin screen on every page. The concept (and, indeed, much of the code, simple as it is) is ripped off from the “Hello Dolly” plugin by Matt Mullenweg that ships with WordPress.

-[ installation ]-

1. Download the file fj-plugin.zip and unzip it into your /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
   -OR-
   Copy and paste the the code (fj-plugin.phps) into a file called fj-plugin.php, and put that file into your /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. OPTIONAL: Edit fj-plugin.php to call the correct text file of quotes (one per line). By default, this is set to the “fjquotes.txt” file that accompanies the non-plugin version of this project. You could change it to a local file (or any other text file; this would be ideal for Bible verses or whatever, if you’re into that sort of thing). If you copy the “fjquotes.txt” file to your server and change the path in the plugin, this will work. However, as new quotes are added to the main “fjquotes.txt” file, you won’t get them. It’s up to you.
3. Activate the plugin from your WordPress admin ‘Plugins’ page.

***** Announcing the Random, Out-of-Context fj Quote-Thing by GwD/Chach-O-Rama *****

- Who?

You, chach. Check it out.

A webpage that, when reloaded, displays a random, out-of-context quote by fastjack.

- When?

Like now, and shit. The shit now.

- Where?

http://www.chach-house.net/~lobo/fjquotes/

- Why?

It’s a good thing to check out if you can’t get your fix-o-fastjack.

Besides, it’s all on Seth’s bandwidth, so feel free to reload as often as you want.

- How

It’s a stupid 4 line php script. Whee.

so, fastjack is a friend of mine. he’s one of the most witty and quotable people i’ve ever met. for several months, i’ve been logging quotes (out-of-context, naturally) from him that came up at various times during IM conversations. yesterday, i decided to put them all in a text file and write a php script that pulls one up at random when the page is reloaded. so here it is. (also, apparently some IRC fellows in the austin area (particularly lasher/sam) had a similar idea a long time ago; theirs was implemented as a bot. anyway, they gave me the quote file used by the bot, effectively doubling the number of quotes in the file. so, yeah, visit the above URL. reload a few times (or a bunch of times). laugh, cry.
