I hope Obama wins in Missouri. No, not because it’s the bellwether state, but because we owe it to electoral maps everywhere to give this man a properly color coordinated election erection.

America, make it happen.

Keyboard page navigation, redux

As a followup to this post I’ve updated my pageturn script to work on any part of the site with paginaiton. To do so, I relied on the getElementById method, which made things incredibly simple. It also means that in order to use the script on your site, you’ll need to specify an id for the pagination hyperlinks in your theme. For mine, I used the ids “older” and “newer.”

Check it out: Press the left or right arrow keys on a date, permalink, or main page and watch with delight.

Feel free to use it, either by linking directly to my script or by downloading and hosting it yourself.

Standing outside the orthodentist’s office, toe socks and sandals. I’m cool. Also: trying tumblrette.

Keyboard page navigation

Try pressing your right/left arrow key.

I mostly did this for an afternoon’s giggles and to reassure myself that I still kind of know javascript. If you’d like to implement it on your own tumblelog, just grab the script below:

/* 	pageturn.js
	created by Ethan Sherbondy
	originally for use at http://iam.tooepic.com
	October, 2008
	Feel free to modify this as you see fit.
*/

document.onkeyup = KeyCheck;

function PageTurn(a_id) {
	var the_url = document.getElementById(a_id).href;
	window.location = the_url;
}

function KeyCheck(e) {
	var KeyID = (window.event) ? event.keyCode : e.keyCode;

	switch(KeyID) {
		// Replace "older" and "newer" with whatever ids you gave your pagination links.
		case 37:
		PageTurn("older");
		break;

		case 39:
		PageTurn("newer");
		break;
	}
}

Fernando Pando by the Virgins, off of their EP. I first discovered these guys a while back via Bill Israel’s Season Opener mix. The song included, She’s Expensive, was from of their first studio album. Though catchy as baseballs, the full album comes off as a bit overproduced next to the EP.

Hey everyone! The new Customize page is live.

It’s a huge interface improvement, and it’s set to handle some big features we’re just about ready to launch.

Please let us know what you think!

Delicious. This addresses all of my qualms, save syntax coloring and a base template for custom themes. Nicely done, tumblr staff.
