Re^3: Worst week ever?

[kcott]

G'day perldigious,

"Now you made me feel unrepresented and infrequently used kcott. :-)"

Oh, no! Well, we can't have that now, can we?  :-)

Your poem, Posthumous Apologies to Edgar Allen Poe — which, incidentally, I upvoted, along with 25 others (at the time of writing) — was posted too early to be in the range of the Newest Nodes snapshot. Congratulations on Posthumous Apologies to Edgar Allen Poe's high Reputation.

Looking at Perl Poetry, I see gaps, typically lasting weeks, and somtimes months, between posts; your own, Posthumous Apologies to Edgar Allen Poe, was the first post in over four months, and there hasn't been one since (at the time of writing). I think "Infrequent" is a reasonable description.

[Aside: Your link to Poetry, actually returns the home node of a monk named Poetry. I suspect your markup has '[Poetry]'; understandable, given the Section link names at the top of your page, but wrong. I've had these types of name collisions in the past: to avoid any chance of future, such collisions, I use the node's ID, like this: [id://1590|Poetry] ⇒ Poetry (Perl Poetry) and [id://1075685|Poetry] ⇒ Poetry (a monk named Poetry).]

PMD, along with SoPW and others, were not mentioned because they did have entries and I was writing about Sections that didn't. This is why your eagle-eyed Number of replies shown in Monastery Gates incorrect? — which, incidentally, I upvoted, along with 17 others (at the time of writing) — wasn't mentioned. Congratulations on Number of replies shown in Monastery Gates incorrect?'s high Reputation.

[Aside: Your PerlMonks Discussion link is also stuffed: it resolves to a Super Search page. The problem is similar enough to the last to have the same fix, yet dissimilar enough to not include a monk named "PerlMonks Discussion".]

[Aside: Having bagged two of your three links, I thought I'd better say something positive about the third, which does appear to operate correctly. As before, you can remove any chance of a name collision by using a node's ID, e.g. [id://861371|Ken] ⇒ Ken (my home node).]

Hopefully, that resolves the representation issue; frequency may be in the hands of a Muse or two.  :-)

Ah, well that's embarrassing, I obviously didn't check my links. Thank you for pointing them out and for the node ID tip, I believe I have them fixed now. My comment was meant in jest, I agree with your assessment of "infrequent".

"Ah, well that's embarrassing, ..."

No need to be embarrassed. It's just a couple of dud links, which you immediately fixed. We all make mistakes: this is a good thing as we can learn from them. Some years ago, I peppered a page with links like [http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/splice.html|split]: I'm sure everyone has a not too dissimilar yarn they could spin.

Besides, as I used small [Aside: ...] blocks, I imagine few people will pay much attention.  :-)

"... I obviously didn't check my links."

The best time is when you're [preview]‍ing. You can [preview] as often as you want. As it only takes a second or two (YMMV), I typically hit [preview] after most edits: this checks the modifications are as wanted and nothing else is broken.

Tip: Open test links in a new tab/window/panel/whatever: this prevents any issues with the tests, interfering with the preview page.

"Thank you for pointing them out and for the node ID tip, ..."

You're welcome.

"... I believe I have them fixed now."

Thanks for that.

"My comment was meant in jest, ..."

Indubitably.  :-)

"... I agree with your assessment of "infrequent"."

Thanks.
