Medallion Hunt Clue #2

Clue #2
Posted: Monday, Jan. 22, 2007

Boreas’ vast realm can overwhelm
Even diggers used to the long haul
So here’s advice to put your hunt on ice:
Look no farther than good old St. Paul

Well this analysis comes a little late (page updated after clue 3!) but it’s early, I’d been working for 12 hours, and I thought I’d get the site’s neat tag system functioning especially for this hunt before I start trying to think about what I should write. On the right column and at the bottom you’ll see “tags”. Tags are the newfangled way of indexing articles on the Internet, if you haven’t seen them yet, and apart from some of the features which I may tone down a bit, like the resized/colored text, it’s a really neat idea. Take this next lnk:

You can bookmark the above link and any posts I make which I ‘tag’ appropriately will be listed when you visit it. However, http://www.matthewanderson.com/tag/medallion-hunt will catch all posts involving the medallion hunt (both links would show the same stuff until next year or other non-relevant medallion hunt information surfaces). Tagging improves with use (incentive to keep writing!) so over time it will provide an interesting index where simple ‘categories’ end up massively cluttered and difficult to search.

Enough of that mumbo jumbo. however. On with the hunt!

Updated Wordpress

Well, since I’d recently assembled a Wordpress site for a friend, I figured I ought to upgrade my installation as well since it was quite old. Interestingly enough there seems to be a rather robust spam protection plugin included that I’ve switched on. Hopefully it works well and I can turn off comment moderation!

I suck at Flash

Okay, so I wanted a way to share a handful of tunes with everyone in a lazy manner. I’ve got an audio player up that you should be able to find. It’s going to get better over time, but for now it’s pretty decent.

Well, what have we here?

I’m one of those guys that doesn’t like blogs but has one anyway.
