If you have Dunstan's Time Since installed, this plugin uses it for the title="" attributes on the comments and posts. (For WordPress 1.5) Author: Brian Meidell Author URI: http://meidell.dk/ Version 1.5: Now works without LOCK TABLE and CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE priviledges. Version 1.5.1: Can't remember what I did here Version 1.5.2: Fixed count select statement to not include spammy comments Version 1.5.3: Properly excludes track- and pingbacks Version 1.5.4: Excludes posts that are not published, even if they have comments Version 1.5.5: Fade old comments, fixed bug that wreaked havoc with Time Since Version 1.5.6: Bugfix from Jonas Rabbe (http://www.jonas.rabbe.com/) pertaining to timesince Version 1.5.7: Bugfix so old colors can be darker than new colors (stupid oversight), thanks to http://spiri.dk for spotting it. Bugfix where single digit hex would cause invalid colors, thanks to http://www.wereldkeuken.be/ for the fix. Version 1.5.8: Updated to work with WordPress 2.1 alpha by M.

    • Here's my review of Night Two of Phish at Alpine Valley – http://bit.ly/acu9Ss #phish #highimpactset2 #

    • @peteforgets Heh, I don't know about that. I think it was a more "generic" rock riff that sounded like WLL created by the toy guitar #
    • So, @phishnet has the BDTNL jam containing a Norweigan Wood tease. What do you think? Not quite, imho. #
    • If I'm the only person that digs Prince Caspian so be it. I've really enjoyed every version since Miami and last night's was unique as fuck #
