Integrating the new BuySellAds code into Thematic

The old code snip­pet from BuySellAds.com didn’t require to change any­thing in the code of a site/blog; only to be copy­pas­ted into a text wid­get was the deal. The new code is much bet­ter as it is not block­ing the rest of the page while it’s load­ing, but you have to put a code snip­pet right after the open­ing <body> tag on all pages. In Them­atic, this can be eas­ily accom­plished without any plu­gins or theme file hacks, just paste this into the functions.php of your child theme:

1

5

<?php
function bsa_before() { ?>

<!-- BuySellAds.com Ad Code -->
<script type="text/javascript">
(function(){
  var bsa = document.createElement('script');
     bsa.type = 'text/javascript';
     bsa.async = true;
     bsa.src = '//s3.buysellads.com/ac/bsa.js';
  (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]||document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(bsa);
})();
</script>
<!-- END BuySellAds.com Ad Code -->
<?php }

add_action('thematic_before', 'bsa_before');
?>

Then you can put the actual ad slot code from the ‘Get ad code’ page into a text wid­get in your side­bar, or any other place as you wish.

Valentine’s Day

No, that’s not any­one at all. I just doodled it on a bor­rowed touch-phone and that per­son passed it to me after I prom­ised to let him give it to his lover, after remov­ing my nametag.

It dis­turbs me to no end why no blog has rambled about Valentine’s, be it false-fantasy of hav­ing XXX with their mas­cot or about how sad their ron­ery life is.

A Monkey’s Hand IS A Mummy’s Hand IS A Devil’s Hand

And it sucks your life away! From Below!

So I just star­ted to con­tinue watch­ing Bake­monogatari and well, it’s been a little inter­est­ing. A monkey’s hand used to make wishes is obvi­ously a mummy’s hand — what else do you call body parts which are wrapped up with spe­cial paper? But what I didn’t really think about was that such hands were made by a Devil. It makes a lot of sense as it comes with the law of equal­ity; for three wishes, your soul will be devoured. Sim­il­arly, think about genies: Are they really dev­ils too? I mean hell, they also give you three wishes. They have to take some­thing in return.

Bake­monogatari is sort of edu­ca­tion yet not. What I would like to see more of is Sen­jou­ga­hara being a Tsun­dere and less of a Yandere. Of course I could jump to the latest epis­ode and find out what hap­pens or read other people’s blog and fig­ure it out, but that would take away a lot of fun.
