I've started a new project to build and maintain my site and of course it has to come with a new blog post. I'm trying to have it generate an index based on the files in this directory. -I don't want it to include anything beyond the first paragraph, though. +I don't want it to include anything beyond the first paragraph, though. Now I +need to write some content so that it doesn't stay at a 1 minute read. If the +average reading speed is 225 words per minute (it's probably not, but that's +just what I've set my value to right now), I need at least 450 words to go above +the 2 minutes. This means I have to write more nonsense into this post. + +It was fun getting the dynamic block up and working, although I still need to +get rid of the =#+BEGIN: blog-posts= from the export. It's really hard to write +enough words for this. + +I'm just going to add some Riker ipsum... + +I I am your worst nightmare! Damage report! Talk about going nowhere fast. +Commander William Riker of the Starship Enterprise. Your shields were failing, +sir. You bet I'm agitated! I may be surrounded by insanity, but I am not insane. +Now, how the hell do we defeat an enemy that knows us better than we know +ourselves? Sorry, Data. When has justice ever been as simple as a rule book? +Some days you get the bear, and some days the bear gets you. Maybe if we felt +any human loss as keenly as we feel one of those close to us, human history +would be far less bloody. You're going to be an interesting companion, Mr. Data. +Fate. It protects fools, little children, and ships named "Enterprise." Well, +that's certainly good to know. The look in your eyes, I recognize it. You used +to have it for me. How long can two people talk about nothing? Your head is not +an artifact! I recommend you don't fire until you're within 40,000 kilometers. A +surprise party? Mr. Worf, I hate surprise parties. I would *never* do that to you. +Sure. You'd be surprised how far a hug goes with Geordi, or Worf. We have a +saboteur aboard. Worf, It's better than music. It's jazz. I think you've let +your personal feelings cloud your judgement. The Federation's gone; the Borg is +everywhere! The game's not big enough unless it scares you a little. What? We're +not at all alike! They were just sucked into space. I will obey your orders. I +will serve this ship as First Officer. And in an attack against the Enterprise, +I will die with this crew. But I will not break my oath of loyalty to Starfleet. +My oath is between Captain Kargan and myself. Your only concern is with how you +obey my orders. Or do you prefer the rank of prisoner to that of lieutenant? +Computer, belay that order. I can't. As much as I care about you, my first duty +is to the ship. Maybe if we felt any human loss as keenly as we feel one of +those close to us, human history would be far less bloody. Shields up! Rrrrred +alert! Mr. Crusher, ready a collision course with the Borg ship. Yes, +absolutely, I do indeed concur, wholeheartedly! What's a knock-out like you +doing in a computer-generated gin joint like this? Ensign Babyface! Well, I'll +say this for him - he's sure of himself. Why don't we just give everybody a +promotion and call it a night - 'Commander'? I suggest you drop it, Mr. Data. +Travel time to the nearest starbase? This is not about revenge. This is about +justice. About four years. I got tired of hearing how young I looked. and attack +the Romulans. I'm afraid I still don't understand, sir. Then maybe you should +consider this: if anything happens to them, Starfleet is going to want a full +investigation. A lot of things can change in twelve years, Admiral. Computer, +lights up! We know you're dealing in stolen ore. But I wanna talk about the +assassination attempt on Lieutenant Worf. Some days you get the bear, and some +days the bear gets you. I'd like to think that I haven't changed those things, +sir. Is it my imagination, or have tempers become a little frayed on the ship +lately? Besides, you look good in a dress. When has justice ever been as simple +as a rule book? Wouldn't that bring about chaos? But the probability of making a +six is no greater than that of rolling a seven. Did you come here for something +in particular or just general Riker-bashing? Captain, why are we out here +chasing comets? In all trust, there is the possibility for betrayal. Wait a +minute - you've been declared dead. You can't give orders around here. Not if I +weaken first. I've had twelve years to think about it. And if I had it to do +over again, I would have grabbed the phaser and pointed it at you instead of +them. We could cause a diplomatic crisis. Take the ship into the Neutral Zone +Fear is the true enemy, the only enemy. Now we know what they mean by 'advanced' +tactical training. And blowing into maximum warp speed, you appeared for an +instant to be in two places at once. Fate protects fools, little children and +ships named Enterprise. The Enterprise computer system is controlled by three +primary main processor cores, cross-linked with a redundant melacortz ramistat, +fourteen kiloquad interface modules. For an android with no feelings, he sure +managed to evoke them in others. Could someone survive inside a transporter +buffer for 75 years? Our neural pathways have become accustomed to your sensory +input patterns. That might've been one of the shortest assignments in the +history of Starfleet. I guess it's better to be lucky than good. Mr. Worf, you +do remember how to fire phasers? The unexpected is our normal routine. Yesterday +I did not know how to eat gagh. Earl Grey tea, watercress sandwiches... and +Bularian canapés? Are you up for promotion? -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
