Continued WordPress Post Numbering

13th June, 2009

My further experimentation led me to requiring the current number of a post which there is surprisingly little information about, so I ended up working something out from scratch.

I’ve posted it on the wordpress forum in case it proves useful for anyone else: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/245629

Update: Since this is now closed, I have included the code I made originally here:


function Get_Post_Number($postID){
$temp_query = $wp_query;
$postNumberQuery = new WP_Query('orderby=date&posts_per_page=-1');
$counter = 1;
$postCount = 0;
if($postNumberQuery->have_posts()) :
while ($postNumberQuery->have_posts()) : $postNumberQuery->the_post();
if ($postID == get_the_ID()){
$postCount = $counter;
} else {
$counter++;
}
endwhile; endif;
wp_reset_query();
$wp_query = $temp_query;
return $postCount;
}

WordPress Post Numbering

A plugin that will produce similar links to those found at the bottom of a google or flickr results page.

Unfortunately this wasn’t quite what I was after, since it works with the existing pagination system of WordPress.

Wheatstone Bridge

23rd April, 2009

A possible means of measuring a specific resistance of an unknown component, skin for instance is to use a Wheatstone Bridge. Basically by measuring current across the centre of the bridge, and comparing the difference between one side which is a known value, the resistance of the unknown component can be obtained. If the unknown and known resistances were the same, then a current of 0V would flow through the centre.

Hunt for GSR Measurement

20th April, 2009

My hunt for circuit schematics has obviously been ongoing for a while but I hadn’t really discovered much worthwhile until lately. Eventually I came across an excellently documented electronics project for producing a polygraph, one measurement of which it is taking is Galvanic Skin Response:

Useful DXUT DirectX Pages

10th March, 2009

Rather than simply tagging this page I thought it more appropriate to draw greater attention to it for myself:

Non-verbal Social Communication in Virtual Reality

9th January, 2009

While searching for writing on forms of communication and a perception of social liberation in virtual worlds, I came across the journals of Nick Yee, exactly the sort of stuff I’m looking for for my dissertation. Here are the relevant links:
