This date on the blog, or stealing a feature I found on another blog

Kirk Israel [1] has an interesting feature on this blog, the “thisday [2]” link, which displays all the entries for a given day (and here is February 26^TH [3] in case you are reading this sometime in the future). It's a neat concept, and one I could certainly use. There have been times (usually on holidays) where I'd like to see what I've written so as not to repeat myself [4]. So that usually involves opening up a bunch of tabs of, say, July 4^TH (and as of writing this, that would be 14 tabs) but no longer! Now I (and you) can see what I've written for every Fourth of July holiday [5]. All that's left is to generate links to the next and previous day, as well as maybe a link in the sidebar to all the entries for a given day.

[A round tuit? Here you go. You know you have three more of these on your desk? —Editor / I … um … erm … shut up! —Sean] [6]

While the feature was easy to add to the website, I have yet to do so for my gopher mirror [7]. I'm still afraid my blog on Gopher is still a second class citizen [8]. I still don't support linking to arbitrary portions of time [9] with the gopher mirror, and I'm not sure if I will ever get around to it.
