It would be nice if this were an automated feature of the website versus something lukeprog has to spend time on.

[lukeprog]

″...versus something lukeprog’s assistant has to spend time on.”

[Rubix]

Perhaps lukeprog’s assistant should make a separate account to post these through, to avoid getting this complaint every time they make such a post.

Eh.

[Dorikka]

He could get paid in karma, too. ;P

I updated my PHP script to be able to generate a post index, sortable by votes.

[gwern]

Well, it pretty much is: http://​​lesswrong.com/​​user/​​Kaj_Sotala/​​submitted/​​

It’s just that Kaj is bad about using summary breaks and so the page is a pain to navigate; contrast with my submissions.

[tgb]

The lack of sorting by up-votes is unfortunate.

[Kaj_Sotala]

Eeep! Thank you.

Reading them now, many of my earlier posts (including some relatively upvoted ones) feel embarassingly badly written. It’s a wonder how much one can improve in just a couple of years.

Wow, the titles-only index is way more readable than the other broken ways to get this sort of thing.
