Since I retired from adding events and such to this site, I thought I'd make up a page to help people use it as an archive. Since it went through several iterations, there are different ways to search based on when an event occurred. As an antibonus, some of the stuff got broken along the way (e.g. blog posts from WordPress don't appear anymore in the HTML lists of events.)
Prior to July 2012, nearly everything was in HTML. Any of that stuff can be searched using the FreeFind search page for JayceLand. This also appears on the right column near the top. Fine … also right here:
Search using FreeFind:Here are some hints for the FreeFind search:
- The old events were listed with commentary all on one page, so it may be hard to find a particular event … for instance, I think the Bug Jar had at least one show listed each week, so it would match every event list.
- Starting in 2005 or so, I added early "SEO" tricks which included a list of common variants of every date included in the listing, so searching for "June 3, 2005" (in quotes as shown) would find the page with events on June 3, 2005.
I started using WordPress as a kind of hybrid in November 2007. The commentary was in WordPress, and the events were still HTML. This will also search past events (after July 2012). The Events tab "search" doesn't work since it only searches for future events (none of which exist at this time.)
So to search for events after July 2012 and/or my commentary after November 2007, it's through the WordPress search:
Here are some hints for the WordPress search:
- In the WordPress search, adding a hyphen negates the search word, so if you want to find something that's not at the Bug Jar, "-bug" or "-jar" would filter out those entries.
- One way or another, dates appear in each of the entries. Searching for the date in quotes in the "YYYY-Mon-D" format like "2015-Oct-24" would find all the events on that date.
- The day of the week not so much, unfortunately, so searching for something on a Tuesday is pretty much impossible.
