What Makes Neocities' "Special Sauce" Sort So Special

Somewhat recently, Neocities changed the default sorting algorithm from the most followed sites, to what they call "Special Sauce". Special Sauce has been a sorting algorithm on Neocities for a few years now, dating back as far back as August 2015. However, only about a month ago was it fully implemented as the default sorting algorithm. You may be wondering, why's it so special? How does it sort? I know I was when I found out about the change. I decided to do some poking around on the Neocities GitHub repo (thanks for keeping things open source here Kyle!) and I found the code that determines your score. (It's in models/site.rb and can be found from lines 1481 to 1618.) However, for those less interested in deciphering the code, here's my understanding of how it works. Your score is calculated based on a multitude of statistics, as well as your account's general standing, and it maxes out at 100 points. The calculation starts with 0 points. First, you're...

"Weird Al" Yankovic - Bigger & Weirder Set Predictions

 OH. MY GOD. IT'S HAPPENING. EVERYONE STAY CALM!!! Weird Al just announced his 2025 tour, "Bigger And Weirder". I can't handle waiting until Monday to hear the dates announced, so I just HAD to write down my predictions for what's on the set list!

There's also a pretty good shot that Fun Zone will be the opening song, since it was for the last traditional tour, 2019's "Strings Attached" tour. I'm choosing to disregard the 2018 and 2023 Vanity Tours, seen as they had a different set list every night, and disregarded many of the traditional set list markers that I've mentioned. I have a feeling TMZ will come back for this year's set list, seen as Taylor Swift is one of the biggest pop sensations in the world right now. Thus follows is ...

MiniPost - I'm gonna see Weird Al!

 It's settled! The tickets have been bought, and I'm gonna see Weird Al in concert at the Pinewood Bowl Theater in Lincoln, Nebraska on August 5th, 2025! It's still nearly a year away, but I can promise you that the moment I get home that night, the world will never seem the same. As soon as I get home, I'm gonna write a blog post describing the night, including what songs were played, my favorite parts, any funny interactions between me and the other fans in the audience, really anything! It'll be amazing. Probably.  To quote Creepy Stick... I'm all out of nachos I call my pal "What'cha gonna do?"  "I'm gonna go see Weird Al" "Are You Going To The Weird Al Concert?," Creepy Stick, 2002   EDIT 9/25/2024: I'm getting the VIP package! Look forward to a gallery of concert pictures the day after as well! :D EDIT 9/26/2024: Holy crap, my parents got VIP too!! I'm not planning on posting the pictures with them in frame, bu...
