I've stumbled across this topic because it was updated and decided to improve this block.
I suggest to everyone to ignore instructions #1 and #2 from the original post as I've replaced #1 with new instructions and #2 (hacking Geeklog) was not correct anyway. The original block as well as mine call the table directly. I see no sense in doing it otherwise unless it was an official plugin.
I hope to see my version used on the PHPS file as well...and on this site's block, of course.
