I’ve finally gotten around to updating my wordpress install, and I’m going whole hog with SVN checkout. Everything went extremely smoothly aside from a weird configuration file issue. Used instructions here. Now that I’m above 2.3 I’m also going to start using tags. This is coolness.

I’ve also started using markdown. [...]

There’s been another little bru-ha-ha over at Flickr, as a user had an image and accompanying comments deleted because someone complained. In this case, the user had a number of her images appropriated, prints were made and sold. When she confronted them, they basically took them down, blamed a supplier and won’t re-imburse [...]

First up: More work on learningphoto.com. All the non-photo entries are removed. Individual entries now have navigation (which is going to get prettied up soon) and look like the front page. The RSS2 and Atom feeds are working properly, and now I just have to work on enclosures for both. [...]

Well, for those who’ve been reading this blog a while, you know that in recent months, I’ve been letting my other web sites languish in disrepair. Mainly because new work duties have been killing a lot of my free time and energy. Advertising income from both sites was extremely minor, and the time [...]

I gotta say, I’m really diggin my Mixed Grill plan from textdrive. I’ve got some stuff backing up to strongspace via rsync, and I’ve got my Joyent account mapped to my own domain. Very cool.

I do have to say, I’m torn between moving more of my e-mail over to Joyent or Gmail. [...]

Render Unto Caesar Finally filed my taxes the other day. Turbo tax [...]

Seems like almost everyone I know is moving over to Wordpress as their blogging engine. I made the move for most of my own sites about 6 months ago, and haven’t looked back.

Looks like Zeldman has finally joined the fold and started using wordpress to publish his previously hand-edited site. It’s great to [...]

Qwest was out here for the last time today. Turns out that at the phone room, there’s nothing more than 608k/sec available for the upstream, even at the server room. We checked speeds out at the box, and it was at 1228 down and 512 up. On either pair into the condo, [...]

Comments are off once again for TechGoesBoom as this morning I started getting about 3 spams a minute. While they are going into moderation, and not showing up on the site, I have no desire to manually moderate the hundreds of spams coming in.

I’m going to look again at spam solutions for MT3.2, but [...]

This weekend contains a martial arts seminar, some training, having a birthday dinner, and hopefully some photography. Good times.

So yeah, next wednesday. 30. 3 Decades. I was talking to my sister in law and brother in New York the other day, and they asked me how it felt. Truthfully, besides [...]
