WordPress Upgrade
Know that there are a lot of errors on upgrading. Some files are not updating correctly via SVN. I had to do a fresh install and copy in my config/plugin/theme files. Annoying, but it’s done. I probably won’t be upgrading my other WP sites for a while.

WordPress 3.0 is out!
Looks pretty awesome. I’m about to switch over. Hopefully nothing breaks.

A Word About Our Sponsors
Unlike some other web admins, I respect your ability to choose to have ads blocked. The ad providers brought them upon themselves by making ads really freakin’ annoying into the mid-2000s. I just want to say that I don’t run any of those kinds of ads on this site. I have an ad for Servint,…

Temporary Offline Time Possible
I’m going to be moving my domain over to a new registrar in the next day or so (edit 14 Dec – I got extremely busy this weekend, so expect the possible change next weekend. At least this way there’s more warning time) and this site and other sites on this server may go offline…

Recent Search Terms
Looking over my search statistics I saw the searches that had recently led to my blog. Here are the most recent ones with comments on the strange ones: mythtv totem makehuman review mario 64 3D model – I don’t think I’ve even mentioned this before. I’ve written about Mario and 3D models, but not 3D…

Another Reason The Web Rocks
A while back in time (but only two posts ago) I wrote about my first bike ride on the BWI trail. A few days later I got an email on Facebook: My name is Marty and I happened along your BLOG about biking at the BWI trail. My first time riding the trail was Saturday…

We’re back

Changing Themes Again
I last changed themes in April 2008. It hasn’t quite been a year yet, but as was the trigger last time, the latest version of wordpress doesn’t work with this theme. Last time it was tags and the time before that it was widgets. Now I want a theme that fully supports WordPress 2.7 –…

WordPress 2.7 Released
So, WordPress 2.7 is finally here. It’s their second visual refresh in a year and I have to say they have really outdone themselves. When they did the last change, I thought “wow, there’s no way they could improve on this.” and “I thought their old interface was good, but this makes it look like…

WP Super Cache
My site got pounded today like a beach on a windy day when I appeared on Linux Today. So I decided to install WP Super Cache. This should display cached pages to anyone who isn’t commenting so hopefully it will help my site deal with a lot more traffic. The traffic was so bad I…

Twitter-like Post
A few quickies. 1) I fixed up a bunch of my links. Some of them led to websites that no longer existed, one domain had been bought by a pr0n website. So all my links should go to where they’re supposed to now. 2) I haven’t updated to Feodra 9 yet because I keep hearing that Fedora really jumped the gun on this release and there’s still a ton of stuff broken. Since I use Fedora as my main daily computer, I can’t really sit there wasting time debugging it – especially since I’ve got a few animations that I’m working on. I’ll move it it when it gets a bit more stable. I’m thinking of maybe moving to another distro in the future. Perhaps Mandriva….we’ll see.

This’ll work for now…
I found a WordPress theme that I mostly like called Hal 5.0. I think the top image is a little over the top, but the overall theme is ok. I edited the font size up from the default – the font designer must have amazing eyesight. I also added in tag listings into the blog…

Changing themes again
This theme is really annoying me, mostly because it’s a fixed width theme. That means that the theme doesn’t expand if you expand your Window or have a wide screen monitor. Mostly, it means annoying things like this blog post title. As you can see, it cuts into the metadata such as the date/time. Also…

Gravatar Support is here
Since WordPress 2.5 supports Gravatars, I discovered them and have enabled it. Gravatars are images that appear next to your comments next to this blog. To get one, go to http://en.gravatar.com/ and register one with your email address. Then use that email address when you leave comments on my blog. Right now I’m only allowing…

Viet Zodiac Makes Top 10 on Google!
My Vietnamese Zodiac program is on the first page of Google when you search for the term! In fact, that about 24 people have come to my site looking for that from a search engine as of 29 February! That’s exciting because I know a lot of people don’t look past the first page of…
