iPhone it in

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007

In addition to recently upgrading to Wordpress 2.3, I installed a new plugin called iWPhone. Hopefully, this will make reading this blog easier for people with iPhones. Now if only I had something people with iPhones wanted to read!

Blog Beta

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

I’ve upgraded to Wordpress  2.3, beta 3. Hopefully everything still works fine. Biggest change you might notice is the tags field off on the right of the page. These are self inflicted by me, and the goal would be to reduce the  number of categories listed, and move some of those over into the tag cloud. At [...]

While I’m gone on vacation, Naeem has been good enough to take over moderation duties. While I’m planning, but haven’t yet done, a blog posting for each day I’m gone, I’m not expecting many comments.

web stat counting….

Wednesday, June 14th, 2006

So I discovered one of my legacy web statistics counters started adding in pop up ads. So I’m removing Nedstat, turned into webstat4u from my site. They were only on my static web pages, and I probably won’t finish until I return from the Grand Canyon.
Still, an annoying thing to look at.

Basically, it’s supposed to ask a simple math question, on the assumption that spam bots will fail the test.

Photo Gallery

Sunday, October 16th, 2005

I’ve been a little disappointed in my photograph presentation over the past few years. I’m going to slowly transition over to a php based system.
Check out this and let me know what you think. I can easily batch move my existing files on my server over, and it will create thumbnails for me.
Advantages right now: [...]
