Chris — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 06:42:20 +0000

I noticed that a) I hadn’t posted on… a long time, and b) the site was done. So, it’s time to start over again.

Deep Thoughts

I’m turning on some Jack Handy action. Love the thoughts.

This plugin displays one Deep Thought with Jack Handy from SNL on your WordPress blog a day. (See my sidebar – at main or on a page – for a live example.)

Longer Posts – Livewriter

Chris — Sun, 12 Nov 2006 06:04:44 +0000

Since I actually have a much better way to write posts now (Live Writer) you might see more long, rambling posts. I tend to write big rants and such late at night, but either post them to my other sites (and later delete the site) or email them to the select few suckers that I feel like harrasing. We’ll see if that changes.

WordPress: Back Again

Chris — Sun, 12 Nov 2006 04:37:46 +0000

I have migrated the site back to WordPress. I’m not having as much time to work on functionality I want in the site, so I figured I would try this again. Migrating all the system data back is mostly done, but you may notice more bugs than usual for a while. Oh well.

Content Caching

I'm testing out some caching, so let me know if you notice a speedup, or, more likely, error messages.

Go Vote For Me on Consumating

Chris — Wed, 23 Aug 2006 21:38:07 +0000

You may notice some Consumating questions appearing around here. Once again, I'm testing a few things with xmlrpc support. Next up I'm working on a full xmlrpc interface to Monkey Attack to make integration with services like Consumating and applications like Live Writer easier.

Oh, and I'm sad and need votes:

Sex and Babies = Bad

Chris — Thu, 17 Aug 2006 11:44:09 +0000

Billy, its about time we had a little talk about the birds and the bees, and the trannie midgets.

I just realized I posted a story about freaky rock and roll sex right before one about rock and roll music for babies. That just seems wrong.

Writing and Blogging

Chris — Sun, 13 Aug 2006 18:09:56 +0000

I am trying to write again. We'll see how long this streak lasts. I expect one day to finish something I'm working on. Don't hold your breath though.

This time I am working on a basic story. At first I was writing it in a comic book script style. I had final draft going with a comics template and everything. Then I decided that was too much work. Worrying about formatting the text, and thinking about laying out the panels was talking to much of my already meager bran juices. So now I'm just writing free form. Its crap, but at least I am getting some of the ideas down. I'll come back later and fix it up.

Initially I was just writing this in MS Word, and then saving it to a thumbdrive. Then I kept losing the thumbdrive, or leaving it plugged into a computer. So that idea wasn't working too well.

Then I starting using Box.net. It works well, and I could organize files into folders so I could keep everything organized. I did have some problems with my network connection at home being down, but for the most part it was working. The only real issue I was having was remembering to sync my files up. I was using NetDrive for a while to just map a drive and work directly on the server, but I was getting stability issues doing that.

So my latest latest time wasting plan to save time is to blog my drafts. No thumbdrives to lose. No software to install if I don't want to. No problems with Sync if I am only, and the ability to save local drafts if I plan on being offline. I have been trying out a few different blogging desktop apps, just to get a little simpler startup process when I am ready to type something up. This is being written with the Windows Live Writer on my PC, though on started it on Qumana on my eMachines OS X laptop (have to keep my geek cred up some how).

Comments Are Back Up… Mostly

Chris — Tue, 08 Aug 2006 21:07:45 +0000

The comments should be working about as much as anything else. Wooo!

I added a basic captcha system, which should reduce the amount of comment spam I'm getting. I'll work on making it all look better, and maybe adding threading at some point down the road.

Post Categories

Chris — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 23:30:49 +0000

I have made the category icons on the right side links. Clicking on one will show you other stories in that same category. I’m working on pagination, so for now you will get all the results.

Tags and Searching

Chris — Sun, 23 Jul 2006 22:14:43 +0000

I have changed the links for the tags for each story to stay local. If you click on a tag now it will pull up previous stories with that tag. I have also added a Tag Search over on the right side. As with everything else around here this is beta. Let me know if its broken and how. Tthanks.

Hey, go buy some schwag! I need the money and the validation about how much I'm loved. OK, mostly the money. I also except money directly, if you have sworn off earthly things.

For those of you that have already given (Derek), thanks. For those of you that have done work for free (Frank) thanks. To the rest of you… don't worry, I still love you. Just not as much.
