Heading: Minor WP updates

Posted in Site on Monday, May 30, 2005 @ 22:33 est

There were a few minor issues that have now been resolved.
The major problem — journal search only displaying one result — has now been fixed. The RSS feeds should now work for posts and comments. I’ve also patched WordPress to v1.5.1.2 to fix a minor security hole. Finally, I’ve installed Scott Yang’s permalink redirector plugin, […]



Heading: A lament for pictures

I guess I never posted this, but, being tired of Windows (and being bored), I recently installed Ubuntu Linux on my computer. As opposed to my previous flings with linux, this time I have been trying to ween myself off Windows and convert completely to the side of good.
As a result, last night, I […]



Heading: WP

I’ve updated WordPress to 1.5.1.1, hoping that it would fix my feed issues. Unfortunately, they still seem to be broken in Firefox



Heading: Singalong

Posted in General @ 19:58 est

The Prodigy’s Smack My Bitch Up is a great song for sing-along. The parts with the female vocalist holding the long notes are especially entertaining. If you have never tried it, you should! It takes me quite a bit of effort to hold the note as long as she does, and I […]

Filipe Fortes has released a fix for his Post Levels plugin. The new version (0.2.1) is now compatible with WordPress 1.5.1.
I have updated the Post Levels Enhancer plugin to be compatible with the new versions of WordPress and PostLevels.



Heading: XMMS Info

Posted in codemonkey @ 02:43 est

I spent a good part of the day trying to hack out a perl plugin for irssi. It’s one of those nifty geeky things that let you show the info of a song currently playing in xmms.
The good thing about this script is that it does not rely on the infopipe method. Not […]



Heading: Funny, funny stuff

Posted in General / Humor on Thursday, May 12, 2005 @ 03:28 est

I love House! It’s the constant cynicism and humor that just crack me up. Consider an example:
Wilson: “Open doors for her, help her with her chair…”
House: “I have been on a date.”
Wilson: “Uhh, not since disco died. … comment on her shoes, her earrings, and then move on to DHA — her dreams, […]



Heading: Early bird gets the worm?

Posted in General / Site on Wednesday, May 11, 2005 @ 01:28 est

For some unknown reason, I became aware of a WordPress update (1.5 -> 1.5.1) only one day after its release. I am not sure what motivated me to jump on the bandwagon and upgrade too, but I am regretting it. There are quite a few kinks with this update, like broken RSS feeds […]



Heading: News Media

Posted in General on Wednesday, May 4, 2005 @ 21:46 est

I have long meant to rant on the absolute absurdity of news media in this country, but have been much too b… err… lazy :). Well, at the moment, I am bored, and I just heard something that pisses me off, so I’ll do a smidgen of ranting.
At the risk of sounding like a […]
