There is a new security update for WordPress, which I’ve already installed without any serious mishap/problems. If you run WordPress, you might think about giving it an upgrade. [tags]Wordpress,Blogging,Security[/tags] Addendum: I’ve been having minor problems with the Dashboard in this release not displaying correctly.  I’m still trying to figure it out.

Yep, it’s another release of WordPress, mostly fixing some open bugs/problems from the 2.0 release.  I’ll be upgrading to this in the next couple of days, so expect a minor amount of downtime in the next day or two. WordPress Development Blog › 2.0.1 Release [tags]Wordpress,Blogging[/tags]

Here’s a useful little chunk of Javascript which can probably be put to good use on your website: Lightbox JS is a simple, unobtrusive script used to to overlay images on the current page. It’s a snap to setup and works on all modern browsers. It works quite well, and is also somewhat instructive. I […]

Well, I’ve upgraded to WordPress 2.0. Like all previous upgrades that I’ve performed, this one seems to have gone without a hitch, and all things that I expected to work seems to work just fine. The biggest change that is immediately visible is the new posting interface, which uses a WYSIWG type interface. It seems […]

I think I’m gonna try to upgrade to WordPress 2 on the 2nd. If you can’t reach this site, you’ll know what’s up. See you when I’m back alive!

It appears that version 2.0 of WordPress is available for download. I’ll try to give a head’s up when I’ll upgrade.

If you really are doing it for the love, why bother assigning a number to it? Let’s put it another way: if my goal is to maximize the value that I create, I obviously can do that in a couple of different ways, I can either choose to concentrate and create things which are truly […]

KNBR has posted a very nice tribute to Bay Area sportscasting legend Bill King. It’s amazing to me the breadth and depth of his experience and talent, and how many important events in sports history he was calling. Truly an amazing career. Check it out.

I remember reading Russell Beattie’s blog, where he said that merely by posting something about the Apple or Macintosh, his traffic doubled or tripled or something. If I was using Adsense or something, then the recent back and forth I’ve been doing with Scoble might make me a few cents. As it is, I have […]

Josh mentioned this Houston blogger as one of those who is going to remain in his home and ride out the storm. I’ll be checking in from time to time to see how its going. Jkotr also mentioned Stormwatchers, a blog for Houston area bloggers who are similarly riding out the storm. Good luck everyone. […]

I’m always on the lookout for new blogs to read. Unfortunately, it is often hard to find blogs that are interesting. I suspect that is because most of the blogs that I find interesting are in the long tail, rather than the short head, and search engines rely on the short head. For instance, witness […]

Today’s podcast recaps a bunch of topics which have floated to the top of my conciousness: a recap of last night’s baseball game, my experience in programming the old Atari 2600 video console, what it might mean to have a video game console which promoted consumer experimentation and programming, some musings about Field Programmable Gate […]

Boing Boing thinks that the Juicyfruit gum blog blows chunks for many of the same reasons that I mentioned in response to a WSJ article on corporate blogging. Just what do you think you can learn from corporate blogs like this?

I received an email a couple of days ago from someone who thoughtfully noted that someone was stealing bandwidth from my by hotlinking to images in my /images directory. Effectively these people use your webserver to serve images for their websites. It’s tacky: kind of like filling your pockets with napkins and packets of ketchup […]

Most of the time when I bother to blog about things that are going on in my life, I tend to do it in the form of an impromptu podcast. Today my wife woke me up and said that we should go out to Infineon Raceway and catch the qualifying for tomorrow’s Indy Racing League […]
