WordPress 3.0 – Monk said it straight
When I was in college, I had the opportunity to hear Al Young read from his book, Something about the blues: an unlikely collection of poetry. All my life, I’d only heard Thelonious Monk (middle name Sphere) as instrumental. And Al just read his poetry with a nice beat and no ‘singing’ and suddenly I […]
The Latest Malware Malfeasance
I preface this with I really don’t have time to de-malware everyone’s site who emailed me, so please don’t ask for help right now, I’m not a freelancer for a reason and I’m booked till … Uh, August at this rate. So, no. I’m not going to be able to help you. I am going […]
Are WordPress Books Worth It?
I love books. I’m almost thirty-three and I love reading a book every weekend. I carve out time on the train to read. I get resentful when I can’t read at least for 10 minutes a day. I re-read books constantly. Up until about five years ago, I felt the only way to learn was […]
Take back your inbox!
I’ve re-taken control of my email and right now have no more than 20 emails saved in my 13ish email accounts. Except my work email, which I need to be better about. At home, I don’t use my email as a storage system. Instead I use it like I use voice mail. I get a […]
Followup: I’ve been slashed!
Okay, truth be told I’m laughing at my own stupidity. Ipstenu.org’s been acting like a brat for a couple weeks, and I couldn’t figure out why. Turns out, I was hacked and infected with the Dark Mail virus. Dark Mail is basically a spammer script they put on your webpage that spams people. I found […]
Hack’n’Slash Security
I was intending on a totally different post, but, well, this came up instead. Recently, WordPress, my preferred blogging software, has been under attack by both hackers and critics. There were actually three attcks that all got lumped into one so I’ll try and break this down. If you’re of the ‘To long! Didn’t Read!’ […]
MediaWiki – All Powerful, All Annoying
Don’t get me wrong, I love MediaWiki. It’s ‘overkill’ for what I need, but then again, I wanted a stand-alone ‘encyclopedia’ where primarily text based articles were listed, without the ability to comment. And until someone can trim WordPress to run as fast as MediaWiki, I’m sticking with it. Well, that and they need an […]
The Internet Is For Idiots
I preface this with the acknowledgment that, indeed, some of what I blog is ill-thought out drabble. I don’t exhaustively research what I’m saying every time I say it. But that’s why this is a Blog, and not news website. Even my ‘news’ site that I run isn’t a newspaper, and doesn’t pretend to be. […]
