  1. WordPress Plugged In 1.5.1.1 Beta

    I’ve updated my WordPress Plugged In install to version 1.5.1.1 – it still has the “beta” label on it though as I haven’t had time to test it out thoroughly. Like the 1.5.1 release, this contains my WP plugins, already installed: WP Grins Since Last Visit WP Photos WP Unformatted WP Mobile Edition Extended JS…

  2. Helping Out

    I spent this morning meeting with my friend’s start-up (non-profit) adoption agency. I’m helping them set up a WordPress powered site (like my King Design site) so they can grow and maintain it themselves. We walked through their requirements, I showed them how to create and edit content1 and in a month or so, I…

  3. Recovered

    I’m pretty well recovered from my weekend by now. It was a lot of fun to spend time with some good friends, many of whom happen to be ex-coworkers. I love the friends I’ve made here in Denver, but having never worked at a software company here, I don’t have the same network of techy…

  4. Slogging Through E-mail

    Note to self: Hey Alex, if an e-mail account stops working, get it fixed immediately rather than waiting a month. The e-mails don’t stop piling up just because you stopped getting them on your end.

  6. WordPress Breaks Copy-Paste

    I’m obviously a fan of WordPress. I use it here and on several sites and have donated a good deal of my time to help it succeed and have also contributed code and bug fixes in the past (though none recently). That said, the default ‘texturized’ output from WordPress gives me a few major headaches.…

  7. WordPress Plugged In 1.5.1 Beta

    I’ve created another “Plugged In” version of WordPress, this time of 1.5.1 that includes all my plugins fully installed and enabled. This has had only light testing, so I’m calling it a beta for now – user beware. 😉 Download (415k) Hopefully I’ll get some time to update the individual plugins and instructions for each…

  8. Server Downtime

    Last night, my server ran out of disk space – oops! Everything should be back to normal now, but if you e-mailed me in the last 10 hours and haven’t gotten a response yet you should probably re-send.

  9. Tiger Installed

    I’ve completed what was perhaps the slowest Mac OS upgrade I’ve ever done. The install itself took about an hour, then 35 minutes for it to index my e-mail (when I launched Mail.app) and see that I need to wait another 77 4 hours for Spotlight to index all my files. 🙂 Everything seems to…

  11. Some Warranty

    Last week I bought a new chairmat because the one I was using had cracked and was crumbling near the center. When I removed the sticker before putting it on the floor, I noticed a “3 year warranty” claim on the sticker. This caught my eye because I’d bought the mat I was replacing less…
