End of Silence

According to the Dreamhost people, my WordPress install got hacked. I tried upgrading from 2.5 to 2.5.1 today and even though their install bot claimed that I’d upgraded, everything in WordPress still said I was on 2.5. I’m not sure if the hack that was exploited was the one fixed in 2.5.1, but now everything’s [...]

Apparently, my web server is moving data centers and will be down from 11PM tonight to 11AM tomorrow (CDT).

I don’t know what’s causing the formatting problems with the delicious auto posting, so I killed it. I’m going to try to resume proper blog posting. If you liked following the links, you can find add the RSS feed or just check the page. It should be linked over on the right as well.

I don’t know what it is, but lately I’ve been getting hammered with comment spam, which seems really odd since this blog has essentially become a mirror of my delicious links with a few legitimate posts thrown in for good measure.
I’ve got a few posts that I’ve been meaning to complete for several weeks, but [...]

I was forced into another Wordpress upgrade this week. My hosting provider upgraded their version of PHP and recommended upgrading into a version of Wordpress that was apparently hacked, so I had to upgrade again. I hadn’t ever really done much of a blogroll in the past, so I’m rolling it out now. Check those [...]

Maybe Google’s Blogger shouldn’t have come out of beta just yet…
I’ve noticed over the last week or so that some of the Blogger-hosted blogs that I subscribe to via Bloglines have disappeared. I did a test post over on my Blogger account that I never use. Chris also mentioned something about this today.
Blogger’s been encouraging [...]

The 20th of this month was my 5 year blogaversary. The first post was January 20th 2002. I’m on my third hosting provider and my second blogging platform since that time. I’m still at the same company and the nearly three-year-old who was driving me insane at that time will be 8 tomorrow.

After nearly a year on WordPress, I finally moved all of the photo albums that had been in Gallery to Flickr. I also corrected all of the internal links that were based on my old content management system. Of course, this won’t fix all of the external links that have also been bad for the [...]

Somebody must think my blog is a depressing read because I’m getting completely hammered with spam for an antidepressant that rhymes with “smell boot trim” over the past 24 hours. I’m not the only one having this problem as David Sifry’s latest State of the Blogosphere says that 70% of the pings that Technorati receives [...]

Letting del.icio.us autopost my links for the day has turned this into a bookmark blog. It wouldn’t be so bad if I’d actually post something here once in a while. I’ve been channelling most of my blogging energy over at the Austin Metblog. I resurrected the sidebars that show what I’m currently reading, listening to, [...]
