We’re closing in on the two-thirds point of the month of July, and what are people looking for from me? Well, fully twenty percent of all searches landing on this website–over 160 thus far this month–are looking for information about Captain Jack Harkness. Beyond that, it’s the typical. “Is Stephen Fry writing a Doctor WhoContinue reading “On the Latest Search Phrases”

On Technical Difficulties
Just an FYI. My e-mail server is… acting up. Incoming e-mails are… chancey. Outgoing e-mails are a crapshoot. If you’ve sent me an e-mail, I may not have seen it. If I’ve sent you an e-mail, it may not have gone out. In the meantime, if you need to flag my attention, leave a commentContinue reading “On Technical Difficulties”
On the Latest Search Phrase News
Since I had to go onto the server last night, I did a search phrase dump. I have to tell you, there’s nothing surprising about the search phrases the last two weeks. Honestly, the top twenty are the same sorts of things I’ve written about before. No, Stephen Fry still isn’t writing a Doctor WhoContinue reading “On the Latest Search Phrase News”
On Redecoration
I’d felt the itch for a few weeks. I wanted a different look and feel for the website. It wasn’t that I’d grown disenchanted with the Tarski theme, as I hadn’t. Truthfully, I think it’s a fantastic layout and extremely extensible as long-time readers of this website know–using the same basic layout I’ve gone fromContinue reading “On Redecoration”
On Testing the LJ Crossposter
And twenty-four hours later, the LJ Crossposter appears to be working again. We shall see. 😉 Now to see if editing a post breaks things… I put up the windows on my car. It’s supposed to drop down into the forties tonight. Put in the key, turn the ignition, and what do I hear? Nickelback.Continue reading “On Testing the LJ Crossposter”
On the Latest Upgrade
WordPress 2.2 released on Tuesday. And we’ve upgraded. After my experience with the 2.1 upgrade I was wary. First, the 2.1 upgrade didn’t seem to work at all. Then, the sidebar links broke, as did smileys. Finally, I rewrote some .php code in my sidebar, fixed the sidebar links, and all was right again withContinue reading “On the Latest Upgrade”
On Today's Weird Search Phrase
I am a stats fiend. I admit it, anyone who knows me knows I know numbers. Since I installed the Automattic Stats plug-in for WordPress I’ve been getting lots of really interesting data. It’s no trouble at all to just fire up the WordPress admin screens and take a look at how many hits I’veContinue reading “On Today's Weird Search Phrase”
On More WordPress Work
It’s a Sunday, so that means “Let’s mess around with WordPress!” Today was no exception. Changes were made, but they’re nothing that you, readers, would see. Rather, I installed two new plug-ins that make changes on the backend that I see when I write posts, approve comments, and the like. The one front-end change IContinue reading “On More WordPress Work”
On Housekeeping Notes
I think it’s done. I think I’ve tinkered with every last little bit of .CSS that needed tinkering. The Doctor Who roundel background has been replaced. We’ve gone from a classic series-style roundel to a new series-style roundel. Post tagging is a lot more complete, though there’s still about a year and a half’s worthContinue reading “On Housekeeping Notes”
On Things I Am Not
From time to time I like to pull the logs of the search phrases used to reach this fine webpage. I wonder at times… What topics do people think I can offer insight into? What do people want to know? How can I educate? Instead, I discover that people think I run a fan club.Continue reading “On Things I Am Not”
