So, yeah, I’ve gone and redone the website. Again. Call it boredom. I’m just never happy with how the website looks. Why Stonehenge? I don’t know. And it’s based on the Kubrick WordPress theme, and I generally don’t like Kubrick. It doesn’t speak to me. Yet, for some reason, Stonehenge and the purple background worked.Continue reading “On New Website Changes”

On Safari
Apple’s web browser for the Macintosh is Safari. About a month ago Apple announced that they would be making a verison of Safari available for the Windows platform, and compulsive tinkerer that I am I immediately downloaded the beta. Which, much to my surprise, worked not at all. I had no menu bar. I hadContinue reading “On Safari”
On 404s and Coding
More pointless techno-geekery! I hadn’t pulled a 404 report off my server in a while. A 404 report, say you? What’s that? Basically, it’s a report that tells me when people tried to access pages that don’t exist on the server. If it’s a full page, they get a message saying that the page hasContinue reading “On 404s and Coding”
On Mood Icons
A few years ago I used Alden Bates’ Dalek mood icons on the blog. Then, for whatever reason, I stopped using mood icons. In retrospect, it was probably that I’d changed the layout and they didn’t “fit” well with whatever layout I had going at the time. So, we’re going to give them another shot.Continue reading “On Mood Icons”
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 Recent Search Phrases
Stat time once more! Here’s a random factoid. In the past two weeks, which is what the server report I pulled this morning covers, twice as many people accessed The World According to Allyn with Windows 3.1 machines as by Amiga machines. I’m just amazed there are people out there, doing the Internet-thing, with WindowsContinue reading “On Recent Search Phrases”
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 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”
