Sad news…not really

Well I have been contemplating this. It’s sad when it seems no one is posting on my blog…with the exception of pops. Even the wife doesn’t read it…or post obviously. I had much higher hopes to spread the word of what is happening in my life so I could stay in contact. I guess blogs [...]

New User registration changes

I got tired of Russian bots registering users since I allow anyone to register. This caused about 20+ fake user registrations to happen each month. So now a new user can create their own password, fill in all the necessary info, etc. The only new requirement is CAPTCHA. This keeps my email address clean on [...]

Lets get more contributors

If there is anyone who would like to post articles on my website, let me know and I can give you more access so that you can contribute to the site. With the kid and my job, I have less time but I want to make an effort to try get more frequent updates and [...]

Update to site

I think I have worked the bugs out on the website. My last post regarding this matter was wiped in the process. I was expecting that so I wasn’t too concerned. For all those that post on the site, you may have to log in again. I hope I got all the settings back to [...]

Read all about it. Extra Extra.

I decided to update WordPress to the new version 2.7. Hooray. And what does that mean for most of you? Nothing except the contact form is broken. I am working on getting that fixed. I will hopefully be adding new features to the site soon such as bringing the gallery back. Once it’s back I [...]

New server

Well it looks like I had a successful migration from an Ensim server to a new cPanel server. Nice to see it wasn’t too bad to move things. Just had to run a Transfer from Ensim in the cPanel WHM, rename user account to original one, stop MySQL service, Move for all my databases, run [...]

Layout

I have made a few changes to the website and hope to add some things that can make posting comments easier as well as make the site a little better. I am trying to improve the layout and to make my site stand out a bit. Let me know what you think. Please post comments [...]

New Site / Old Site

I was supposed to be working on the new site. I haven’t had time which is a real shame. I was excited. Between work and home life, I have not had an opportunity to even learn the new content management system or figure how to import all the existing content. So I am re-enabling the [...]

New/alternate location

I just wanted to let everyone know that there is an alternate location to login to the site. Look to the upper left and you will see a heading that says login. There you can login (for existing users) or register (for the uninitiated). Hope to see more people posting comments. Thanks.

Where are they…?

I would like to take this time to post a query to Wunderville and Dacaprice. Where are you guys at. Lazy bastards, get your sites back up. Don’t just use MySpace or Facebook or other end/home user website services. Make your own shit…come on now.

Family from Texas and a website update

I had a wonderful visit the other day (September 7, 2007) at my Aunt Joyce and Uncle Steve’s house. Earlier in the week, I received a call from my cousin Brandon where he stated he was going to be in the area with his parents (Uncle Ben and Aunt Elaine) and one of his sisters [...]

Next Couple of Weeks

To let everyone know, I will be changing around the look of the site in the next week or so. This one is not working for me too well. I don’t know how many times it will change but I will post as needed. I need to find a style that suits me personally…at least [...]

More Website updates

Well I think I have the new layout stablized. This theme was a little different as it was coded in XHTML with PHP and CSS code. The code needed a lot of tweaking to get a logo in the header. I had to remove my site description and the layout still does not look right [...]

Website update

I decided it was time to remove the theme switching capabilities. Too many problems having people change the website to look different from what I intend it to look like. Also fixed the link to Ali’s website. It is now pointing to his new company website and not the old one. There is also a [...]

Website Quirks

If anyone experiences weird behavior with the site over the next couple of weeks or so, it is because I will be experimenting with different themes for the website. I may have a poll afterwards to see what people liked. I am getting bored with the look of the site which is why I am [...]

The Poll is Back!!!

UPDATE #2: The new poll is now working. Unfortunately, I had to remove the Poll Archive to do this but what are you gonna do? UPDATE: The new POLL plug-in is not working the way it should. Stay Tuned. I put a new poll up so please vote.

Backend updates to the website

I spent the night and early morning (check out the post time). I have manually upgraded WordPress (blog back end) and Coppermine (Gallery back end) to the latest versions. There may be slight changes as I get all background plugins updated. I may decide to finally do something with the colors and/or theme. Stay tuned [...]

Poll

Since I could not think of a relevant poll right now, I have temporarily disabled polling. Anyone can still access the poll archive.

Special 100th Episode

Well it seems that the previous post was the 100th post. I figured if TV shows celebrate 100th episode as a milestone, I can too.

New Poll

I have a new poll up for anyone that wants to comment.
