Perhaps more than a week ago, while browsing around my site, I found this shocking message in the comments section: I really don’t know why something inside me told me the hacker-like message pointed to the Gravatar plugin installed on this site, but sadly, Googling around confirmed my suspicions. Apparently it was a debugging message for the Gravatars2 plugin. …Getting no gravatar back from gravatar.com is very common. I removed […]
This feature of WordPress the_date() template tag is quirky to me, but I guess it works that way in most blog engines out there. I came across this cautionary message in the WordPress Codex for the_date() function, pointed to me through the Support Forum when I had trouble getting to show dates in some posts (I was tinkering with another layout I made).
I have absolute faith in Akismet. All the spam that piles up under that submenu feels much less annoying because Akismet’s there. And although I, like her, am usually ticked off that there are hundreds of spam comments that plague Qwerky ever so often, the first spam attempt at Stellify made me smile. And I’ve never needed to try any WordPress anti-spam plugin since. Just a reminder, though, Akismet is […]
Birth First, the unavoidable: I don’t know the precise time Firefox 2.0 was released on the 24th, but as far as I know, they released on time and gave their homepage a makeover as well. Many people reported Mozilla sneaked in 2.0 onto their servers a day early, but the developers got a bit irritated they didn’t trust the promised release date and proclaimed otherwise–a minor matter of snooping around […]
What the title says. And, because I’m feeling extra-generous, here are some more noteworthy articles to digg: In 10 years all the software available will be free. Of course. Amazing online organizer. Amazing UI indeed. Touchscreen iPod this December. Let’s see about that. iPod Nano commercial light streaks. Good to go.
GYM stands for Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft, FYI. The phrase was coined by Om Malik and became a loathed word. “GYM Free” means avoiding blogging about either one of the big three. It’s an interesting challenge but may not be effective.
First, is it wrong to be unenthusiastic about side projects at this point? I just want to stop juggling things around. Pandora Squared* looked like a good place to be even if I could only agree to a part time arrangement, but I couldn’t stand the thought of adding another job just because the opportunity looked good. Now there’s another, something much much larger if done alone and from scratch, […]
I was shocked to learn I had only approximately 3 gigabytes left on my primary partition, out of a whopping forty (that’s not counting the other forty on the other partitions). It’s only been a few days since I’ve installed programs and moved files over to Risk. Heck, I haven’t even installed the huge Photoshop CS2, much less the whole CS2 suite! So I installed Folder Size to see what […]
