Hey all…. If any of you are trying to register on my blog to post or post comments please send me an email first to warn me. I’ve gotten a few registration requests lately with I email addresses I don’t recognize. Since being registered lets you see things others can’t i’m kind of careful about [...]
One of the things I struggle with constantly is how much I can post on here due to the public nature of the blog. This stuff is open to pretty much everyone who dances into it which, while cool most of the time, proves a problem when I wanna talk about ‘pete stuff’ that I [...]
no one is posting comments to my blog? Is commenting broken? Am I not writing anything comment-worthy… Or do you all just hate me?
(just kidding - just worried that the move to wordpress broke comments for folks)…

Once again I spent way too much time futzing with my blog when I should have been doing other things… But as a result I now have a brand shiny new WP blog with all of my old content and a shiny new look. This is an example of a powerful tool (MT) falling down [...]
I figured i’d log what was going on with my blog should someone else hit the problem… The basic problem was a few weeks or a month ago I started getting failures when using ecto to post to my blog. The failures showed up in an ecto error dialog as this:
Parsing Failure!
Could not parse response [...]
So i’ve spent a few hours mucking with my style sheet to get it looking less like the stock one you can get from the MT folks and more like my own thing… The colors were picked by Kevin again but i’m still not 100% sold on the brown thing.. Unfortunately, i’m not coming up [...]
So i’ve spent way too long farting around with my site layout and so far look what I’ve come up with… NOTHING… I’ve managed to get my picture display up top back up (and added the ability to rotate these images randomly with some PHP magic I found on we web) but aside from that [...]
Hey Folks… Please bear with me… As I said earlier - my blog was attacked this morning / last night by a hacker that did a pretty phenominal job of hosing it… After multiple attempts to re-construct it in place only to have it re-tagged I decided to do a fresh re-install and reload of [...]
Starting to get my main page back to normal… next trick wil be all the second level pages… uggg… this is killin me!

Please bear with me.. I upgraded my blog to MT 3 and, in the course of doing that, managed to kill all of my templates so i’m rebuilding the blog from scratch.. unfortunately that means that, while i’ve got all of the content (which is the important stuff) a whole bunch of the little tweaks [...]
Uggg… Is it just me or has the volume of blog spam gone WAY up. I woke up this morning to about 20 new spam comments. Its super easy for me to blast ‘em and I see ‘em come in so they don’t stick for very long (especially given how often I read email).. But [...]
I’ve disabled my comments sections from displaying people’s email addresses… I had the ‘protect spam’ setting set before but a buddy got a strange email to his email referencing my blog which caused me to worry. Upon poking around I realized the protect against spam setting in MT didn’t do much that a novice engineer [...]
of turning off comments… FUCK I hate Spammers… I would love to get my mits on just one of those bastards and smack ‘em around. it feels like such a violation.
Sorry.. just had to vent after blasting a whole collection of ‘em… now back to our regularly scheduled program…

I’ve been using Kung-Log for some time to post to my blog and have been LOVING It… Really handy interface to MT that is very Mac OS X friendly.. Well I went to their website today and it looks like they’ve been busy… There is a new iteration on Kung-Log called ‘ecto‘ that seems like [...]
Do you like to shop? Why or why not? Not at all… And why? Because I don’t have the cash for the things I really want to buy. Clothes and toys are so damn expensive. The only thing I really enjoy shopping for are books - and my bedroom and office are evidence. I think [...]
Argggg… Something happened overnight and my blogrolls have gotten hosed - everything listed has been replaced by a single link… not sure if blogrolling got hacked or if its just a bug but until it gets fixed I’m pulling mine…
Bums me out.. thats where I kept my links to all my favorite blogs… Arggggggggg
UPDATE: [...]
Just got back from having a beer with Corin, his partner Jett and a friend of theirs from some time ago… Corin and Jett were out visiting San Francisco for the weekend and our schedules finally collided tonight.. Was great meeting all of them - VERY nice guys.. Felt bad though cuz I was [...]
He just pointed me at a couple of fun tools that I had to share:
- HyperEdit: A simple live HTML editor that allows you to edit HTML with style sheets and even PHP and watch the effects on your page as you edit… It does a rather poor job of syntax coloring (I prefer BBEdit [...]
Since I’ve switched to the new domain I’ve been watching search terms and referrers to see if the folks that found the old location have found the new ones.. I’ve also been watching what google search terms are leading folks here… Funny part is there seems to be one thing that is getting folks from [...]
I added one more bit on here today… Have to see if anyone can figure out what it was…

Got home from a party a little wile ago and started futzing with my blog and now its an hour later and I REALLY should be in bed…
BUT..
I got collapsable sections working so I could clean things up a bit.. Still need to look at the interface some to make how it works a little [...]
So I’ve spent the day being a total geek… I’ve added MTMacros to my blog and used those to add smileys like and :* to my blog ( thanks to Lisa )… I also added comment preview code… Seems silly i suppose but its a good way to learn how this stuff works!
if [...]
