Just so you don’t think this blog is fading away, I’ve had a frenetic couple of days (in a good way, I’m not complaining) that’s kept me from even checking my email. We plan to return to our regularly scheduled agenda of fascinating and stimulating posts very soon.
Monday I updated The Company’s Movable Type blog platform to the latest (4.1 to 4.2). Problems galore in the installation, which had to be done manually, with permissions. It took a solid half hour. Then the real problems hit: missing redirects, broken search. We’re still hammering out the kinks.
Tonight I updated my WordPress blog [...]
Inspired by the work of Anthony Cartouche, I’ve been trying to post something on this blog every day. Some days it’s been touch-and-go, but today marks a solid month without missing a day. Thanks to the team here at tom-mcgee.com world headquarters and, if things go well, I might post something tomorrow that’s actually meaningful — instead of filler like this.
No, not here. Old friend and sometimes contributor Anthony Cartouche is filling in for Roger Ailes (no, not that one) while he’s off on vacation. Here’s hoping A.C. gets another fifteen minutes of fame to match the quarter-hour he got last year when both Huffington Post and Atrios linked to one of his posts. This year, shoot for the moon — a recommendation on Kos!
Tags being The Big Thing, I’ve been diligently going through all my old posts and tagging them. I’ve got it so that there are only three remaining ones without any tags at all. The way I see it, there are two possible approaches. One is to be deadly serious and arrange all your topics and [...]
I decided to go ahead with the new theme, based on one of my “Great Swamp” photos. I’m still debugging it in some of the more obscure browsers (I’m looking at you, IE6), so let me know if you see anything especially wrong.
Some of the new features are the calendar that lets you hover [...]
As of 1Q 2008, IE still dominates the browser market with something like 79% of the market. But as they say, your mileage may vary. Here’s a small samplling of how it varies by content type.
Working off of stats from a few sites I manage or have access to reports for, I found that [...]
I don’t have many sunrise shots — because I don’t want to get up that early! The sun itself isn’t something you take a picture of. But I’ve got some sunset shots. What do you make of these?
That, by the way, is the way the cloud really looked — like a big paint stroke. Here’s [...]
This site’s design is a little over two years old, and it’s time for a change. I’m working on something that looks roughly like this, though with the spacing and font colors adjusted so it’s legible:
Click through to see the five candidates, and vote for your favorite.
Now I apologize in advance if you got one of those messages from “Pulse” signed by me. Here I thought this was a legitimate social networking site. Not that I need another social networking site in addition to FaceBook (which I barely need anyway) and LinkedIn, but I got an invite from someone I know, so I accepted.
I envisioned headlines like, “Lifelong Indians Fan Found In Pool Of Blood.” But Anthony Cartouche is back blogging, with a top-10 list of reasons why he hasn’t been posting — and grist for this blog so I don’t have to come up with reasons of my own anymore. Welcome back, A.C.
But really, I’ve got [...]
I finally got around to upgrading the blog software. There’s a generation of plugins coming on line that weren’t compatible with the version I’d been using. One of the toys I wanted to work in is a poll. Click through and try it out!
