The Women Bloggers Are Right Here

Molly asked the question and I’m here to provide an answer. It may seem strange that a white male is providing the answer, but I step in and help where I can. Even though we pale males are over-represented in the blog-o-whirl, we still serve a purpose sometimes.\ I’m not sure why this is a […]

Redesign In Progress

Got tired of waiting… I’m not done, but you get the idea. More colors! Some re-arranging of stuff! A little more art, and hopefully some good stuff. I just passed 1500 posts on this blog. This will be 1505. 1500 was, appropriately enough, this one.\ I started blogging almost five years ago (there’s still a […]

Taggy Goodness

If you’ve got a keen eye, you may notice some changes around here. I’ve started playing with making my MT categories tag-like, and then using rel=”tag” on the categories to make them all Technorati friendly.\ Why? I think it’s cool, which is the only reason to ever do anything on a blog.\ My only issue […]

Tagged With “Love”

On conference calls recently, I’ve been browsing Flickr tags. Here’s a handful of my favorites: Burning Man Beach Monkey Baby Mirror Football Dancing Jump Have I mentioned how much I love Flickr? I mean it, I really do. Oh, and this burning man photo is my current favorite photo. It’s spiffy.

Happy in Many Languages

Hey look, I may be sick, but I can make people happy in many different languages. I think I comprehended most of it, and Beto’s very happy to have Movable Type installed on his iMac… and so am I. Yes, I’m still sick. Not sick enough to stay home (that’s a pretty high threshold for […]

OS X Blogging Tools Roundup

After my full-time switch to OS X, I’m finding all kinds of great tools to make blogging easier and happier. This here is my incomplete list of things that make blog writing/reading life easier: A Local Copy of Movable Type: I knew it made life easier, but when you use the same computer all the […]

In an attempt to woo

In an attempt to woo me further, the lovely couple who give the world Movable Type released a new version yesterday with support for MySQL, which is kind of what I was waiting for. Now there’s no excuse other than time, and now that I’ve installed it once, I think I’d be OK installing it […]

So, I got Movable Type

So, I got Movable Type installed on the uber-box (running, of course, AOLserver). It was surprisingly easy. I didn’t have a lot of the required Perl modules installed, but that was also extremely easy to fix. I may just have to go migrate myself. I don’t know about Jen and Max though. We’ll see, I […]

So, my site’s been moved.

So, my site’s been moved. I now have MySQL, PHP and all the other cool things that make things… ummm… yeah… cool. So, now that I have PHP and a database, should I do like everyone else and install Movable Type? I know there are other pieces of software out there that accomplish the same […]

There’s nothing like coming in

There’s nothing like coming in to work and running from the start. It’s 11am now, and I’ve been working on fire after fire since 8:45. It’s satisfying but exhausting. It’s time for a nap, I think. Has anyone else noticed that I post a lot more now that I’m using mozBlog?
