It turns out that the recent WordPress upgrade broke my RSS feeds because I failed to re-enable a plugin that I disabled. It was a bit confusing because everything seemed to work without the plugin, so I figured I didn’t need it. I’ve got that one in my notes now.
Still more Bling comin’ at ya. Hopefully the site’s a bit easier on the eyes now.
The photo in the title is one I took while playing around with my new 50mm f/1.8 Nikkor lens. With the right adapter the lens can be mounted in reverse and used as a pretty decent macro lens. [...]
Those of you browsing the site with Safari or Firefox (or other webkit/gecko-based browsers) may notice a bit of extra bling on the site now. Safari users get maximum bling, Firefox users get slight bling, others … no bling for you! I guess I should post some screenshots to show you what you’re [...]
Wordpress 2.0.4 is out, and during the upgrade process I came to realize that I was potentially serving some unexpected content on my website. I’m using subversion to manage my installs of several web apps, and it turns out that the .svn directories that it litters about were actually accessible if you crafted a [...]
In my continuing quest for blogging/content-management bliss I’ve decided to migrate my website to WordPress. The migration has been painful, but now it appears to be complete enough that I can take the site live. You probably aren’t noticing any dramatic differences, since I ported my oh-so-sexy green and orange theme to WordPress, [...]
Since I just upgraded my photo album to a package that supports RSS feeds I thought I'd write an introduction to RSS for people who haven't encountered it before. If you're a web-tech expert, then this post is probably not going to be interesting to you.
So n8blog got its first round of comment spam last night. I figured this would
come up at some point, but I had hoped that the relative obscurity of PyBlosxom
and my site might keep the bogeyman at bay. But there it was. About 20 people
left comments, and golly, they all just [...]
For those of you who haven't used a blogging tool like Blosxom or PyBlosxom, the way it works is that you put all your blog entries into a directory hierarchy that reflects the categories that you want these entries to go into. This is kind of appealing to people like me, who are used [...]
Blosxom is nice, but unfortunately it's implemented in a write-only language.
This is a problem, because I already have ideas for pushing it in new
directions but I'm constantly confronted by the Perl Problem.
Luckily, any time something worthwhile is written in Perl, somebody comes
along and rewrites it in Python (and Ruby, and Scheme, and countless other
flavors [...]
