5 Fedora 11 was released this past week and I’ve already downloaded the various netinst and DVD ISO images for both 32bit and 64bit systems at home. I’ve got 5 computers to upgrade: 1 development server, 1 MythTV server, my desktop, 1 Myth client and my laptop. Since I’ve now […]
Preparing for Fedora 11: Installation on the Acer laptop
I’ve added some slide presentations, with the help of Slideshare.net, to the Writings section. There is a presentation on using PmWiki for Project Management and a presentation on using WordPress as a CMS. I’ve also added a slide presentation on my book site on GIMP and Linux in Hollywood. Comments, […]

Judging from the most used searches and posts (thank you wordpress stats), interest in the Intel Xorg. driver is extremely high. While it’s easy to see that’s true on the X.org mailing list, looking at my own blog stats was the first time I realized other end users were having […]
Intel driver updates: 2.5.99.2 and 2.6.0, plus a little about ...
I finally upgraded to WordPress 2.7 for both my personal blog and my book (the Artist’s Guide to the GIMP) web site. As part of the upgrade I switched both sites to a new theme: ByteTips. This theme is extremely clean when viewed in Firefox and seems to work well […]
WordPress updates
As the year grows to a close I find myself finishing up projects and preparing for the new year. I put together roughly 90,000 lines of code this year on a single project with one other developer, probably split somewhere around 80/20. It is, as I’ve told him, our boss […]
Top ten things I’ve learned about software development
1 Migrations to new releases of Fedora are not a huge problem for me since I use a separate partition for system files (including repository managed packages) and separate partitions for home directories (/home), multimedia files (/store and /music), and web server root directories (also under /home). About the only […]
Migrating a MythTV server from pre-Fedora 10 to Fedora 10
While making notes on my upgrade to Fedora 7 I discovered that my WYSIWIG editor in WordPress 2.2.1 was seriously broken. When I hit the Save or Save and Continue Editing buttons I was told that navigating away from the current page would lose all my edits. So I had […]
Another upgrade issue: TinyMCE Editor in WordPress 2.2.1
I’ve been doing a lot of web site development lately, all of it based on using WordPress as a CMS (Content Management System). I’ve found that V2.0 of WordPress makes an excellent CMS if you just dig around for the right set of plugins to go with it. Lately, I’ve […]
WordPress Plugins: Advanced Menus, Counterize, Simple Forum, Popup Image ...
There is a lot of information on the net about using WordPress as a CMS (content management system), in other words using WP as the foundation for a regular (non-blog) website. But that information is kind of spread out and not completely clear on the process required. Fortunately, it’s very […]
Using WordPress as a CMS: making e-Commerce Lite work on ...
Just thought I’d give a plug to this very cool Firefox plugin. It provides browser side blog editing and automated submission. What it does is provide an editing area (with minimal highlighting and formatting, but sufficient for quick posts, plus HTML editing mode) in your browser without having to log […]
WordPress plugin: Performancing
Let's face it: the old GIMP Gallery was the ugliest hack of PHP knonw to mankind. Hey, I was fiddling. I couldn't find a good gallery product so I wrote my own. Well, I finally found one that works under WordPress . It's called PhotoShow. Very slick and easy […]
