Wordpress

I was working on my Dept 56 pages when I discovered that all child pages of a top level page would be displayed in the sidebar. I don't really want that. I want child pages to be linked from the top level page only. That way the hierarchy isn't stuffed […]

WordPress hack: disabling showing page children

Thu October 19, 2006 in Wordpress tagged dept 56 / Wordpress

So someone in this big ol' planet found my little blog entry about the Hanso Foundation image and linked to it on Technorati. I followed a thread about this and found that at least a few people thought I was crazy and had no clue what I was talking […]

Fun with Lost, again.

Iâ€™ve spent the past couple of weeks upgrading all my systems at home.Â My firewall is finally updated to a recent Linux distribution and I built a new staging/build server with lots of horsepower and disk space.Â I then migrated all the data from multiple machines onto the one staging […]

When I first encountered WordPress, I already had a blog package written (XIMBlog) for my own personal use. I used that blog as a lab notebook, both at home and at work (well, mylast job anyway). Maintaining yet another software package just didn’t appeal to me so I switched to […]

On blogging.

I played with WordPress yesterday and, if you’ve been here before, you can see the results. I changed to a three column layout and modified the header block so its a big ol’ image. I’m not completely crazy about the colors – they don’t look so good on my LCD […]

Last month I stumbled across a color chooser called ColorMixers. Today I found another one: Visibone. This one is a little nicer in that the colors you choose are listed with three letter codes using their color in each other color. In this way you can see how any of […]

Another color chooser for the web

I’ve hit a couple of snags in trying to do various types of upgrades. The first is related to upgrading, or rather porting, my GTK+ software from 1.2 to 2.x. The second is in upgrading my laptop at work from RH9 to Fedora. Related posts Upgrade addendum: other packages of […]

Who said upgrading wouldn’t be hard?

Iâ€™ve been looking for something like â€œlargestâ€ for some time now. â€œLargestâ€ was a command line tool, for Solaris I believe, that would tell you which were the top 10 largest files on a system. I could easily write a tool like that but I knew someone would have already […]

Cool Tool of the Day: Filelight

Wow. WordPress really rocks. It only took about 5 minutes to get it up and running (as advertised), though it took another 30-45 minutes to run through the myriad of configurable options. All this was done on my staging server at home, which used a different domain name than the […]

Migration from staging to production server complete.

I’ve fallen victim to the advancing world around me. No longer will I persue the wild dreams of my own blog software. Nay. I’m now a child of WordPress. What I need now is to convert my logging front end (based on vi) to work with the XML-RPC API so […]

And so it begins…
