Productively non-productive

December 3rd, 2007 · 8 Comments

Thanks to all my friends for sending their condolences in various venues. I am uplifted by your care. I’m a right proper heathen but if your views run differently and you can spare a thought for my aunt’s family right now that’d be awesome.
She was a rock for that family. For a very long time.

Comment Timeout installed

November 11th, 2007 · 2 Comments

Following Walt’s lead following Jessamyn’s (and others), I finally installed James McKay’s Comment Timeout for WordPress.
For the last couple months, and more so the last couple weeks, spam has really been ratcheting up. In the last 24 hours it has been completely over the top (for me)—more than 10-25 x average.
I am hoping this plugin [...]

Another WP upgrade

May 27th, 2007 · Comments Off

Now that I have my PowerBook back and somewhat restored I have upgraded my WordPress install.
I have also added a few new things on the sidebar for your (or perhaps my) convenience, including recent comments and a category drop down box. I also added a text box to put various quotes (”Words of Wisdom”) in [...]

WordPress help request; commenting issues

May 19th, 2007 · 5 Comments

You don’t have permission to access /blog/wp-comments-post.php on this server.
One of these was from February (just now), but the other was from last week. I am not trying to put in any fancy code, one [...]

Another WP upgrade, 2.1.3

May 6th, 2007 · 2 Comments

It took me a month to get upgraded to the newest version of WordPress thanks to the practically useless backup plugin. <grrrr>
Anyway, I have just finished upgrading to WP 2.1.3. I think things are working; already tested the Contact Form.
As usual, if you notice anything wonky please let me know.

Another upgrade…

March 4th, 2007 · Comments Off

I just completed the upgrade to WordPress 2.1.2, so please let me know if you notice anything wonky.
In case you haven’t heard, if you upgraded to WordPress 2.1.1 in the last week or so—or at all for safety sake—you should immediately upgrade. It seems the downloadable file was hacked. See “WordPress 2.1.1 Dangerous, [...]

Looks like the blog may have survived the upgrade

February 24th, 2007 · 2 Comments

Let me know if anything seems wrong, doesn’t work, etc. I tested the contact form and it’s working. I can see the blog and it looks OK to me in FF on a Mac.
Otherwise, have a great weekend.

If this thing disappears…

February 24th, 2007 · Comments Off

Assuming most folks who actually care if my blog is available are subscribed (quite possibly an invalid assumption), I’m about to attempt upgrading WordPress to 2.1.1.
It will be offline for a while, but hopefully not too long.
