Zotero, WordPress and COinS

February 11th, 2007 · 5 Comments

While I have no doubt that none of you were actually waiting for this moment, I am fairly excited.
Zotero, the new bibliographic manager from the folks at the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University, have released a WordPress plugin that embeds a COinS tag in each post making the content easily [...]

Mark feeling off

February 5th, 2007 · 2 Comments

I had high hopes of doing some serious rewriting tonight based on the input of some very special people. But despite realizing yesterday that I was starting to feel physically better, tonight when I got home it was back to feeling very poorly. Oh well.
I am sure I will get over it in [...]

Thanks, Blake, for the almost instantaneous response! LISHost rules people!
I just upgraded my WordPress install to version 2.1. Hopefully things are all kosher.
Let me know if you see any wackiness. I know I’m looking forward to exploring some of the new features.
I had to upgrade my backup plugin and haven’t tried it [...]

Another successful WordPress upgrade, I think

January 7th, 2007 · 2 Comments

I just finished upgrading my blog to WordPress 2.0.6.
I believe that I was fully successful although I had a scary moment when all I got was a blank page for either the blog or the Admin panel. Turns out my FTP client did not upload one of the folders I had told it to. [...]

To any WordPress users or mavens out there, do any of you know how to make the categories on an Archive page display in the hierarchy that they are in in the author area(s)?
See my Archive page for what I mean. Scroll down below the months and you’ll see the Categories. They are in [...]

Upgrade; new pics

November 15th, 2006 · Comments Off

Well, the going to bed at 6:30 business didn’t work out quite as well as I wanted. I woke up at around 12:15, took more meds and tried to get back to sleep. No luck. I got up at 12:30.
It’s now 6:35 AM and almost time to get ready for work. [...]

New look here at Off the Mark

November 2nd, 2006 · 4 Comments

Thank you, thank you, thank you Kurt!
The only (simple) thing I cannot swear to have tried yesterday was found by Kurt to fix my missing archives page. Heck, he even had his beer before I met him at the bar, so it didn’t cost me anything but a little time (and clearly less of [...]

It’s not supposed to be this hard!

November 1st, 2006 · 3 Comments

I found a new theme for WordPress that I really like, Cutline. But its default installation doesn’t have a few things I want, like my new contact form, so I’m holding off on activating it. I’ve tried what it says for making the Contact page show up, but it isn’t working.
It also requires a “trick” [...]

Back to earth

October 29th, 2006 · Comments Off

I seem to have exhausted all benefits of having one class over already. I have spent all day so far (till 4:30 PM) on Marked Exercise 2 for Allen. Unit 2 is on Data-oriented modeling: Relation-based systems. This is the 2nd entire unit that I “missed” most of; luckily it is the [...]
