Backup Often

Published by under Site

A few days ago, I was working with another WordPress installation which is for another project. When I downloaded the config file to update it, I noticed the formatting was screwed up. So I fixed it up so that it looked like it should, uploaded it to the server, and WordPress had a fit. Whatever […]

Grand Theft Auto IV Nears Release

Published by under Gaming

Grand Theft Auto isn’t a series of games I’ve ever played. I can understand why some people love the games, but there hasn’t been anything shown to me that made me want to go out and buy it. It’s just not my thing, I guess. But the level of attention the game gets always interests […]

Another Dell in Production

Published by under Gaming,Personal

I’ve currently got two Dell computers on my desk and I’m about to replace the older one with a new machine. I’ve built my own computers in the past, but I’ve been very happy with the two Dells that I’ve received and really don’t enjoy building my own. The odds of getting a component that […]

Trying new FTP Program

Published by under Other

I’ve been working on webpages off and on since 1999 and over the years I’ve used a lot of FTP programs. Being cheap, it can be difficult to find a free FTP program that’s worth my trouble. But I’ve found a few that I’ve liked, but they seem to always die in development. The last […]

Ken Griffey Jr. Nears 600th Home Run

Published by under Other

I came across a post on another site courtesy of Digg this afternoon regarding Ken Griffey Jr.’s home run total. He’s currently at 596, four away from the next milestone of 600. And there’s very little press about this. When I was younger, I collected baseball cards with a frenzy. I still have some of […]

New Tower Defense Game

Published by under Gaming

There have been a series of tower defense games that I’ve played online for free over the past year or so. They’re all simple strategy games that can really make time fly by. Well, a new one has popped up and it’s a little different from some of the others I’ve played. In previous games, […]

Akismet Still Catching Spam

Published by under Site

When I initially activated the WordPress plugin Akismet, I was a little apprehensive. I didn’t know if it would slow down the site or even catch the spam my little blog seems to attract. But after a few months of running, Akismet has caught over seven hundred spam comments and trackbacks… 711 to be exact. […]

Vista vs XP

Published by under Gaming,Personal

I’ve seen a lot of headlines about Windows Vista and XP on sites like digg lately. Vista isn’t being purchased by businesses because of drivers, slowness of machines, memory consumption, etc, and some people seem to think that Vista is doomed. I just don’t see MS giving up on the OS anytime soon. As bloated […]

WordPress 2.5 Flash Image Uploader

Published by under Site

I’ve had nothing but trouble with the image uploader ever since 2.5 was released. For some reason, the developers felt it was necessary to use Flash to upload the images. I kept getting HTTP errors for some reason and judging by many of the other WordPress users, I’m not alone. I found a lot of […]
