Small Change

Published by James under Site

If you haven’t noticed, I added sub-categories to the large television category. I’ve been meaning to do this for some time now. It’ll take me a while to go through all of the old posts and cross-post them to the appropriate sub-categories, but the organization will be much neater in the long run [...]

Weekend

Published by James under Personal, Site

I’m glad to see that the weekend is coming up. Fridays are always hectic. It’s rush, rush, rush at IGN. But I got all of my work in for the day and managed to get assigned to another show to review. You’ll see links to those reviews here next week…
Ogre, you asked [...]

Spam Blocker

Published by James under Site

Blog spam was a huge pain in the ass for me a while back. I’d get a lot of comments and trackbacks that was mostly related to prescription drugs. Although very few of those comments and trackbacks appeared on the blog, I’d get email notifications about them from wordpress and I’d have to [...]

New Host

Published by James under Site

Well, I’ve got a lot to talk about, but not much time, so I’ll just highlight one thing and that’s the site. I’ve changed hosts. I stuck it out with Dreamhost for an entire year and finally gave up. The site was down more often that it was up it seems.
Hopefully everybody’s [...]

Back to Work

Published by James under Other, Personal, Site

Well IGN began publishing again today after the holiday break and I must admit it’s good to be back. Along with getting the new Dell PC, I moved my computer station to another room. I still haven’t gotten everything unpacked and sorted to where I want, so I’m really “out of it” right [...]

Happy New Years

Published by James under Personal, Site

Well, tomorrow brings about a new year and to be honest, I feel like crap. For the past few days, I’ve felt like I’ve been struck by a cold, and this morning it finally hit. I can’t stop blowing my poor red nose!
It’s been a long time since I became sick. I [...]

Host

Published by James under Site

My website has been very slow for much of today and I’m giving some thought to changing hosts when my subscription runs out. Dreamhost has a history of over-selling and I witness the problems every now and then. I understand that every webhost has it’s hiccup from now and again, but my site’s [...]

Oops

Published by James under Site

When looking at a few old posts, I noticed that the images I uploaded when I posted the article weren’t working. It looks as though I accidentally deleted those images when I upgraded the blog software. I completely forgot about those pictures. So now some posts don’t make much sense without the [...]

Another Upgrade

Published by James under Site

Another upgrade came out from WordPress, so I quickly updated it. Damn, that didn’t take long… two days after I upgraded this thing, another comes out.

Blog Spam

Published by James under Site

I just activated Akismet to deal with the blog spam I’m getting bombarded with. Ogre’s used spam karma, but Akismet should help me out quite a lot. We shall see…
UPDATE:
Less than a full day later, I admit I am loving Akismet so far. It’s blocked quite a lot of spam so far.
