After quite a long blogging hiatus, I’ve finally gotten around to fixing the issues with my WordPress database, upgrading to 2.6, and settling on a theme I like.
Now that the annoying stuff is out of the way, I should be writing posts more frequently. Stay tuned…
On a side note, this is my [...]
I’m launching a new blog today: wondr.net. This won’t replace my current blog which will remain as my personal journal. The content on the new site will be for a wider audience and of a less personal nature. I hope to also have some guest bloggers in the not-too-distant future. So what [...]

I’ve upgraded to Wordpress 2.0. Hopefully this won’t spam the the planet. If you see anything broken on my site, let me know.
In an effort to cover the expenses of hosting my website, I’ve decided to start inserting small text ads in every posting starting with this one. They should be targeted to the context of the post and be pretty relevant since it uses an intelligent weighting system. Since I don’t talk about viagra, [...]
Well I finally got rid of Movable Type and made the switch to WordPress. I evaluated WordPress 1.4 and wasn’t terribly impressed but WordPress 1.5 is slick. It only took me about 8 minutes to download, install, and import my MT entries. There are some broken links and that sort of thing, [...]
Nice blogging software comparison chart. Since the license has changed for Movable Type, I’m going to be switching soon. WordPress looks really nice, but has one major downside for me: it doesn’t support multiple blogs with a single installation. I currently have 5 friends who blog here on pubcrawler.org and would really [...]
I hear a lot of people complaining about comment spam on their Movable Type weblogs. Some people have disabled comments, others have moved to a weblog framework that supports accounts. One solution I don’t hear mentioned much is MT-Blacklist, a MT anti-spam plugin. It’s easy to install and very effective particularly when [...]
Ran across this little vim gem:
:runtime! syntax/2html.vim
Basically it writes out the buffer as html with your syntax highlighting. I modified the script to not include the html headers and instead wrap the whole thing in my stylesheet class for code. I also modified the script to change tabs to a few spaces so [...]
After much frustration with PHPNuke, I finally dumped it in favour of Movable Type. I wrote some Perl scripts to convert the database tables for stories and comments to the new format. I’m still playing around with the stylesheet so the visual appearance may change a bit over the next week or so, [...]
