Don’t think I ever mentioned it, but my employer sold their data centers and dedicated web hosting assets (including me) to another company a few months ago. It was great news to us and many good things are already happening. Anyways. This week is my first on new company’s payroll and I arrived at my […]

Error 404 — Not Found
25Dec05Since migrating to WordPress I’ve had some nagging 404 problems. I managed to import my permalinks into WordPress, and crafted some .htaccess rules to handle the major structural differences with categories and RSS feeds, but I completely forgot that there was a 404 script handling certain aspects of my last content upheaval.

Firefox 1.5
16Dec05Over the past two weeks I’ve been upgrading all of my PCs to Firefox 1.5 and getting their configurations matched up. If you haven’t upgraded, you should. It’s faster. So far it’s crashing less. And the Adsense Flicker Dance issue is fixed.

How about giving me just a tiny clue as to where I […]
Radio Userland Migration Bounty
12Dec05I’ve got this old weblog, radio.ntwizards.net, that desperately needs to be migrated out of Radio Userland. I dug the Radio installation out of my backups the other day, and surprise of all surprises, the thing still runs and seems to have all of my data.
But I don’t have the patience to get all of my […]
Consumerist
08Dec05Got an e-mail the other day that Joel Johnson is getting back in the ‘blog with Gawker’s Consumerist. This makes me very happy.
I love to buy things, because things make me happy. I hate to buy things, because the entire process of shopping has been twisted to make shoppers beholden to companies. Companies both large […]
