Blogger No More (Officially)
Posted at 3:18 pm | Filed Under Uncategorized
As readers have already been informed, I switched over from Blogger to WordPress a few months ago, and although I still have the template to work on (trust me, it's coming), I have been able to straighten out most of the stuff behind the scenes. I have built* myself a series of hefty .htaccess documents [...]

Goodbye Blogger
Posted at 3:21 pm | Filed Under Uncategorized
Well, this was abrupt, even for me. This past week, as I have been catching up with a lot of the side-projects I have found myself involved in, I had made the determination that I would convert this blog from Blogger to Movable Type in July. Why July? This July will mark the fifth full [...]

What the fuck was that? I have no idea.
But let's pretend it never happened. Think happy thoughts...
Here is a video of Haley fetching a stick in Lake Tahoe (approximate temperature of dihydro-oxide: 45 degrees, measured on the Fahrenheit scale)...
(It is a good thing I taught her how to swim first.)

Status Issue

NOTE (9:30am, 5/23/2007): Blogger is down. (Again.) I have not been able to publish since 9:58am, reyonthehill time, yesterday. As a result, my most recent posts aren't showing up here. But they are available at my feed page. Please check that in the interim. I apologize (and Blogger should apologize, and Google should apologize, and [...]

Top 5 Web2.0 Applications
Posted at 10:36 am | Filed Under Uncategorized
You know you wanted my opinion on this matter.
This is actually quite difficult to do, figuring there are several hundred Web2.0 applications (most of them suck, by the way), and more and more coming every day (most of those will suck even more).
The principle guideline I will apply in choosing the top five will be [...]

Good News, I’ve Been Cleared
Posted at 11:49 am | Filed Under Uncategorized
When I recently upgraded to Blogger Beta (which was going to be mandatory sometime in the near future anyway), I was marked as a SPAM blog (I know, someone told on me) and was forced to key-in word verification in order to post. And what a harrowing few days that has been.
But, no more. I'm [...]

Blogger Beta
Posted at 12:21 pm | Filed Under Uncategorized
Alright, I have switched over to the new Blogger Beta this morning, which allows me one nice new feature: labels. Below each post, a label may be assigned to create a categorical inventory of the blog. I will try to start using them, but the label "bush sucks" may lose all relative meaning if I [...]

Comment Spam… Finally
Posted at 9:07 am | Filed Under Uncategorized
Is this a sign that I have made it...
Over the past few (I guess it is many) months, the people who bring Blogger technology have employed several new avenues to combat comment spam. I never really thought it was an issue, and I have made an effort to keep the comment process on this blog [...]

Blogger Cheese
Posted at 4:03 pm | Filed Under Uncategorized
(Editor's Note: I have been wanting to do this post for a while now...)
I know I probably shouldn't poke fun at the hand that feeds, but while trolling about the Blogger Help menus (if you're a Blogger user, you spend a lot of time using Blogger Help to try and figure out what is currently [...]

Blogger Failures Render Me Unavailable To Publish
Posted at 9:30 am | Filed Under Uncategorized
Blogger refuses to accept responsibility that their push-button publishing tool, named "Blogger," has persistently been out of service for more than two weeks now. As a result, it takes great pain and an enormous amount of scheming to publish one simple blog entry. Moving my blog to Wordpress or Six Apart is seemingly the [...]

Blogger’s Broken Pipe Dream
Posted at 8:52 pm | Filed Under Uncategorized
Have you ever received this error? I wasn't exactly sure what to think. And do I find comfort in knowing that the "broken pipe" error is number 001? (Click on image for full image.)
