Lifestream: A great many anticipated movies in the cinema. But with everything that is going on, I cant stomach supporting the industry any longer.
Will be moving to Picasa permanently. In anticipation of that I removed the Coppermine Gallery folder and added a redirection to Picasa. I had thought of installing Gallery2, but the core problems would remain. I’d have a major script to upgrade every other week to patch the latest security vulnerability. And uploading images would be […]
I have been in contact with the development team at Microsoft and I am confident now that the most obvious pitfalls in the application will be made null and void shortly. Most notably, the escaping / encoding for non-ASCII characters in XHTML mode will be changed so that it only escapes special chars like ampersand […]
Cdpuvbhfzz! What do you know, Coppermine was the subject of a mass hacker attack. Again. It is described in more detail here. I suppose I could be faulted for not upgrading, but honestly, I was only like a week behind on upgrades and Coppermine isn’t the sort of script where one can expect upgrades. So […]
Following the Registerfly implosion and loss of ICANN accreditation some 850.000 domain names were relocated to GoDaddy. So far I haven’t done much about it. I have all my domains at GoDaddy nowadays, despite their dismal track record. I don’t trust them, but who can you trust in the domain business, especially seeing as you […]
I have to admit I was more than a little surprised to see Microsoft enter into the domain of weblog desktop clients last year. First with Windows Live Writer and later with Office (Word) 2007. Initially I was unimpressed, probably because I’m used to manual editing as opposed to WYSIWYG, but I soon came to see the […]
All sites are now running Wordpress 2.1 and commenting as well as pingback have been disabled.
All sites are now equipped with a consistent navigation “ribbon” at the top of each page to enable new as well as old visitors to find their way around regardless of where they start out.
Next up: Old, personal and […]
Moving content from Nucleus to Wordpress presented a number of problems. Some due to my own recklessness and lack of foresight, many due to the structural differences between the two content managers and some because of limitations or quirks in Wordpress (yes, really). I’m not exactly new to Wordpress, but moving such a diverse content […]
So here is the deal from now on. I got fed up with Nucleus and the lack of updates and consideration for new features. That is to say, the developers didn’t care a whit for my suggestions on cherry picking Wordpress features such as configurable permalinks and seemed more interested in producing a ’skinable’ admin […]
Recent events have forced me to seriously reconsider the current arrangement. This journal, the scripting and the commenting function in particular. In all likelihood I will actively migrate this Nucleus journal to Wordpress over the weekend. And deactivate commenting pending a full review. Rebutting the retards who insist on commenting here is just too much […]
As pretty much the last person in the world I signed up for a Google Mail (”Gmail”) account. I’m still not convinced of the brilliance of web mail. There are serious privacy concerns for instance. And web mail is at its best when constantly on the move and needing to read and write emails from […]
