Here’s a tip for those new to upgrading WordPress if you don’t like, or trust, the automatic upgrade. It’s relatively quick, easy, and leaves you with minimal downtime while still retaining the ability to revert back.

The majority of my updates lately have been under this “News” category because I’ve been posting updates as I’m making progress on my redesign. I predominantly use Twitter for my regular journal/blog-like quick updates – but anything longer than that goes under the “Journal” category. What about everything else?

I have a couple of other categories that I use for writing up technical How-Tos and reviewing concerts, computer hardware/software, etc. Check the top navigation for a quick direct link to that page. Otherwise, browse each category via the Archvies page.

As I have time I will also be adding a “Links” page. Let me know if you’d like to be included or if I have an out of date link for you.

Thanks!

I figured that not everyone’s going to want to register for yet another account somewhere if they want to just post a single comment, so I allowed unregistered users to add comments. If the spam gets too much (which it shouldn’t with the captcha) I will disable that again.

Enjoy!

Update: Strange. WordPress isn’t displaying the code properly, so until I fix it, just view the page source

I’ve been wanting to pick up a tablet PC for a long while now. Half-geek, half-artist – how could I not want one? I’ve had both a PC & a tablet for well over a decade now, so why not merge them and simplify things? (more…)
