About a month ago, I wanted to test using Amazon’s S3 service, for storage. I couldn’t think of any quick, easy projects to use it for, then it hit me, how about video/photos?
I decided to see how long it would take for me to make a video site, with comments, views, etc, on a small [...]

So, I am sitting here scratching my head again. I use Windows Live Writer (WLW) to post to my blog. I like it, it rocks. There is a plugin architecture, which is cool, and some other API’s for doing things.

OK so I lied. Everything wasn’t working after I set up my WordPress blog on IIS 6.0 on Windows 2003. Two things were broke: SMTP (email from the blog) and URL Rewrites/Permalinks.

Well, I have been on HostMySite for a few years now, and I just wasn’t liking it. I didn’t have control, and couldn’t do everything I wanted to. Last week I signed up with ServerBeach and I have my own dedicated server. I am running Windows 2003, IIS, SQL, MySQL, PHP, etc.

I backed up my WordPress instance, then disabled my plugins, then uploaded [...]

I use MSN Windows Live Messenger as my main IM client, I have most of the people I IM with on there, all my contacts in my mail.live account, it syncs with my T-Mobile Dash running Windows Mobile 6.0, etc. But, as you can see, I am using Wordpress instead of MSN Spaces (Windows Live [...]

Well, I bought a good digital camera yesterday. A Panasonic Lumix, 7.1 megapixel. Has the lithium ion battery, etc. I picked up a 2.0 GB SD card as well. Time to get my pictures on! I really wanted it so I could take tons of pictures going out to Oregon plus once I am out [...]

I set up WordPress a couple of years ago, moving my blog over from blogger.com. After a while, I started getting tremendous amounts of blog spam. For the longest time, I’d come home after work and delete 100’s of blog spam.
Finally, I decided to find a solution. Akismet.
Akismet is a WordPress plugin that pretty much [...]
