Upgraded to WordPress 2.1…

Did it. Done it. And you shouldn’t have noticed anything, unless you happened to be gawking at thedeadone.net on Saturday 4pm. I had setup a duplicate of my website, did a test upgrade, so I knew exactly the problems I encountered, which were really only one, once I had gone through all the modifications required [...]

Check out my new website theme!

Created from scratch and all sparkling original web2.0 stuff. Yep. Been working on it slowly for a while now. Of course if your reading this post somewhere else than thedeadone.net, you won’t notice a difference. That’s why I’ve included lots of images in this post. (Now if your feed reader removes images well get a [...]

Organising my website/blog… need some feedback?

Since my foray into LiveJournal, I’ve started writing more for my website (which is more and more becoming like some sort of blog). However the way entries are organised on my webpage (I’m talking about thedeadone.net and not livejournal) means that most of my writing gets filed under the general category: “News, rants, opinions and [...]

Who reads this blog anyway?

For literally years, I’ve been trying to figure out what I want to do with my web space. At the moment it’s a dump for anything I’d like to keep online or be able to reference online such as my weird and wacky writings, my pleasant amateur art and various pieces of software or code [...]

LiveJournal and WordPress

So the online Irish gaming community has moved, without a word, to livejournal. They even have a “community” setup. But to be honest, I’ve already got my own homepage setup so I don’t particularly want to setup another blog just to join in. Well, luckly I found Live+Press, a little plugin for WordPress that allows [...]

Thank you Spam-Karma 2

Over the recent months I’ve been flooded with comment spam. I setup WordPress to put all comments in moderation to prevent defacing my site… that led to getting 50 or so emails a week (and sometimes a day) about comments awaiting moderation. Real comments, though far and few between, were being swamped to the point [...]

WordPress 2.0!

WordPress 2.0 has been released! Did anyone notice? I’ve upgrade my site(s) though it took longer than usual. For installing/upgrading on Redbrick, see the Redbrick wiki article “Installing WordPress on Redbrick”. I also had to debug and update the themes for all my sites. That was a pain. The interface in WP2.0 is all AJAX [...]

Speaking of upgrading software

I only just noticed that WordPress 1.5.2 has been released. Took, oh, about 30 minutes to upgrade this site, that site and an other site. Also, MediaWiki 1.4.12 was released last week. Took another 30 minutes to upgrade that site and that one of there. ’tis important to keep web software up to date otherwise [...]
