Moving blogs and .htaccess

When I first set my blog up, years ago, I installed it to a subdirectory called “/blog” with the vague intention that the canonical “http://heliologue.com” URI could be a landing page pointing to whatever else I wanted to put on my server. Eventually, I learned that I could get to…

Leaving 9Rules

A month late, sure, but better late than never…

Some of you remember that I joined the 9Rules network a while ago. At the beginning of October, 9Rules members got an e-mail advertising a new membership agreement.

After talking it out in Clubhouse, we made participating either in the private member area…

A Modest Construct v2.0: Hooloovoo

Last week, I finally went live with a new design that I’ve been toying with for this blog. It sort of grew organically out of a few failures that I’d played with on and off for the last few months. After looking at a lot of available themes, I decided…

Wordpress 2.1.1

Wordpress

Also 2.0.9, for those of you who don’t want to upgrade (why? 2.1 so much faster…)

Ah, the first point release after a major revision is always so satisfying: many of the bugs that get vetted after the public release are squashed.

You can grab 2.1.1 here, and 2.0.9 at the release archive.

Wordpress 2.0.7

WordPress

Following quickly on the heels of v2.0.6 comes this bugfix release. My impression was that 2.0.6 was re-upped with a fix for the disastrous FeedBurner bug; it is listed, however, as one of the fixes in 2.0.7, so you’ll want to upgrade, regardless. Besides, there are several other important security…

Wordpress 2.0.6

Wordpress

The last incremental release of Wordpress before the next major revision has been released…. and then rereleased. Turns out that 2.0.6 broke some Feedburner feeds, and it has been fixed and reuploaded, though I’m not sure why it didn’t merit a 2.6.0.1 version, for clarity’s sake.

Normally, this is where I’d…

Look, ma! I’m on 9Rules!

I am no longer a member of 9Rules. Read more.

9Rules network

It wasn’t until a Mr. Ralph Dagza told me that I found out I had been selected for membership in 9Rules, a sort of “Best of the Web 2.0″ club for designers, writers, and bloggers (or all three in one). I entered some…

Software!

disks

After significant time and effort, I’ve finished revamping my Free Software page, which involved tweaking the layout, adding graphics wherever possible, and breaking it up into logical subpages in order to decrease page loads and improve usability.

Wander on over and take a look—you just might find a new piece of software…

Akismet slip?

Anyone else been getting a lot of trackback spam getting through Akismet’s filters the last couple of days?

It still catches a lot, but there’s been time where maybe a third of the spam (mostly ridiculous sexual stuff, and all of it trackbacks) gets through. Akismet is usually much more accurate…
