Yep, it’s a I-haven’t-posted-anything-new-cause-I’m-busy post. Work has been busier than usual and my Cicso class has required quite a bit of my attention. Hence my time for writing witty nonsense has been more limited than usual.
I’ll try to get something more interesting to read up shortly, but for now just know that I am . . . → Read More: No, I’m not dead yet.
Here’s a graph showing all the spam SEB has received since the start of September of 2009:
It's like a SPAMQUAKE!
We jumped from a low of 23 last October to a record high this month of 2,056. I just cleaned out another 154 from the spam queue and there’s already 3 new ones . . . → Read More: SEB is getting hammered with comment spam lately.
So here it is: The inaugural episode of The SEB Podcast.
We cover a number of topics starting with Podcasts and moving on to a question from Decrepit Old Fool that we talk about a lot, but never actually answer. That’s followed by tangents galore that are related to DOF’s question by only the thinest . . . → Read More: Episode 1 of The SEB Podcast is now online.
SEB’s migration is done and everything should be working properly though it may take some time for the IP address change to migrate it’s way through the net. Of course if you’re reading this then it’s made its way through your DNS servers.
There’s been a few WP modules that weren’t working quite right and the documentation said they needed PHP5 which I thought we had on this server, but apparently we don’t. When I inquired I learned that SEB is still on one of EngineHosting’s PHP4 clusters, but they’d be happy to move me to one of . . . → Read More: SEB will be going on a little walkabout this weekend.
I’ve had a lot of requests for a post on how I moved my ExpressionEngine blogs over to WordPress so here it, finally, is. And, no, it doesn’t really take 64 steps.
Most of the changes are to the back end of the sight, there’s a new built-in image editor and deleted posts and comments go into a trash bin before being deleted, so if you only ever see the front end you shouldn’t notice much difference.
Holy crap! I’ve been so busy with life that I totally forgot that I started this little experiment in egocentric rambling back on December 2nd, 2001. Not that I did a lot with it that month, but that’s when it officially started which means Stupid Evil Bastard is now, officially, 8 years old.
I’ve mentioned before that I’m currently using the Atahualpa theme for SEB because it’s the most configurable one I’ve found outside of Thesis. The latter of which costs money while the former does not, though they do accept donations. Athualpa has a few annoying quirks, but it is amazingly malleable so working with it is . . . → Read More: I’ll be messing around with SEB’s theme soon.
So we’ve been running WordPress for over a week now and I thought I’d take a moment to give my impressions. There is much to like about WordPress and much to dislike, but it’s certainly much better than it was the last time I checked it out over five years ago.
