- I’m currently studying the implications of a WordPress upgrade to version 2.31. I’ll likely do this sometime this week, or possibly the weekend following Thanksgiving. To this end, I may be bringing the system down for short periods for backups and whatnot between now and then. Preparation, you know. Usually, these will be no longer than 5 min each.
- I’ve installed a fresh copy of the “Maintenance Mode” plugin [1]. Tried it out this morning.. It seems to work fine.
- I’m installing a new dictation module in Panther, this morning. I’ve been getting a little tired of the limitations of the Microsoft supplied dictation software… and when it broke again last week, I decided to try something else. I may end up fixing the old system, but we’ll see. The dictation makes blogging a LOT easier.
- Anyone got a double-monitor vid card they want to get rid of? Doesn’t have to be a screamer. The issue is I’d like to go to four monitors, but I’ve run out of IRQ’s on the bus. I’d like to prove the concept before I drop the dime on a really good card set. Drop some feedback.
- This is the 10th week in a row we’ve averaged 250 or so hits per day at BitsBlog. Progress. One thing that pleases me about this is most are repeat viewers… people who are now visiting regularly…. that in my view is the highest compliment.
- The Swamp Stompers are looking for members, yet. Drop feedback.
- I’m advised that we’re having a little problem with the PDA feed… the code page is getting fouled somehow. (I’ve set this site up a long time ago to accommodate PDA’s with a smaller, tighter display, without graphics. It does this automatically.) I’ve noticed that it works better on my Palm E2’s browser than it does on my phone, so t may be a browser version issue. I’m looking at that this weekend.
- One of the reasons I’ve not bothers with a lot of YouTube stuff is that this theme doesn’t work well with the code. The layout is the best I”ve found but that comes at the cost of table support within the post body that is lacking. I’m playing with a newer version of MCE that supposedly extends HTML table support. Dunno if it’ll help, but we’ll see.
