One thing I try to stay silent on is the competition. There’s no reason to tear into them over stuff. However, I can’t say that I’ve been happy with AOL’s refusal to take on sploggers (people who use software to steal entire blog/sites and post the content on their own web site, as if they […]
Microsoft has launched a new tool out called the Web Applications Installer. This is a refined program that does the same functionality as scripts like Fantastico. Basically, you chose what web software you want to install… and the app will configure your Windows Server to run it. So, if you want to install WordPress on […]
As I noted would happen previously, we are now moving from our temporary offices, to our new offices. This process will take the rest of the week, and probably a couple of days into next week. Unlike the last move however, I will be much more available. Things should go much less unhinged this week.
Long story short, a bug has surfaced in WordPress 2.6.2. It allows for the injection of the following code (or stuff similar to it): <p><span style=“padding: 1px 4px; position: absolute; z-index: 10000; cursor: pointer; left: 395px; top: 745px; color: #000000;”>save</span></p> The above string does not appear in HTML view. The only options I can come […]
As usual, I like to point out the events I’m attending. If you’re going to be at/around/near CTIA Wireless IT 2008. And, as noted on the PhoneNews.com Blog, I’ve burnt some midnight oil updating all the WordPress deployments to 2.6.2. So, if you’re at the show, interested in a quick chat, or even lunch at […]
Good news: I’ve (well, we’ve, but the buck does stop with me) decided to make a Media Center web site. I’m getting linked so much, when it comes to Media Center, it’s time to make a site for the enthusiasts. No, not the folks that need to know their ATSC from their QAM. This will […]
I will working mostly through the end of the week. After that, I will return on September 7. We did have some announcements at MechaWorks, those are on-hold until mid-September. This is not a vacation for me, so don’t go getting all scoffed when I decide to actually take one. This next week-and-a-half will be […]
Over at PhoneNews.com, we’ve been doing a test of Chitika advertising. Many have asked me how to advertise more, while bombarding readers less. A good chunk of PhoneNews.com readers find the site via a search engine. I won’t break down the numbers, but for any web site with good search engine optimization (SEO), that’s going […]
Odd question, I know. Let me tell you the story… A long time ago, a certain web site had hidden slander forums. This was a childish, clickish group of idiots that were given special treatment, and hidden message boards. The admins of the site refused to acknowledge that they existed. Reason being, members were clickishly-childishly […]
I just couldn’t end the day without saying goodbye to Tony Snow. I never met Tony myself, but I’ve watched his work since long before he became a household name. Writing a biography of the man’s work is something I shouldn’t even attempt. But, there is one key thing he did that changed my life; […]
