The gaming blog I've mentioned once or twice already is now ready for public consumption. The site is called "Agnostic Gamers" because we're not tied to any one console or platform. I've got a Nintendo DS Lite (and a DS somewhere) that I haven't played in months, a Wii I still mostly play Wii Sports [...]

I too got a few of the Cylon emails Jesper writes about, and I too quickly threw them in the trash.
Cylon is scum.

I'm looking for some fellow gamers who are interested in writing for a blog I've started with a pal. We don't have any massive plans right now - we're just looking for an outlet to write about games without cluttering up our personal blogs. But hey, I've started websites in the past without any real [...]

My blog is, today, five years old. In five years of blogging, I've posted at least one article every day.
Whoopty doo.

I've had a lot of random thoughts about gaming lately, and so I'm going to start a little "group blog" with some online gaming buddies of mine. I'll update this entry with more, but we've got the domain picked out and I'm working on the blog's design. Should be done late Sunday night.
We'll discuss all [...]

The WordPress plugin "Bad Behavior" seems to be malfunctioning today. I was blocked from my admin area and so were the admins of a few other WordPress blogs I know of.
Email to the Bad Behavior folks bounced, and the software is still at version 2.0.10 despite promises several months ago of upcoming 2.1 and 2.2 [...]

ShareThis 2.0 is now available.
I did a trial run, but the current version is a big step backwards in my book. It ignores several of the top-ranked items in the "optimizing website performance" video I watched a few days ago and it's far less customizable than 1.4 - simply unacceptable for an upgrade.
1.4 will keep [...]

Today, since Halloween always falls on October 31, my header is a Halloween image. No rotating images today… just the one. I can't do this for holidays like Thanksgiving. I can for Christmas, my birthday, etc.
Happy Halloween! I'm dressed as a geek. Go figure.
P.S. If I had a pumpkin to carve this year, [...]

This blog is now running WordPress 2.3. So far, everything seems to be running smoothly, even with the massive number of plugins I use.
My two plugins also seem to work.
There are still two hacks I still have to make to the code: one adjusts the kses properties and the other "fixes" the uploading of files, [...]

I've been using MarsEdit since shortly before version 2.0 was released. Though I think Daniel did a fantastic job updating the application, I've hit a few bumps in switching over from ecto.
Some of the things I'm not quite used to in MarsEdit (outside of the new keyboard shortcuts) include:

The post window stays up while something [...]

You know, I always find it interesting which posts get the most comments. Four of my posts have a fair amount of comments and average a comment roughly once every day or two. They are:

Sylvan Learning Center Rips off Teachers (144 comments, the later half of which has veered greatly from the original post's topic)
Ammunition [...]

Imagine I have a blog which has nested categories. Category "C" is a child of category "B," which is itself a child of category "A." I can draw this up as A > B > C > D.
I'd like to get the category ID for the original parent ("A" in this case), yet WordPress doesn't [...]

I'm working on an upload script for WordPress and MarsEdit (which I imagine will work pretty smoothly with ecto once I'm done). It's coming along pretty well, but since I can make assumptions about my blog(s) that I can't make about others, I don't know how functional it will be for everyone. I will release [...]

No, this isn't a turn of phrase or anything silly. Take it literally:
Do you put salt on your watermelon? Yes No View Results
I do. Mmm mmm good. I don't know why you'd want to eat it without salt.

Ecto 3 has been released in alpha form, and I'm giving it a try.
First, some good things: ecto 3 seems to care more about WordPress than ecto 2, including the addition of a "slug" and a "password" field. I like the new look and I have to believe I'll like the plugin architecture as we [...]
