There been a lot of hoopla lately about the licensing changes in Movable Type 3.0, and there have been a lot of MT users switching to WordPress. The news finally made it onto Slashdot today, so the WP server is getting hammered with a lot of extra traffic. Youch!
Hurray for Open Source projects. At my work, we recently underwent a major system change behind the scenes (moved our line-of-business from a mainframe to an iSeries). When we did, our web server (IIS4 under Windows NT4) started experiencing a lot of problems. Of course, I assumed that it was a problem on the other end, and just dealt with restarting the web services several times a day while we tried to narrow the problem … Continue reading
My weight stayed pretty steady most of last week, with a final bit of up-and-down over the weekend. When all was said and done, I had only lost 0.1 lbs. Current weight: 261.9 lbs.
As mentioned previously, I came in late tonight (last night, technically) to work on our system conversion. It’s a good thing I showed up early, because they were running ahead of schedule on the data conversion, and they were ready for me to test the web applications around 11pm, rather than at 1am. Things went pretty smoothly, except for a problem with the fax functions. It had us scratching our heads, but I finally came … Continue reading
Oh, and speaking of WordPress, we have a new beta version out! WordPress 1.2 Beta is full of word pressing goodness, and it’s a part of this nutritious breakfast! Those of you who keep track of such things, might wonder why we’re going from version 1.0.2 to version 1.2. What happened to version 1.1? Well, at some point during development, we had accomplished all of the 1.1 goals and had already begun working on features … Continue reading
Yeah, yeah — I haven’t written much this week. We have a big huge system conversion going on at work, and the project has eaten the entire IT department. We’re changing our primary business platform from a mainframe to an iSeries. Since we have web applications which communicate with the mainframe, these must be modified to work with the new system. We also decided that this would be a good time to upgrade our web … Continue reading
I lost 0.6 pounds since last Monday. Current weight: 262.0 lbs.
Since I expect I’m getting a lot of new visitors here due to the recent launch of Ping-O-Matic, and the associated linkage thereof, I guess this would be a good time to ask for some help. For various reasons, too complicated to detail here at this time, I am relocating my family. Specifically, we are moving to Woodstock, Georgia (in the northwest Atlanta area). This is not just an “I’m thinking about relocating” kind of … Continue reading
Currently, Ping-O-Matic is at #5 on Blogdex, and at #22 on Popdex. And some of the linkage is coming from the top of the food chain: Jeffrey Zeldman, Haiko Hebig, paranoidfish, The Man in Blue, François Hodierne, Tantek Çelik, and many others. Update @ 9:42pm CDT: Up to #4 on Popdex, and at #9 in the Daypop Top 40.
BTW, in case you haven’t already heard: dotcanada sucks.
