Yes, I am a geek
Friday 11 February 2005 @ 2:05 pm

Maybe some of you didn’t fully grasp the scope of my geekery (geekness? geekdom?), but trust me, I’m pretty darn geeky. I’ve been told a number of people have been traipsing through the latest photo album which chronicles my latest computer building project. Glad you enjoyed it. I probably should have taken even more pictures. I might still do that as there’s more work to be done. This time around I really do want to get back inside that computer and get things more tidied up.

The problem with putting a computer together is that once you get it up and running, drivers updated, operating system updated, security systems put back in place, etc., etc., you finally get some games reinstalled, and suddenly all interest in getting the little things finished seems to evaporate and you’re back using the computer satisfied that you’re done building it.

Formatting still odd in some cases
Monday 24 January 2005 @ 4:06 pm

Looking at the site through FireFox and Internet Explorer I’ve found that the formatting for the top right links and clock doesn’t look all that hot in IE. I banged away at it for about an hour and have decided that IE sucks, so everyone should just switch to firefox.

Seriously.

Get Firefox!

Another test
Thursday 20 January 2005 @ 3:29 pm

Let’s see, what’s been done so far.

  • Removed all the files from the test site. That broke things.
  • Attempted to consolidate files for Lyra’s page. That broke things.
  • Created a new database specifically for the golden compass site. That nearly broke things.
  • Right now this post will determine if the database is okay.

    Update: looks like it worked.

    Site updates
    Tuesday 18 January 2005 @ 5:34 pm

    As mentioned some weeks ago, I’ve been working on updating the website. Some things still don’t quite work, but should soon. I also have to move some of the links around so they point to the right place, but other than that, things look pretty much the way I want them to look.

    The old site, including all of the Lyra posts are available by clicking the lyra link in the top right corner. This is also currently the best way to get to the photo gallery.

    The gallery will be up on this main page soon though.

    Second post

    Seems like the server is being a little finicky about something, so more testing is necessary.

    First post
    Friday 7 January 2005 @ 5:32 pm

    So, here’s the first post. We’re running Wordpress 1.5 beta, a recent nightly build. Had a few problems but the magic of the Internet provided the solution. Couldn’t do many of the fixes I usually have to do if I was working through a hosting service. Of course, then again, I’d probably have to be satisfied with running stable releases instead of development builds. There were better templates out there using the 1.5 system, thus the reason for the bleeding edge.

    Eventually this will come off my testing host and move into the main site. Probably within a week or so (I hope).
