I’ve decided that it’s time for me to move on to hobbies that don’t involve computers, namely rock climbing. Maybe I’ll post some more in the future…
I’ve halted all programming projects. Sorry. If you use any of the code that I’ve released, don’t expect any updates.
If you want to rock climb in the Berkeley area, [...]
If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you’ve probably noticed that this site has been experiencing a lot of downtime in the past few days. My server hosting provider has recently installed a new firewall, which has been randomly blocking incoming Internet access. While it appears that they have finally been able to take [...]
I’m officially back home.
Unfortunately, this also means I’m back to my super-slow-stuck-in-the-middle-of-nowhere Internet. To those who’ve recently commented on my blog, I’m sorry about the delay in moderating your comments — with only one phone line, I can’t use the Internet too often to check this site. My lack of a dedicated connection also means [...]
I’ve just finished some intensive tweaking of the Cold Ray Hosting servers. I was able to reduce the memory used by Apache, our web daemon, and MySQL, our database daemon. By reducing the memory used by each daemon, I was able to release memory to other active processes.
The immediate benefit of my tweaks is a [...]
I’ve been using this PHP script to generate the daily “Links” posts from my del.icio.us links. Although the script works, it has some annoying bugs. For example, if there are no links for the day, it’ll still make a post which I have to manually delete. Furthermore, it’s written in PHP, a language I haven’t [...]
As of this post, I have officially moved this blog to Wordpress.
I successfully imported all of my entries from MT (including comments and trackbacks), and I’ll be verifying all links this week. With a little bit of mod_rewrite magic, I was able to provide support for my MT Permalinks, so there shouldn’t be a sudden [...]
It seems that Mark Pilgrim has joined the Movable Type exodus. Mark’s latest post highlights a point I tried to make yesterday: closed-source software is evil.
I’ve installed a test installation of Wordpress at http://test.evilcoder.com/wordpress/
So far, Wordpress seems to fit my needs. Installation was a breeze. Wordpress has a very clean interface and comes with some nifty default plugins. I was able to import all my entries from Movable Type, but I don’t think TrackBacks got imported correctly.
I’ll post more about [...]
I never thought I’d have to say this, but…
I hate Movable Type. With the release of MT 3.0, Six Apart has unexpectedly announced new licensing. A free license is still available, but it limits individuals to one author and three blogs. A “Personal Edition” license is offered at the introductory price of $69.95, and it [...]
Over the course of the last week, I’ve made some changes to my blog. These changes include:
A new CSS stylesheet: As posted earlier, I’m currently using the TypePad style from Movable Style. Although some people have expressed their dislike of the color scheme, I think it’s nice. I also like the layout. I’ll continue [...]
