whew.
I just finished entering most of the movies I’ve seen in the last month into media diet — I still have a list of books to add as well. I’m really bad at keeping up with my log of reading and movie-watching, but I know I find it valuable when I can’t remember if [...]

moderation in all things
after a few days with the WP 1.2 beta (I’ll be installing the final version later), I can say that the new moderation system is a success. messages from Elizabeth, Gus/Jill, and me have gone through right away, and on the other hand, I just got sent my first spam to moderate, i.e., to [...]

farewell, puppy
Russ just took away the dog we found yesterday. I found myself sad to see them leave…that’s a good dog. but he’ll be living on four and a half acres out in the country, with two kids to play with.

last night we were driving home from the grocery store and C. noticed a dog running across the (4-lane) road and up onto the freeway onramp. so he stopped (in the middle of the street!) and led the dog to safety (in a pr0n shop parking lot).
said dog was exceptionally mellow, a little skinny; [...]

very cool
I’ve been playing around with Phase for a work project, and so far I’m darn happy. it’s more complicated than Whisper, which I also like, but in a good way, particularly for this project, where there will be sub-menus and blog sections and several authors.
not that it’s not beta-y. the documentation is scarily [...]

the extra ingredient is love
today at lunch, I had a salad of arugula, spinach and radishes from my own garden, dug up first thing this morning, with a little bit of gorgonzola cheese. I’m foolishly proud of myself.
maybe if I make peanut curry for dinner I’ll cook a little spinach to do with it, too.
I keep telling myself [...]

oh, that’s how it works
I realized last night that Shelley’s multi-blog hack is essentially a system for registering and switching between already-installed WP blogs. I have more thoughts about that, including maybe a path towards a grandiose hack for “real” multi-blog support, but that will have to wait. (I had a flash of inspiration last night in [...]

how to upgrade WP
this assumes you are already running a relatively stock install of WP 1.x, where x is less than 2.
# back up the folder where you have WP installed on your server and back up your database. there’s a script floating around that’s supposed to be a one-click solution for WP database backup, but I [...]

damnable apostrophes
fixing the escape in the feed item content was easy: open and save the item. (don’t know why, but it worked.)
the title, however, is a different story. at first I thought it was a problem with the character set on the page that it’s being pulled into. (fyi, my home page is [...]

hrm.
I installed Shelley’s WP hack for a multi-blog setup, but I’m not sure I understand what I just did. maybe I need to take a better look?
(tried a few things, and understand even less than I did before.)
