Now using Hybrid and a child theme
I’ve been interested in switching to a theme framework and after looking at both Hybrid and Thematic, I’ve begun plugging into Hybrid with the child theme WP Full Site.
It’s a fun little exercise and Hybrid has lots of places to make changes just using a child theme. The WP Full Site function.php file has already [...]
And the winner is Xmarks
Earlier I had dropped Xmarks and installed Mozilla Weave. After a few weeks I’m back to Xmarks. Syncing the browser history is a very useful feature, but some really weird things have been going on with my Weave sync data lately.
My problems began when I installed Weave on my Ubuntu 9.10 work station. I could [...]
StartSSL and Nginx
I converted this blog from Apache2 to Nginx but forgot a step for SSL. With Apache2 to correctly install the SSL cert, you need to include in your config ca.pem and sub.class1.server.ca.pem. See here for more information.
I didn’t realize I had a problem until I pointed my iPhone at my SSL enabled web site.
With Nginx [...]
So far so good with Nginx
This blog is running on a VPS provided by Slicehost. It’s the 512MB package and I have no complaints. The network connectivity is pretty good too.
512MB is not what it used to be. When I run out of ram, mysql and Apache2 both go insane. My VPS becomes unusable and I end up hitting the [...]
Recycling an old printer
Stefan had replaced his old Epson Stylus Photo R300 printer a long time ago and dropped it off at my house. It’s a USB Epson inkjet printer that has been replaced a couple of times over. I don’t even know what the current model is, but this one was free so who cares?
Naturally, I hooked [...]
Wow, Skype looks different
I was catching up with a friend and she asked me if I still used Skype. When she and I worked at the same company, instant messaging and Skype were very popular.
I have not used Skype or IM for many months. With Skype I was getting weird spammy contact requests so I left it off. [...]
The iPad is announced! I just don’t don’t get it
With some fanfare the iPad was announced today. And if I am reading it right, it’s like an iPhone but big and fat.
I don’t get it.
It’s an iPhone without the phone. It does not multitask. So while you are using it as a ebook reader, you can’t keep any instant messenger sessions in the background. [...]
Who says YouTube is not cool?
I’m not fully awake but saw this via Reddit.
Very cool and excellent landing.
MSN Toolbar and Firefox
My current PC is a HP i7 workstation and I’ve tried to keep the software it came with in place. For example, it comes with a 15 month subscription to Norton Internet Security. Even though I have a valid license for Norton 360, I can now save that license for another PC.
The HP PC also [...]
Moving WordPress again
I have been running my blog on the URL wp.dembowski.net for years. If you are familiar with WordPress then that’s an OK URL to use but most people are more comfortable with a generic name.
I did not want to use www.dembowski.net (already used for a place holder) and did not want to put move to [...]
