A number of people have contacted me about not being able to post comments–seems as though my spam filter was filtering out “…”, and since … is so common in posts and comments, they weren’t getting through. I think I’ve fixed it by getting rid of MT-Blacklist and installing MT-Spamlookup, so please, feel free to... Read More

Hey everybody. I’m tired. The day draws nigh, though. We just got our Bermuda tickets in the mail, next step–planning out shore excursions. Just wanted to let you know that I’ve put many new images in my photoblog recently, and if you haven’t been there, check it out. I scanned in, cleaned up and uploaded... Read More

Well, I have good news and I have bad news. Good news is the new look for my site is up and running. Bad news is, the film strip on the category and date pages aren’t working, the right menu doesn’t extend the whole way down and a few other issues need to be resolved.... Read More

FINALLY! I’ve been wanting so long to get a photoblog up and running, but haven’t been able to find the time. But thanks to Quixotic Pixels for a quick and easy template to at least get me functional. I’m going to put together my own, but I really wanted to at least start filling it... Read More

Just What The Chaplain Ordered
Well, if you happen to look down at the bottom of this post, you’ll notice the time at which I posted. It really is sick, isn’t it? No matter, I finished the job and that’s what matters. The job? The Chaplain Fisher blog, up and running. Jon Fisher is not only a good friend of... Read More

The last time I celebrated a milemarker post (100), PlasticMind was nothing more than junkmail with a brain in a jar. Things haven’t really changed much, except now instead of getting my insidious posts delivered to your inbox, you now have to visit plasticmind.com to find out why I sent you this babble in the...

So I’ve had a real time of trying to get my installation of Movable Type to work at Netfirms. Upon proper installation of MT, I ran the login file and got a mess of headers (which we talked about at the Movable Type support forums). After an email to Netfirms, they apologized and sent me...

B(j)trayal or just b(j)nevolence?
After a long night wrestling with IV Free board customization, I managed to finish (for the most part) the new look for the Bob Jones Grad Forums. I went with a “hawk/squirrel” theme as I’m told these two are common sights on the BJU campus, specifically with the former terrorizing the latter. I have to... Read More

Attention all Movable Typers… Thanks to Jesse from Simultaneity, I’ve found the must have program of the month! MTClient is a free download from XREware that lets you post to your blog without touching a browser icon. With built in spell check and the ability to save your posts to your hard drive, this is...

I have yet again accidentally closed out a window containing my blog and I’m extremely agitated. I worked hours putting together this article about democracy in Libya and Lebanon, but it seems as though it has vanished into the darkness of empty digits. No recycle bin to click on. No undo. Just a closed Firefox... Read More

I’ve noticed that much of my web traffic has come from Google and MSN bots crawling my site – they count for almost fifty percent of my traffic! So I found this interesting script that you can include on your site that will email you a notification everytime a googlebot crawls your site:

It seems as though my plug-in upgrade to MT 3.15 has not gone as smoothly as I would have liked. Its seems now that anytime I send out notifications of a new blog posting, I get a strange message: “Can’t use string (“ARRAY(0x898e4cc)”) as an ARRAY ref while “strict refs” in use at lib/MT/Mail.pm line...

Though I’m a dyed-in-the-wool Photoshop user, I’m honest enough to admit when another great paint program enters the arena. Behold, the Gimp. Offering most of the features of Photoshop (a near $500 program), this little beauty comes at a near fraction of the cost, namely free. That’s right–layered .PSD support, fully customizable pressure sensitive brushes,... Read More

I did a really stupid thing and started a massive overhaul of my blog the week before Christmas, so please forgive the mess you see when you visit. You could look at is this way: it’s a surprise each time you come. Sometimes the surprise is a pretty page, sometimes the surprise is a broken... Read More

I’ve had my sights set on Movable Type for quite some time and have been wanting to make the move from Blogger as soon as possible; little did I know it would cost me many sleepless nights.
