If You’re Thinking of Upgrading WordPress
I’ve already received a few emails about this upgrade and keeping WordPress up to date. First off, the one I posted about last night is a release candidate. I wouldn’t recommend upgrading until the new version is actually released. Example, I’m not running it on this blog yet, only on a development blog. When you [...]
WordPress 2.5 Release Candidate
I am very crunched for time today, but tonight I’ll be installing the WordPress 2.5 release candidate on one of my development blogs and give a full report here–probably posted sometime very early Wednesday morning. From the looks of it, the “Write” section of the dashboard is going to be much improved, which is an [...]
Speech to Text Software
We’ve been contemplating buying the Dragon NaturallySpeaking software so that The Missus can “write” content for our new project while holding a baby. Â It would also be a lot easier for her to dictate everything–she’s an excellent speaker–as fast as she want to go. Â I can go back in later and edit if needed, but [...]
In This Year of Political Calls For Change
I decided to make a few changes in my career today. Well, I didn’t actually decide today. I just put the wheels in motion officially. So there’s a good chance that I’ll be available for anyone who needs BI, software development, or sys admin work done. Of course, only high rollers need apply. I hit [...]
Write It Down You Selfish Jerk!
After I posted my grandfather’s Thanksgiving thoughts last night, I spent the next few hours re-reading some other things that he wrote. I will definitely be posting more of it in the future. He was a great storyteller, and there are plenty of good stories in his memoirs. TCH brought up something in the comments [...]
Post Debate Coverage Part VI — Brownback
And Ron Paul is still winning the polls. Damn computers…something must be wrong with our software. Socially, I’d say Brownback is the truest conservative up there. What is controversial about his abortion issue? He is smart on this. He just doesn’t waffle on it. Whether you agree with him or not, he doesn’t waffle. Even [...]
Ron Paul’s Campaign Being Squashed by Big Media?
I was reading this article on ABC.com about Ron Paul’s success in the post debate polls and was pretty disgusted by the article in general. Then there are the absolutely ridiculous statements like this: Since online polls aren’t scientific — people choose to take them, and many people vote multiple times — doing well in [...]
Part II (of many) on SEO, Google, and Content–Technology Moves, Build For Change
First of all, I can’t take credit for all of these ideas. Lot’s of them have been borrowed from guys like Steve Pavlina who are basically saying the same thing I am. One of the more important points Steve makes is that your content should be timeless. What he means by this is that if [...]
I Called This One a Looooong Time Ago
Google entering the corporate software market. Actually this is a step toward what I’ve predicted will happen. Currently, Google’s model is to host all of the information on their site. Some companies will have an issue with this, which is reasonable. I’ve predicted Google’s ultimate objective will be to sell an appliance that runs inside the [...]
