At around 11:25 this morning I was attempting to reinstall and setup the mt-rebuild script for my weblog. It’s useful because I run the MTOnThisDay plugin on this weblog (see right column on main page). In order for this plugin to work properly, I need to rebuild the main page once a day. For a…
Doctor Insanity
It’s that time of year again… Doctor visits. I take care of all of them while at my parents’ house in Vestal. On Monday I went to go see my general physician for a physical. This past day, Tuesday, I had a physical therapy appointment at 1:15, and then an eye exam at 3:15. Tuesday’s…
“Because Your Weblog Should Be Fun, Not Work”
I’ve been spending most of this week randomly tweaking things on my weblog. Along with installing about half-a-dozen plugins, I spent the entire night last night, and a good amount of this morning, trying to get LiveJournal sign in to work. Since everyone and their mom (or perhaps their sister) has LiveJournal, I thought it’d…
“Because Your Pool Should Be Fun, Not Work”
This was always the slogan of Baquacil, the chlorine-free pool care system my family has used in our pool since we got it over eleven years ago. Now their slogan is “Chlorine-Free, Care-Free.” Yeah right. I think my parents have put about five times as much time into maintaining our pool, then they ever swam…
New Look, More Protection
Starting yesterday afternoon, I completed a set of upgrades and installations to this weblog. I upgraded the templates and decided to stick with a white background (much easier to read), and installed a bunch of plug-ins to protect the weblog and comment posters from spam. I suppose I should give some credit: BetterSpamProtect MT-DSBL MTDisguiseCommentURL…
Summer Finale
I flew back to the States on Tuesday. It was quite uneventful. My last weekend in Vienna was great, thanks to Kerstin, Tom, Oliver, Stani, etc. Wednesday morning I drove up to Syracuse to check out my new apartment. It is great. The only problem was that it was hot as hell (89°F / 32°C…

23 Hours of Panic
I had just abut finished cleaning last night, when I noticed that a new beta version of MovableType is now available. I decided I would upgrade to it in a little while, until I saw that one of the “32 Favorite Features in Movable Type 3.2” is “Easiest Upgrade Ever.” There’s even a short flash…
Cleaning
I’ve been cleaning all day. Well, that’s an overstatement… You know me! But I’ve done quite a bit today, including washing and then hanging up a bunch of curtains, cleaning two windows, mopping about every floor surface in the apartment, taking out a lot of trash and cans, and cleaning the toilet. I still have…
