What is Web 2.0? Or more directedly, what does it mean to you? Is it a clever marketing ploy to sell more advertising and services than the market can really sustain? Is is another way to excite people into trying out new things on the web that previously would have gone unnoticed? I kind of go with the Dave Winer perspective of ” it’s simply a better version than the previous version”. Are you visiting the conference?
Simple PHP Gallery I don’t think the simplicity, ease of use and the absolute beauty of this software was quite obvious to me till tonight. I needed to put up about two hundred pictures in relative anonymity into a simple gallery that would not be a hassle to install. Al I have to say is….WOW. The install took all of twenty seconds, the gallery was up in another three seconds and all I did was move the pictures into the right folder and view the gallery page. From one developer to another, kudos to Paul Griffin! This is how software should be.
NEVER, EVER trust the lftp “mirror” command to uphold the newest files switch!!
My server was hosed with last nights’ backup and we are back on the original server. Consequently we are missing a couple of posts and quite a few comments. The server will have to be re-imaged and I will have to restore everything from backup. Sorry for the inconvenience.
This blog (along with a couple of other services) will be migrated over to a new server over the end of this week and into next. Please bear with me while I put it into place to make sure that this blog is faster and not down as often. During the move, Wordpress will be upgraded to the bleeding edge (again) and I will move some of my hacks and modifications into the 1.6 branch of code.
Wordpress Fitted Caps: I am dreaming of Wordpress fitted caps for $10 plus shipping. Anyone in for a few? (I need at least 4 orders)
[EDIT] Now I wonder if Copyright prevents me from ordering those caps.
What in the world is 2o7.net and why is it slowing down my web browsing considerably for the past few weeks??
After doing some research, I find that 2o7.net is actually Omniture and many of the sites that are slow to load are running some kind of web analytics software called SiteCatalyst from Omniture. Now I find that the Omniture nameservers do not want to resolve 2o7.net or 207.net as long as the request comes from the x.x.x.x subnet (my ISPs class B) Grrrrrr.
Why would a web company looking to analyze visitors block a whole class B from their DNS servers??
UPDATE: IceRocket has confirmed that they DO NOT have popups on their “linking posts” tool and it looks like I am still having that problem. I will isolate the issue soon. IceRocket is not what is giving me headaches.
I had added an IceRocket “linking posts” search to this blog. I believe that it resulted in some unwanted popups (which I completely missed since I was using FF all this time). Needless to say, the Icerocket search is gone and I apologize for the cooties.
As a suggestion to IceRocket, you should not use my traffic to make money unless you make it extremely clear that you are going to do so and I expressly give you authority. Popups and popunders are pretty uncool anyways.
If popups still do popup, please let me know.
Spammers have started to exploit the Katrina tragedy with comment spams and link farms. That is pretty low.
