Hooray for Friday

June 8, 2007 · Posted in Life · 2 Comments 

I am very happy, VERY happy, that it is Friday! I am maxed out on my stress level. Work is driving me nuts and Anna is missing her sister who went to spend some time with her mother. Let me elaborate on that a bit. When Anna is lonely she will connive her way into sleeping in our bed. Sure she’s lonely and I understand and sympathize with that. Unfortunately she also kicks the crap out of whoever is beside her. She is a very mean sleeper! Wifey says it is all my fault that she is in there because I let her do it Saturday. There is some faulty logic in there, someone has a future in politics!

I posted a few more car pics up in the photoblog, which no one is visiting at the moment!

Have you ever been so behind on the things you need to do that you just give up and keep letting them slide? I feel like I have hit the proverbial wall on a lot of stuff and have waived the white flag.

The SAM-e is still working well, I’m not depressed, at least I don’t think so. Again, I am so stressed out that I might just be missing the signs.

I put the poll widget back up on the blog. This time I will try to keep the polls topical and update them a little more often!

God bless,
Jeff A

MyBlogLog

January 27, 2007 · Posted in Blog · 7 Comments 

I found the coolest thing while surfing blogs last night. I was reading Genuines blog when I saw something called MyBlogLog in his sidebar. It had pictures(or avatars) of other MyBlogLog members who had recently visited. What a cool idea, an easy way to get an idea of who is coming to your site. Of course it only helps if your visitors are members but it’s a start!

So, yeah if you look to the far right under the random shot you will see that I joined and put their widget up on my site. It seems like it could be a really good community builder plus it has already turned me on some cool blogs that I hadn’t seen before.

If your not a member you might look into it as it is pretty darn cool. If you are a member then why aren’t you showing up in the list? ;)

Up, up and away

I upgraded my WordPress to 2.1 last night and it went without a hitch. Well almost!

To their credit they did say that some plug ins may be broken. There was only one that I have noticed so far and unfortunately it was one of my biggies! I use the link block widget to control the links in my side bar as I don’t want all the links on the page or it is huge!

For some reason when the re-did WordPress they decided to change the way the blogroll links work. They took out the table link_categories and replaced it with link2cat. They then moved the category names to the categories table so they sit alongside the post categories now.

They say they made 2.1 faster but I’m guessing they didn’t make the links faster as it is now making an extra call to the database and confusing the heck out of plug-in makers in the process.

I did fix the LinkBlock plug-in so if you want it for your blog let me know and I will send you a copy of the updated plug-in. I will be tweaking it even further as time permits.
