Better Living Through the Internet

In Site, Weblogging on 18 April 2007

I heart the Internet. What did we ever do without it? I know I managed, but it’s hard to remember how. Even though it’s been around for years, and gets handier, if spammier, all the time, sometimes I just have to stop and think “Wow, I’m glad I have this.”

Now with WordPress!

In Site on 7 April 2005

Through A Glass Darkly is now powered by WordPress.

Livejournal crossposting better than ever.

In Site, Technology on 4 February 2004

The ljcrosspost plugin has read my mind.

I’m baaaack!

In Site on 21 July 2003

Well, finally the box this site is hosted on is back on the ‘net. Sorry for the absence this past week, but we had to move it and had problems getting the DSL installed at the new location. As the DNS slowly propogates, things should return to normal.

Blogtimes graph returns

In Site on 23 May 2003

Well, after an update of our Debian installation, the GD and libpng packages have decided to play nice, so Todd Larson’s Postgraph plugin is now working again, as you can see by the pretty little graph to your right.

Crash and Burn

In Site on 2 May 2003

My site was on the blink tonight due to us trying to figure out how suEXEC works. Sorry if anyone was trying to reach it. I think I’ve got at least that part figured out now. ;)

Broken Toy

In Site on 28 April 2003

Sadly, I had to take down the graph of posting times in the sidebar (At least, if you are viewing this page on the new server). We are unable to get the GD Perl modules to work on our new webhost, a Debian box. So I’ve given up on that particular toy.

In that vein, there […]

New Rewrite Rules

In Site on 6 April 2003

I played around with mod_rewrite rules some more and changed my site structure so that my blog uses blog.cgi and my links use links.cgi and both are in the main folder. This lets me rewrite them to just /blog/ and /links/, eliminating the “archives” portion I had in each URL before. Hope it doesn’t mess […]

My site makes me yawn

In Site on 14 March 2003

My web site’s design is so boring. I’m really not very artistic and I’m out of ideas. I don’t know what colors go together and I don’t know how to add images that look good, work with CSS, and aren’t overwhelming. Blah.
