WordPress 2.7, Take 2

By barneyb on December 15, 2008

I'm pleased to say that Ozh has updated his Admin Menu plugin with a fix for the issue I blogged about a couple days ago.  So as of a few minutes ago all the blogs I host have been upgraded to 2.7.  Yay.

WordPress 2.7

By barneyb on December 13, 2008

Just finished upgrading my blog to WordPress 2.7.  Unfortunately I found what appears to be a bug in the truly excellent Ozh Admin Menu plugin.  It doesn't seem to handle extra menu items being added to the main menu correctly; it only partially renders the menu bar when such an option is active.  Not sure [...]

My New Blog

By barneyb on August 21, 2008

I just created another blog for myself.  Why have only one, when I could just as easily have two?  I've always tried to keep things generally technical on here, knowing that most of my readers are here for the technical content.  The new blog is a complete departure.
A few years ago, I started building an [...]

From My iPhone

From My iPhone

By barneyb on July 30, 2008

I finally got my iPhone 3G today, and am trying out the WordPress app. Typing kind of sucks, but I'll live. I've also attached a photo of my desk at the office, just to see how that works.

Licensing My Code

By barneyb on June 23, 2008

I occasionally get questions about licensing my code for inclusion in other projects.  I thought I'd make a blanket statement that all my code can be assumed under the Apache 2 license unless otherwise indicated.  For where it's not explicit, just drop me a line if you need formal licensing, and I'd be happy to [...]

Google Search Update

By barneyb on May 13, 2008

After converting to Google Search and giving Google a chance to get everything active, ads stared appearing on the results.  That's part of the deal for getting free search, so they were expected, but after seeing them, I realized the layout wasn't too hot.  With both my sidebar and the ads, the top couple search [...]

Google Site Search

By barneyb on May 12, 2008

After frustrations with the K2/WordPress search on my site, I've switched to Google custom search.  I'd never really used the built-in stuff, but when I was setting up my project pages, I did a bunch of searching, and it just didn't seem to work very smoothly.  In particular, you have to manually URL-escape your search [...]

New SSL Certificate

By barneyb on April 29, 2008

I installed a new "real" SSL certificate today, instead of the self-signed ones I've been using for the past few years.  It's the cheap model, but it's recognized by both IE and Firefox, which is an improvement.  Unfortunately, Eclipse doesn't recognize the CA, so you still get prompts there if you connect to my SVN.

I Sense AdSense

By barneyb on April 22, 2008

After the merciless hounding of Joshua, along with some of my own curiosity, I added AdSense ads to my blog this weekend.  My plan is to leave them there until the end of May, and then remove them.  I can't imagine there's even close to sufficient potential income to justify the ugly factor, but perhaps [...]

WordPress Upgrade

WordPress Upgrade

By barneyb on April 9, 2008

Just finished upgrading to WordPress 2.5, the latest K2 nightly, and a few other plugins. All went pretty smoothly, except my custom K2 style needed some tweaks to the CSS due to some selector changes in K2's markup. They've done some nice things with the admin UI, and the new Admin Drop Down [...]
