Domain Blow Out Sale

I’ve got some decent domain names that I’m just sitting on when they could be yours. Make me an offer.

Something you like? send me an email at domains@jasoncrowther.com.

Ok, where are those tweets at?

Hmm, so still no tweets on blog posts. Turns out there’s a bunch of folks having the same problems with twitter-tools. Just noticed that my Dreamhost config for this domain was still saying php4 (even though calling php_info() from a script in this domain reports v5.2). I flipped that switch, but I doubt it will help. I guess I’ll stab around in the dark some more until someone makes a debugging breakthrough.

A Little FLW, anyone?

Just replaced the stock header photo from WordPress with something my personal photography collection. Enjoy the shapes in some lights from Frank Lloyd Wrights’ Falling Water house.

Its about time…

Time is something that I’m pretty short on these days. I’ve been meaning to do some work on the old blog for months it seems. I’m finally blowing the dust off the keyboard and trying to get stuff back up to snuff.

Step one was to get all my wordpress plugins in order. Geez, just about every plugin I use was out of date. Most of them went off without a hitch. A few needed some random voodoo of deactivating and reactivating. The last.fm widget needed me to add an include for jQuery.

Next was catching WordPress itself up. I was pleasantly surprised that the one click update worked as advertised. No muss, no fuss.

I was getting a little tired of my hacked up version of the original Kubrick theme. So, I’m gonna switch over to a slightly (ok, really slightly) hacked version of the new twentyten default theme. Truth be told, I rather like it right out of the box. I should probably comb through my iPhoto gallery and find my own photo to use in the header. Baby steps, I know; but progress, none-the-less.

I did recently acquire Build Your Own Wicked WordPress Themes. Hopefully, that’ll light a fire under me to do something a little more one-off.
