Obsolete My Ass
Seriously, what?
I wonder if it's because I haven't updated the plugin in ages. Note, however, that there has been no need to whatsoever.
Freaking A
I finally got mysql-server and mythtv to play together (and with me, and not sexually)! I wiped the old Debian install on Din and tried to install Knoppmyth, but it wouldn't install LILO properly. I never did like LILO, Grub has always handled booting better in my opinion. Easier to use, too. I was then gonna try MythDora, but a Fedora / Red Hat system has never appealed to me... I like Debian-based distros too much, which explains why I just reinstalled Debian and gave it another shot. Worked fine this time. I got the thing running mythfrontend on bootup and everything. Now I just need a TV card to test things with.
I have a slight problem where Debian dumps me to an "oh shit" shell (what's the real name for that thing?) because it can't find /dev/hda. Everything is on /dev/hde, and it knows this, yet one step during bootup is looking for /dev/hda. I can make symbolic links for it and it works fine and everything, but they never stay.. so I have to do this on every bootup. There must be some permanent solution.
The differences between Debian and Ubuntu are amazing. I find that even if I chose to install all the extra Debian things I still had to do some work to get the system useable. Ubuntu, despite being based on Debian, just works. Then again, so did SUSE for the most part.
I uploaded photos of the Delta II rocket launch to Facebook. They'll find their way here eventually, and when they do they'll be in their full 2592x1944 resolution, not the crap by crap res that Facebook scales them too. Not that it matters much, though.. The shots didn't really come out too well.
In other news, I added about eight hours of play time to my KOTOR save. I have become so dark sided that on my character sheet I don't have just have a red glow behind me, I have a red glow that sort of explodes into a fiery.. thing. Black smoke all over the bottom and these hot ember like particles floating up. It's neat. I wonder what it looks like when you become just as light sided.
My car died on me when I was on my way to pick up Dad from the Chevy dealership. Wouldn't start until after Brian came to get me and we had picked up Dad. Thankfully a nice couple helped me push it into the Speedway at Riverland and Van Dyke. It died in the left turn lane JUST before the Riverland driveway. Started up just fine for Dad on his first try and gave us no more problems. He's borrowing my car for the day tomorrow because apparently the van has this big electrical problem and will be at the dealership all day. I hope my car doesn't give us anymore shit.
I just had to make a change to the pipe link plugin.. The regular expression was using \w to catch alphanumeric characters. "/" is not alphanumeric. A quick search on Google revealed that \W will catch nonalphanumerics. Just copy and paste what I had.. change one set of \w's to \W's and all is good.
it’s a start
Just a little something I've had sitting in my themes folder for ages. I wanna get back into the whole HTML/CSS/PHP thing, just gotta find time for it. Designing themes for my site was enjoyable, and I like the start I have with this one, so I hope to be able to do something with it. Otherwise, it's just a nice, clean template.
Also, there's always the newtf layout I made for integration into NewTF's main page. I do like that I was so easily able to copy Jason's design. (I especially like that newtf.php can be used for ANYTHING on the site with no changes: E2 Plugin, Default layout and E2 Plugin, NewTF Style.
Should be fun, if I can get myself back into it.
Any LiveJournal/DeadJournal users wanna tell me how well the OpenID thing in the comments works? Thanks.
Links used to be a mid-gray color. Then a light blue. Now NewTF blue (#007). Needs some tweaking yet, just wanted links to be visible.
Yo
Check it out.
No, I did not make this theme... but I decided that I had not the time to do such a thing, and that my previous theme wasn't all that great. This one is really nice, so I'll be sticking with it for a while.
Okay…. what the hell?
So, in an effort to placate Jason's incessant whining for an RSS feed, I tried to find out what was wrong with my wp-rss2.php file. I changed a line or two, to see what it would do.. and, well... my entire site broke. WordPress was outputting GARBAGE. Random ASCII characters. I thought maybe upgrading WordPress .0.4 versions would help.
It says my database is out of date. Ok, I'll run the upgrade.php. Same problem.
Shit.
So I go to sleep after playing some Armored Core 3 till too late in the morning... After Math class, I get back to my room and go online. Suddenly, I see the WordPress Dashboard again! Huh?! My page is still not rendering right, so I check the topic I made on the support forums. As suggested by chradil, I start disabling plugins one by one... MTDewVirus' Recent Comments plugin is the culprit, though now my theme doesn't work. So I switched to the theme you see here, and the WP-Cut plugin starts causng the problem...
Did my plugins get corrupted or something? What's going on?
Oh well, just thought I'd let y'all know what's been going.. I doubt any of you even saw the temp page I put up last night, it was like one in the morning here... so about two for most of you. :-P
