Finally

Posted by on 1/11/2010 No comments

Looks like Twitter Tools finally got fixed and the archived tweets have finally started posting… I think I’ll keep it at a Weekly archive for now, if you want the latest and greatest most updated tweets, check the side box or go to my live twitter stream, which for now is still on the main page of this site @ twobs.com or on my actual twitter profile.
Thanks for playing…

In General

Posted by on 2/20/2009 No comments

Okay, as I am going thru and updating categories/tagging on posts from the past, I am officially deleting the “General” category as of right this instant. There were 793 posts in the General category at the time of doing this. The general category exists because, prior to wordpress, I used blogger. When I switched from blogger to wordpress, all posts that were imported, were imported into the general category. Slowly, and finally, over time, I am making efforts to categorize these “general” posts.

IIWII Board, New Blog Template

Posted by on 2/13/2009 No comments

You might wonder why no one ever comments on this blog any more… That’s cause everyone that used to comment has signed up for and contributes daily to the IIWII Message Board. You are more than welcome to join us. In fact, I suggest it. You made it this far already, right?

In other news, as you can see, I’m trying out a new template here (called gears). It’s fine for now. I’ll play with it a little more over time or try a few others out. I still wish I had a overall design (or at least matching colors) to the blog, board, wiki, and gallery.

So Anyway…

Posted by on 2/11/2009 No comments

Been going back thru the old posts and adding tags and categorizing them. It’s a major pain, but it’s something that’s been needed to be done for quite some time now. I’m not exactly sure when I started categorizing (probably around the time when I switched from blogger to wordpress)… but I know I didn’t start tagging posts until very recently. However, I’ve finished with 2008 and 2007… so only about 1250+ posts to go… joy. I look forward to the day where no posts exist in that “General” category, which was the default for a long long time, and also is generally the category for most of the posts that were imported from blogger.

P.S. The Update of WordPress is much nicer. Quick Edit – Thank you.

Also… Of course.. WordPress telling me to update again!

but….

Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.7.1.zip
Unpacking the core update
Verifying the unpacked files
Installing the latest version
Upgrading database
WordPress upgraded successfully

Sweet!

Stupid Battery

Posted by on 7/2/2008 No comments


This was referred to as “Express” installation. Took the guy a half hour to do everything.

Here’s the backstory:
So…. kids…. where’s the worst spot your car ever decided to stall out and not turn back on?

so i go out to start my car this morning and nothing. i jump it with this portable jumping car starting thing.. and it works.. good…. i drive all the way into albany, get off the highway and right when two lanes becomes one by some lights…. it stalls out and does not click back on… awesome… Not.. so i jam on the hazards.. and oh yeah side note – ya know the part in your car that you pull to get your hood up, yeah, my little cousin snapped that off years ago.. so i gotta use plyers to open it up and get it up, okay so i finangle it up, and set the red on the red and the black on the metal… and im able to start it up… good… put it all away and get out of there…. i was able to do all this in probably less than a minute, and for all intents and purposes i got my ass out of there quick without too much of a hassle… what an annoyance.

guess i better go get a new battery today and stop ignoring that light flickering on and off for a while now.

I guess you aren’t going to fix yourself magically, eh? Don’t worry kids… sign up for the board instead!

So Good News

Posted by on 12/31/2007 1 comment

well sorta, I never really formatted the correct drive on my computer… its a long story, but basically its as if i never did anything…
But in other good news.. I have recovered my 180 gig drive that i thought i would never ever see again… there are years of photos, random mydocs, and other stuff on this drive I thought I lost forever… GIGGITTY GOO! (moving to external as we speak!)… dvd backups to follow.. gooo…. the old dell however, im sure that thing is toast.. it wont be revived anytime soon and wasnt really involved with any of the apparent crazyness with this machine.. I do one day want to reformat the main SCSI drive but… its a bios/raid issue I haven’t eve begun to dig into really.. plus i need to order some jumpers since i dont have any since losing them 2 years ago… so that pretty much is probably my problem.. out…
see yah next year.

Doing it…

Got the external harddrive plugged in… Moving pretty much all documents, music, any other files I think are important over, and eventually reformatting this SOB so that it will hopefully have less issues… Not sure how far into this I will get tonight.. I am drinking some tea right now.. so who knows…

so yeah..

So… Message Board?

Posted by on 11/9/2007 9 comments

Since I am being severly lazy with the release of 2BS 2.0 (or whatever the next redesign– redo– entire website from the original concept built 7 years ago)… … maybe I have enough active visitors to bring back the MESSAGE BOARD.. and we can have some real fun… away from this 2BS dominated bullshit…. anyone have any thoughts… (and realize… that if you say build it… it will be brought back to life).. thoughts?? or just another idea I will be too lazy to accomplish?

WTF (Google Content)

Can you confirm that the issue is gone? My webhost says everything should be all set now. Thanks

Known Issue

I’m aware of the issue I’m having and will hopefully have an answer from my webhost soon.

Other than that I am going away for the weekend… so you’re on your own.

Linkages

Posted by on 8/30/2007 No comments

I’m going to be in the process of building up my outbound links (as u see to the right upon scrolling)— so, if you have a site that you’d like to have me consider adding simply let me know what it is and I’ll possibly add it. I don’t really have a clue any more where all the cool sites are. I browse the same 3 sites everyday and don’t really know where to go past that, so like I said.. send me your favorite links.

I’ve killed the Message Board

Posted by on 1/18/2007 No comments

After being dormant forever except with the non stop spam attacks, I’ve decided to just go ahead and murder it in it’s cold dead sleep. I know there won’t be much crying from here to London regarding this recent change. There was no point in having one to begin with. If you’d like to discuss things, comment on the blog. Otherwise email me if you want to talk about something else. Stay tuned for more exciting changes soon as I am finally making myself learn a few new tactical web design tricks.

Woah!

I have been loosely blogging for a long time.
blog/2006
blog/2005
blog/2004
blog/2003
blog/2002
blog/2001

A little history.
My site originally started out as a senior thesis project in college. There are some old backups of it pre-project (I first went live in May 2000) but a majority of my work and ideas (of which many aren’t currently in place) took hold during that senior project. At the beginning I posted my progress and things that I was doing to achieve my goals. This I guess was my original blog which started in January 2001. That piece is not currently online. What is online I believe is the first posts I made after graduation when the project took on its own life post college and became a part of my life and not just school work. Currently I am still in the process of working out some ideas to take advantage of my brian power and produce something cool. So I guess as always, stay tuned.

It doesn’t appear as easy to just paste an image like before. I am going to figure out a good method to do that — This page is lacking pictures :(

WordPress Upgrade

Posted by on 6/15/2005 No comments

Nice, that was painless…

I just upgraded wordpress because the default install from my host was an old version..

So, no, I did not spend all morning on this design.. It is the new default. BUT… because of this upgrade (and having to have it be done) it should be easier to make changes to the design (someday).

Anyway, just wanted to drop a line and say things are copesetic.

This default design is however so much easier to read.

I am building my new site from the ground up. I’m pretty excited about that. I’ll be working on dumping the content that I’ve had through the years into the base. It will just take me a while.
