On April 2, 1997, I was issued the cjcs.com domain. It was in the neighborhood of the millionth domain, depending on how you choose to reckon these things; more than likely it was a smidge over that. In the fifteen years that have followed, this little domain has seen a lot of data get posted and read. It seems a good time to reminisce about it a little. Continue reading
On my websites, I try to focus much more on content than the facade. Don’t get me wrong — I do think presentation is important. Generally speaking, though, once I have a satisfying theme set up I’m not apt to make any significant changes for a while. It seems that the time for change is nigh. Continue reading
I was getting very annoyed with Google+ whenever I’d link to an article on my blog. Instead of showing either the excerpt or the first “x” words of the article text, I’d see instead other administrative text from the source code. A little bit of coding fixed that up quickly and nicely. Continue reading
The Forum has been locked, i.e. made read-only. The reason: I’m planning on changing my default forum. Since there isn’t a quick-and-dirty way to move the data from the old forum to the new, I’m keeping the old one available so those interested can still read the posts. Continue reading
Brief downtime on July 16, 2011 of all cjcs.com WordPress sites due to a code bug in one of the WordPress routines. A quick patch was spackled on and everything seems to be back up again. Sorry for any inconvenience. Continue reading
For good or for ill, I’ve moved TIB over to Wordpress 3.0. What does this mean? For you guys, it pretty much just means that instead of typing “http://cjcs.com/tib” you’ll be typing “http://tib.cjcs.com”. Hopefully that will be the only significant inconvenience you’ll have. Continue reading
This past week has been largely about prepping for the great Wordpress 3.0 migration. So…programming, theme-building, and some interesting little hacks that have allowed me to level-up a bit with WP3. Continue reading
Confounded by a seeming lack of ability to accurately migrate users from one or more pre-3.0 WordPress (WP) blogs into a WordPress 3.0 (WP3) blog, I scribbled up some code to take care of the snarky part of the move. Continue reading
I hope that WordPress will provide some automation to migrate users from WordPress 2.9.x to WordPress 3.0. Since I don’t want to be caught with my proverbial pants down, I’ve been hacking together a little migration program. Continue reading

A few days ago I installed the current beta release for WordPress 3.0 (WP3), which is scheduled for general release in the next few weeks. I wanted to see what the “gotchas” might be as well as get a head start on getting my themes up to snuff. Here are some of my impressions with getting things up and running. Continue reading
I sit here contemplating how this website, T I B, is going to change in the coming months. As with all things, change is inevitable. Some choose to look on change with dread. Some choose to look on it as an opportunity. Continue reading
wordpress, tweetdeck and UTF-8 code substitutions :: the dustbin. WordPress is great, but it’s generating feed titles that mess up Tweetdeck. Here’s help.
Finally tracked down the site sluggishness to a plug-in I’ve used on the site for quite a while. YARPP (Yet Another Related Posts Plugin) pretty much managed to bring the site to it knees. Odd, that. Anyway, I installed a … Continue reading
Well…that took a while. The upgrade to version 2.7 of WordPress created a little bit of a mess for many of us serving RSS feeds. A blank line here, a wonky plug-in there…so many things to go wrong. For this … Continue reading
There comes a time when a site needs to be updated. That time had come for my blogs. Here’s a brief history as well as to why I went from WordPress to Joomla and then back again. Continue reading
