I’m TK-421, and the Death Star was my idea.

Updated Look

Scott — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 14:30:18 +0000

The old Talian theme was beginning to get to me. Posts did not seem prominent enough, and to be honest, I never truly enjoyed the “brightness” of the theme. At this time, I’ve opted to go with the latest version of the Pixeled theme.

The new theme will allow for easier browsing of categories and an overall improved navigation. The new theme should also encourage me to clean up some of my post categories and rely more on the built-in tagging in WordPress.

Planned Blog Maintenance

Scott — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 18:47:15 +0000

A short outage may occur on Friday, November 21, 2009 between the hours of 9 and 10PM EST as my hoster does some maintenance on the server I’m on.

The ship is going down… (again)

Scott — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 23:09:11 +0000

Looks like my hoster has decided its time for another cage move. I suppose its a good thing they’re growing.

Heres the low down:

WHEN: Friday, August 29th 2008 | Start time: 11:30 PM EST – 3:30AM EST

WHY: All services will be affected at this time. We will be upgrading our physical presence by moving cages to allow for future expansion. This move will help us further to organize and improve our service to you as a customer.

On WordPress and staying up to date

Within the past day I’ve found that two blogs that I manage were hacked using known vulnerabilities in earlier versions of WordPress. Since many others have gone into detailed explanations, such as this, I won’t touch on that here.

What I will say is that is worthwhile to remain diligent when it comes to security upgrades/platform updates for blogging software. No one wants to help the spammers.

Another month down…

Another month gone by since my last post, and I still haven’t managed to write on this blog more than once in a blue moon. My iPhone still rocks, and my web host is still up. I won $80 in an Outwit the Smack over at jellyfish (who were incidentally recently acquired by Microsoft).

On a completely different topic, Leopard (Mac OSX 10.5) came out today, and I must say after a trip to the local Apple store, buying a Mac is becoming more and more appealing. With the recent annoucement that Apple is finally releasing a SDK for the iPhone, I might have to bite the bullet to get all the functionality I can see out of this thing (there better be Notes syncing coming at some point Steve!).

The ship is going down…

Looks like my hoster has decided that this weekend is a good time to move the servers into some new racks.

Heres the low down:

WHEN: 11:00 PM – 6:30 AM EDT Friday–Saturday September 28th 2007

WHAT: All services will be affected at this time. We will be upgrading our core network and migrate servers from one of our cages to a larger cage. This will help us further organize and improve our service to you as a customer.

I must say that all in all, if they can pull this off, more power to them (as long as I come back up without having to restore from a backup). Working for a company that provides hosting solutions itself, I know what a pain this can be.

Drupal down, WordPress Up

Scott — Sat, 11 Aug 2007 03:06:51 +0000

Drupal went down hard today. Really hard. I don’t know if it was my hosting company changing things, or just a fluke. In any case, on to WordPress. So far so good…
