I didn't mention this yesterday but I am now using a new client for MT called Zempt to update this blog. This is a great program, JMac pointed this program out to me saying it is what he favors using on windows. I must agree. Nothing against w.bloggar but it just didn't support everything that...
One of the side effects of having a blog and having friends who have blogs, not to mention the whole being jobless thing, is that as I surf around the blogs of friends I find that they are up to far more interesting things then I am… Take Andy for example, I was reading the last few entries of...
As most of you have probably figured out by now, I suck at graphical interfaces, and as part of that, I can't create a good-looking template, I compensate for my lack of creative juices by making my sites and blog do as much as humanly possible. Unlike my friends like JMac and Andy who actually...
Well as anyone who views this blog entry can plainly see this site isn’t black and white anymore. JMac, has very kindly made up this new layout for Cap’s Log, Thank you Very Much JM, this is so much cooler now! For those of you that don’t know, that’s my head in the stocks. in the upper left corner.
Well I’ve decided that if this site is going to truly be a way for people to find out about my life I should follow the example set by my friends JMac and Dann Johnson and add a photo gallery to my site, so go check it out today. I’ve been busy since last night and so far I’ve uploaded 468 images...
Well, I'm changing blog systems to BLOG:CMS because Movable Type has gone commercial. I chose BLOG:CMS because it was based on Nucleus (which was open source (aka, non commercial) and has a nifty little importer feature where I can import all my blog entries from MovableType and thus.. not lose...
I am working hard on trying to upgrade this blog to a newer version of the Blog:CMS software, unfortunately, this is proving to be more difficult than I would have hoped, as all the skins seem to have been messed up royally. It seems that, perhaps to make the site run faster, changing a template...
Ok, now that I’m using the application/xhtml+xml mime type instead of text/html, using a real browser shows you where you have improperly formatted W3C incompliant code on your pages. So I’ve gone through each and every blog entry and fixed the errors in my old badly formatted XHTML. I’ve also...
Well I’ve upgraded my blog again. It was a bigger ordeal then usual because I had to actually do a fresh install and then reimport the data, but it was explained well and it took barely any time to accomplish it. Lots of nifty new features. I don’t think I care for the built-in gallery,...
Well when I changed my blog software and updated it Mike decided to switch to wordpress too, he’s been having even more fun with plugins then I have. He put his Battlefield 2 stats on his blog as well as a live look at who’s on his teamspeak.
I’ve updated Cap’s Log to the new WordPress 2.1, though this may only be temporary, I’m planning on combining it and several other blogs I manage into a WordPress MU installation once I’m sure that MU works. In other news, after listening to this week’s episode of MacBreak Weekly, I’ve started...
I’ve finally gotten around to moving my site onto nick.pro and off of capslog.info (which should now redirect to nick.pro). I’ve long wanted to focus on this more professional domain name, so I’m very much looking forward to improving this site as time goes on. Also in the process, I’ve finally...
I’ve blogged from my iPhone before so this isn’t exactly new, but this post was written using the new WordPress iPhone native app just released in the app store today. I like it! As an update, I still haven’t acquired a new iPhone 3G, but JMac seems to have finally joined the iPhone revolution...
I have successfully migrated the nick.pro site from the WordPress blog that it has been for ages, into Drupal. This is perhaps the most unusual migration of this blog (and I’ve moved this blog several times now), in that I don’t actually consider Drupal to be a better blogging software than...
Over a year ago, I migrated nick.pro from WordPress over to Drupal. I did this so that I could experiment with Drupal more, thinking I could make a more robust site if I did so. Unfortunately, while Drupal is a fantastic, flexible platform for web development, it is simply not efficient as a...
Even though my blog is self-hosted, I like many WordPress users who use wordpress.com stats from the Jetpack plugin. This year, the great people at WordPress.com decided to create some really great-looking Annual Reports for blogs using wordpress.com stats. In 2011 I wrote only 12 posts, which is...
If you attempted to visit my blog on Friday using either Firefox or Chrome, you most likely received a warning that the site was compromised and dangerous. While I’m still not sure how they got through, I can tell you that my blog was compromised. Code was injected into the site in every place...
I’ve migrated this site multiple times over the years. It has run on Movable Type, BlogCMS, Wordpress, Drupal, back to Wordpress, and most recently, Jekyll. There was a lot to like about Jekyll: The fact that the public website was completely static html eliminated the possibility of the site...
