One week with the iPad

April 9, 2010

Please bear with me as I type this review directly on the iPad — on Pages to be copied into Word­Press — while reclin­ing on the sofa.  Although I have used it in a num­ber of other ways, my intent right now is to get a good feel for using it in this par­tic­u­lar real-life […]

The simplicity of WordPress upgrades

March 5, 2010

One of the com­plaints I have heard about not run­ning your own Word­Press instal­la­tion ver­sus going with a man­aged ser­vice like Blog­ger or Live­Jour­nal is that it is dif­fi­cult to main­tain.  Specif­i­cally, that it is dif­fi­cult to upgrade.  This is why, about six months ago, a worm went around and took down a bunch of […]

Snazzy-Archives, Filtered

November 28, 2009

Note that this post is a dupli­cate of the Snazzy-Archives, Fil­tered project page, here at Net­ninja, and copied into the blog.  It has been inserted here to make it part of the blog time­line, RSS, and what­not so that it gets noticed.  Com­ments are dis­abled on this post but enabled on the project page, so […]

Pardon our dust –or– Netninja on Thesis

November 22, 2009

As you can tell by the ubiq­ui­tous ‘90s-era non­trans­par­ent ani­mated shov­eler graphic at right, Netninja.com has been under con­struc­tion this week­end.  Every­thing looks fine now, but this is a warn­ing that there may still be some loose cov­er­plates hid­ing spark­ing wires.  You see — today, I installed the The­sis theme engine for Word­Press.  What does […]

& plugins">The psychology of WordPress upgrades & plugins

October 19, 2009

Word­Camp Port­land was last month.  Although Word­Press 2.8 has made upgrad­ing one-click easy, there was a lot of shared sen­ti­ment about upgrades and plu­g­ins.  These beliefs boil down into two groups and are sum­ma­rized with the fol­low­ing state­ments: “I don’t run Word­Press with any plu­g­ins what­so­ever because an upgrade to the core of Word­Press could […]

Tagging the 2001 archives

February 15, 2009

I have had a blog for a while — since 2001, to be exact.  It was not always Word­Press, but started out hosted on Live­Jour­nal.  In April of 2007, I migrated the posts (but not the com­ments, unfor­tu­nately) to the new sys­tem.  The migra­tion went as best as could be expected, but I later learned […]

DTV, Mice, and my new WordPress theme">Randomness: The Goth Bus, Bad Bologna, DTV, Mice, and my new WordPress theme

January 25, 2009

GOTH Bus.  The photo is a lit­tle blurry, but every time I see “60TH” on the bus mar­quee, I see it as “GOTH.” Fake Bologna.  Last night we had some soy bologna out as an hors d’oeuvre’s spread amongst cheeses, greek olives, apples, and crack­ers (actu­ally, diges­tive bis­cuits, if you want to get fancy.) The fake-bologna […]

Migrating from LiveJournal to WordPress

January 6, 2009

As many peo­ple no doubt are aware: Live­Jour­nal laid off over half their staff.  20 out of 28 peo­ple were let go.  Con­se­quently, I have read a lot of people’s LJ blog entries that are hys­ter­i­cal freak­outs.  I’m not sure it’s time for peo­ple to freak out yet, but it prob­a­bly is time to think […]

WordPress Problems

December 6, 2007

I thought I had acci­den­tally blocked myself from post­ing on my very own site, mainly because I had recently done some wmap­ping of a cor­po­rate site (hi, Phae­dra!) and thought I got my IP on a black­list because of it.  The Bad-Behavior plu­gin I use on this Word­Press instal­la­tion does a great job at blocking […]

First Post!

April 8, 2007

Welcome to the inau­gural post with the new blog setup! I have been mean­ing to redo netninja.com for about a year now.  Because of stuff I made avail­able there a long, long time ago and never got rid of (namely: BO and BO2K plu­g­ins), every web fil­ter declares it to be a mean, bad, nasty, evil […]
