Did somebody say Plugins?
I’m adding the plugins for our site. Podcasting. Amazon. Oh, and yes, the stereotypical Digg/Del.ico.us/etc. links. Speaking of Amazon, I’m supposed to be getting a review copy of Ready 2 Rumble Revolution for the Wii.

Saturday
I will try another round of importing Saturday morning. Let’s see if I can get the links to work and the dates to translate. No one has responded to my help request, so I’m just going to take a whack at solving the mystery myself. Be patient, and have some fun.

Still no solution to the 1969 problem
No answers yet. Here’s hoping someone replies in the next day, or I’ll just have to import everything and live with the ones that are mis-dated.

1969?
So, of the five posts I tested out importing today, two of them are dated 1969. I’m trying to resolve this before importing in bulk. Keep those fingers crossed!

Work going on behind the scenes
I know, you’re not seeing much in the way of improvements yet. The reason is that I am going through our massive archives to try to fix up outdated links, missing pictures, etc. before I import them. Once I import everything, it will be harder to fix them. Broken links are going to happen, especially …

Tad Behind, Attorney at Law
Sorry, I have to redo everything I did Saturday. That shouldn’t take long. Sunday was mostly spent doing clean-up on old posts before the re-import, so that work is not lost. However, my promise of a Sunday podcast (that promise now lost in the ether) was obviously not to be. I would like to apologize …

Sigh. Guess what happened…
During my conversations about the domain problem, I mentioned to Powweb how a spammer had taken over my blog and I’d have to wipe out the MySQL database. Which I did on Saturday, and then I had configured this site and was doing testing all Sunday. I was getting ready to import my thousands of …

I don’t know what happened
Huh. Whole WordPress system reset. Weird. Okay. Now I have to do it all again. Not a big deal, but a few posts have been lost.

Movable Type is going bye-bye
Erik Burnham pointed out that WordPress is included with my Powweb hosting, so why don’t I just give up on Movable Type and switch to WordPress. And frankly…I don’t have a single good answer to that! All of my blogs are currently in template hell. I’m losing money because the templates with my banner ads …

They don’t make this easy
Sometimes I think I started using the wrong blogging software. I like Movable Type. I like that it’s hosted on my site, so I don’t have to have a whole ‘nother URL such as monitorduty.wordpress.com. However, it is user-UNfriendly to the extreme. Look what happened today. I just want to update from version 4.1x to …

So you’re NOT cheapskates, I guess!
My apologies, everyone. I’ve been wondering why NOBODY uses my Amazon links on this blog. Turns out that my plugin was set up to give the traffic to the owner of the plugin, Byrne Reese. Oh, I’m no dummy. I set it up right for my site…but then each particular blog has its own setting …

And Awayyyyy we go!
Here goes. I’m finally removing and reinstalling the blog software. Yeah, it took an extra day. My computer was overheating due to a massive accumulation of dust inside. Here’s hoping I’ve backed up everything correctly. Yeesh. It shouldn’t be this hard…or this scary. There should just be an “update to latest version” button that you …

Val Kilmer to run for NM Governor
More here… What disturbs me is that, if successful, he will be the third actor from Batman and Robin [NOT Batman Forever - Ye Ed] (a film, even the most unrefined of comic geeks believe to be the WORST Batman film ever) to land a governorship. Makes you think.

Johnny Saturn!
Coolness! The Johnny Saturn comic is currently top bidder on my Project Wonderful space. Johnny Saturn was a comic book I read this summer after meeting the creators at Wizard World Chicago. Short and sweet: It’s Batman taken to a more realistic extreme, i.e. anyone doing what Batman does would wear out his body pretty …

Reason #6,542 I’ll never live in California.
No, wait, I think I’ll bump this up to reason #1: Thousands of Migrating Tarantulas Migrating in such numbers that they once devoured a herd of cattle!!!!! I mean, if I heard of ONE cow being devoured by a horde of tarantulas, and I lived within 1000 miles of it, that would freak me out …

Warning: Blog updates
Our blog system is two years old. So are the plugins. So tonight I’m going to update the MT system and then reload the plugins as well as adding some new ones that we have needed. I have no clue what it will do to our templates and such. You may not notice any problems, …

Land of the Lost trailer
Obviously, they’re playing this for laughs. I’m not sure how I feel about that. See, when I was a kid, this was an AWESOME show. Yeah, even then I knew it was stop-motion animation, rubber costumes, and a blue screen raft with a falling boulder that is clearly a model, but I bought into it. …

Awesome mix of fantasy and crap!
I call it ‘fantacrap’! (Okay, totally stole this from “The Critic”, but no one remembers “The Critic”) Actually, it’s not that bad, and ol’ Tuck Pendleton is always reliable. I’ve enjoyed The Mummy series of films (as well as Deep Rising) on a technical level and most of the weak points were in the writing. …
