Six months ago today..

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

Just a brief interruption from normal programming to say thank you to my best friend who became my wife six months ago today. Thank you for six wonderful months! I am looking forward to 30-40 or more wonderful years!

Now back to tech stuff:

I took out the NNT tip and resized the subscription form, does the left column look a little better now? I hope it does, since it was reported that the tip was resizing the column and making it look bad. Now the only thing that might be resizing it is the webcam pic, which is small to begin with but I could probably make it a bit smaller if it’s still messing up the column.

I did a bit of tweaking with the Stats program, but I think there’s still something not working. The original script didn’t have support for tracking Windows XP, I added the code to be able to do that, but I’m still not getting any XP hits in my stats. Now, since I don’t have XP, I can’t actually verify this, so I need someone who is using XP to view the site to let me know that they are, and about when, so I can know for sure that it’s reading you as 2000 instead of XP, like I suspect it is.

It looks like my believe that THC was getting back online was a bit premature. Turns out the ftp login information they sent to their customers doesn’t actually work. Of course they sent that out Weds, and as of Friday morning no one’s been able to get a response or any more information. Unbelievable.

    Forget what I said in the last post, Yahoo has apparently decided that new groups get the ads at the top. Big old flashing, intrusive ads too, yeech! So I deleted that group and started one over at Topica. Same deal, you can subscribe over there in the left margin. I’ve set the list to…

    Has anybody else using Windows Live Writer to post to their blog noticed occasional slowdowns? Like when it’s autosaving a draft, and you’re typing, the program doesn’t keep up with you, and then fills in behind with what you had been typing once it recovers? For someone like me, who doesn’t type real well, it…

    Yeah, for whatever reason going back to work today after the three day weekend was more of a drag than usual. Not that anything too major went wrong, it was just one of those days where everything seemed to be just a little “off”. No matter how had I tried, I just couldn’t muster the…

    nf0 asks an interesting question in the forums. “What’s your favorite source for finding Windows Update news?”. Personally I don’t like the Windows Update function at all. I try to stay alert to online media sources, the Langa Letter, Lockergnome or even winguides.com for security updates. Let’s face it, most online sources love to tell…
