Thanks!

Thanks to a suggestion from Anita, I found a different referrer script that, while still not running locally, at least did include instructions on how to limit the number of characters it shows of a title. That should keep the table layout from getting screwy. I’ll tweak it as referrers start showing up and I get a better idea of how it’s going to look.

Also, while I’m thanking folks, thanks for the suggestions on what do do about using Movable Type and what-not. I have to admit, when I came to ReadyHosting, I was really looking for a quick switch to a host that provided reliable uptime and ASP/Access support. They’ve done that very well, I can’t complain too much. Because of the previous host’s downfall, I had to do that quickly and never really got a chance to think about the proper Perl modules or MySQL support. Heck, I didn’t even find out that I don’t have the ability to change file permissions on my own website until after I signed up. (I have to put in a support request!) When the time comes next year to renew, I’ll probably spend a bit more time looking at other options for hosting and blogging, but until then, we’ll get by. 🙂

    I spent a little more time knocked out from the Vicodin this past weekend than I planned to, but I started the process of getting the pictures loaded up on Flickr, so if you’re a visitor to my Flickr page, it’ll keep growing and growing throughout the week and probably into next week as well….

    I just listened to this interview Phil Gerbyshak gave to some students. It’s a good 45 minutes talking about working in IT, the current status of technology, and where it’s headed. He covered a whole bunch of stuff, in fact after listening to it, the first thing I thought was that I need a second…

  • A random thought

    Just something that occurred to me today when I had someone looking at my Flickr photos. I purposely resize all the photos I put up in my Flickr account, and also in the galleries to be smaller than the original, for a couple of reasons. One, so they load quicker, two, to keep the storage…

  • About last night

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Yes I got to spend most of my evening at work! On a Friday night, that rocks, doesn’t it? Turns out that late yesterday afternoon two different machines lost network connectivity suddenly. After a few checks of routine things, I eventually made my way to the wiring closet and noticed something wrong right away. In…
