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. 🙂

    The last post I made to the Child Abuse blog was made using the w.bloggar tool. It’s a nice little tool but there’s one big drawback to using it with Blogger Pro. There’s no title field on new posts? What’s up with that? Maybe the new, currently being beta-tested, version of blogger will fix that…

    Saw this story over at Just Another Geek’s blog about knowing a few minutes ahead of time that someone’s going to get fired and having to slide into their office and disconnect them from the network while they’re being fired in another office. I’ve had to do that, and it sucks. I work in a…

    Had another meetup with a fellow blogger this evening. This time Angela and I ventured out to Easton for dinner, good conversation and a few laughs with Andy and his wife, Kristen. Angela has pictures!. (Pity the poor woman at the next table who wound up in the background of our pics and who’s likeness…

  • I uninstalled Windows Defender

    Not because it didn’t work, but because the latest update repeatedly failed to install, but constantly kept popping up a balloon from the Systray to ask me to download the same update that failed to install. Out of pure annoyance, I uninstalled the program. Some nights, that’s how I feel. Update: Thanks to the May…

  • Stylish

    Gee there’s a whole little Firefox extension that changes styles based on website, etc. that I didn’t even know about until I came across this post about adding attachment icons to Gmail on Download Squad. Why didn’t someone tell me about Stylish? Or did someone tell me and I just forgot? 🙂 Either way, I’m enjoying…
