Introducing My Music

A long time ago, I had this showcase site that hosted my music. Then I started this blog, and got into the habit of posting my new songs and news about my music chronologically on sknoblog instead. But my music is all over the place. There’s mini Radio Vince at the top of every page,…

Teaser

One of the reasons I recently upgraded sknoblog to WordPress 2.3, is that I intend to introduce a rather major « new feature » of sorts… Well, I’m working hard on it, which (partially) explains the relative silence here these days. Hopefully, I’ll be introducing it next week, if time permits. Stay tuned…

The More Things Change…

A couple of months back, I updated the design of sknoblog to what you see now. Then a few weeks back, my site was suspended by my ISP when a major spam attack caused my comments database table to grow too big, too fast. The table was simply destroyed by the ISP. Part of the…

V*agra and Penis Enlargers nearly killed my blog

If you’ve tried to access sknoblog in the last few days, you were either met with an error page, or with the blog peppered with lines of error messages… My ISP offers free Web hosting, but they have adopted rather radical measures recently. Basically, when a database table grows too big, too fast, it triggers…

How Do I Look?

I’ve been so tired of the bare-bones look of sknoblog for such a long time, so a couple of days ago, I decided to give it a facelift. I’d been putting it off in hopes of finding the time to do a comprehensive overhaul, upgrade from the old WordPress 1.5 to a 2.x version and…

Geeks are down

My ISP has suspended my Geeks site for obscure reasons and destroyed a MySQL table. I have asked for the site to be reactivated. I have to wait 24 hours to see if it will be restored to its previous condition. :-((( Votre page personnelle a été suspendue pour la/les raisons suivantes: Nous n’acceptons pas…

Out of order

The server that hosts Geeks In Love is apparently hosed. Free, my ISP, is working to fix it. So just to reassure you, I didn’t pull the plug on the Geeks.

Disaster Recovery

A few months back, I told you how a misbehaved piece of shareware randomly erased a few folders on one of my external hard disks, including the source files of all my little Flash programs. I had no backup of these files, so that was that. I still had the compiled versions (here on sknoblog…

Seeing Double

I decided I would split the info that was present in the sknoblog sidebar into two sidebars: one for stuff here on sknoblog, and one for stuff elsewhere on the Web. As usual, what should have been a fairly trivial bit of minor surgery took a nasty turn when I foolishly decided to make this…

Google Reader Shared Items on sknoblog

As an experiment, I’m implementing the Google Reader Shared Items « web clip » feature in my sknoblog sidebar. When you browse your news in GR, you can share an article by clicking on a « Share » button, and the article is then automatically added to a personal Shared Items page (I had already linked to this page…
