Off to the Normandy countryside for a few days. Specifically, I’m going there, which is right about here.

Outage
sknoblog was off-line most of yesterday due to some problem with my Internet providers database server… Time to back up the sknoblog database!
Minor sknoblog improvements
I’ve made a number of small changes and additions to the sknoblog sidebar over the past few weeks. I thought I’d mention them here for you in case you hadn’t noticed. Moved the search field to the top of the sidebar. Added the « Recent Posts » category to try to compensate a little for the chronological…
mini Radio Vince
As an experiment, I’ve added a built-in, mini Radio Vince Flash application at the top of sknoblog. I’m not sure I like the idea: For one, I’m not so comfortable adding a Flash app to sknoblog, but at least, until you hit « play », it won’t use any CPU power, and even then, it shouldn’t be…
Downtime
Free.fr, my Internet provider, will be physically moving some hardware between 1 am and 8 am on tuesday, august 30th Paris time (GMT+2 I believe) and sknoblog (and my « showcase site« , and my brother’s site, and who cares about the others) will be down.

Sons of Sarookh
Just completed another contribution to a Sons of Sarookh piece (as always, initiated by Matt Love). I don’t know if and when this new song will make it in one form or another to the Sons of Sarookh page on SoundClick but in the meantime, since this is my third contribution to the Sons, I…
WordPress upgrade, update…
I did the upgrade! I see that a lot of little details are off in the layout so I’ll have to fix them. Later on, I may actually port the design to the new Theme architecture… The next step is to try to turn on commenting again to let you participate… I’ll keep you posted…
WordPress upgrade
I’ve been putting off upgrading sknoblog to the latest version of WordPress because it introduces a new system for the layout and appearance of the site, and I didn’t want to deal with the hassle. However, it also fixes bugs, improves the management features and reportedly has better spam protection. As you may recall, I…
