Plugin Upgrades

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

Wow I have a lot of plugins that are out of date… I should really fix that.

Site rankings and mistaken gender

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

My Technorati ranking is an astonishing 14,926… I am actually very surprised by that good of a rank, especially considering that Alexa ranks me at 1,697,852.  I swore that they used to somewhat go hand in hand with rankings, but clearly that is no longer the case these days.  Hopefully in due time my Alexa ranking will even our with the other.

Besides all the ranking who ha, I thought I would present this nice little gem that came into the help desk this evening.  I removed some of the less important aspects of the message as not to bore the 3 people that read my site.

… and I just wanted to commend you and your colleagues for the promptness and friendliness of your service. This time I had Shelby D reply to my latest query in the usual very speedy and comprehensive fashion, so I thought I should drop Shelby a little ‘attaboy‘ (or ‘attagirl‘).

Now don’t get me wrong I love the compliment, but this is another prime example of why I dislike email support. Maybe I should change my signature to say “Mr. Shelby” that might help sort out  the confusion surrounding my name … then again knowing how most people don’t fully read responses to emails (myself included) it probably would not be all that effective.

Wordpress Theme Destruction

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

In my attempts to fix my theme, it seems that I have destroyed it.  As you can see the font sizes are way off, and really I am unsure why… seeing that I didn’t change any of the CSS on the page.  Guess this is more motivation to get the new theme out, though I am really not sure its ready for production yet since I just started creating it about 3 days ago, and really only spent about 15 minutes working on it.

Happy Turkey Day

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

It would be much better if I was not having to work all days surrounding and including it, but what can you do. I had a chance to watch Planet Terror today and I really liked it, I thought it was somewhat better that Death Proof but overall they were both good.  While watching Planet Terror I was very surprised to see that Stacey Ferguson was actually attractive in the movie.  Stacey Ferguson
Usually I don’t think that she looks all that good, but as you can see by this screen grab she actually looks alright. I plan on getting in some more movie watching this weekend while working on some side projects that I have lined up.  It was also brought to my attention that I cant have a WoW day anymore since Entensity.net already does so and I might add they do it much better than I will ever be able to do. So back to the drawing board for a Wednesday posting theme.

As promised ….

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

I never got around to updating my site. I really need to stick to that promise sometime. Maybe after I start night shift next week, then I will have some free time during the day to get some stuff done with out any distractions…. well then again I will prob. watch a copious amount of TV and who knows how many movies. Along with a redesign of the site I have been thinking of trying to really get into the daily posting that I was so used to ages ago. I was trying to think of things that I could post on certain days and here is what I came up with.

Monday - Weekend review. Not that many will be interested in this but I figured I should at least try to recap my weekends so I can have some of an idea of what I did years down the road.
Tuesday - Tech Tuesday, looking at posting some tech related article/how-to etc on every tuesday.
Wednesday - Whack off Wednesday. I am not going to start posting porn, but I think a tasteful photo every week wont hurt.
Thursday - Thirsty Thursday, coming from Lansing that was a tradition. I am going to try to post a drink mixture, drinking game, or some sort of review of a club/bar
Friday - Weekend Plan, then I can see on Monday if I really held to my plans.
Saturday - Nothing planned.
Sunday - Nothing planned.

Well there you have it, just one more thing that I wont stick to… but the idea is there at least.

Wordpress Upgrade and what nots

Saturday, November 10th, 2007

So I think that this weekend I am finally going to get my act together and upgrade my Wordpress install, along with putting out my newer design.  I am hoping that the new things I am putting in place will help boost my Pagerank and allow for better SEO.  I have noticed that a lot of people are coming to my site as of late all because of a post I made a while back about good old Jessica Biel.  So to keep up with that I figured I would post another to make everyone happy.
