HFCS: effika’s blog

How many of you visit the site to read, versus just getting the content through your feed reader? I ask because I am thinking about a redesign (again) but I tend to get kind of lazy about it since I know the 7 of you are getting this in a feed reader.

First! A bit of advertising: If you enjoy well-written thoughts about things, you should go read my friend Sam’s blog over there in the sidebar. For those of you too lazy to get over there, here it is: http://diiq.blogspot.com/.
Second! This is my 800th blog post! Congrats to me for [...]

For any interested, I did indeed finish my sweater for National Knit a Sweater Month. Here’s a nice shot of it! Thanks, Jay, for being patient with me while taking photos that blustery cold day. (If it wasn’t for Ravelry I never would have joined Flickr, it being too cool to be [...]

Hello from the new host! Thanks for getting me all set up! :-) Thanks to my old host for giving me nearly 3 years of awesome service.
Hello also from the new version of Wordpress that I have just now upgraded to.
Maybe I’ll write a post before my fiscal year ends. Maybe not! [...]

I’m switching hosts soon (in the next week or so). You might find this site intermittently gone or wacked out as I switch hosts and get Wordpress situated. Things should go smoothly if I don’t get ahead of myself.

Things are crazy for a bit while I figure out what went wrong with my upgrade to the new Wordpress release.
Ok, so the new & improved database back-up plugin is the only thing that’s not working. Actually, the old one doesn’t work anymore either. Good thing I backed up before I upgraded!
Ok, so [...]

Wow, September went by fast.

I’m way too lazy to actually write up a post about the bachelorette party/wedding. Instead, I just put a bunch of pictures up here:
Bachelorette Party
Wedding
This was definitely the best wedding I’ve ever been to. Lots of food, fun, and friends make for a great time.
It seems like everybody’s getting married. The pub [...]

The only odd one is the recipe one. I don’t think I’ve ever written about Chilli’s dressings, let alone that particular avocado one. I bet they weren’t getting many results [...]

The upgrade is finished! Enjoy.
I’m about to apply the Wordpress 2.0.4 diff file made by Mark Jaquith. In order to do this cleanly code-wise things are going to look a little odd presentation-wise in the next few minutes.

KMorg posts are now uploaded!
Blosxom posts are now uploaded!
I’m slowly getting the old KMorg posts in the proper form to import. They were exported in Movable Type export format, but Wordpress doesn’t quite understand all of it. Wordpress also was totally not setting the publish/draft stuff right when I tried to import it [...]

I’m trying out Wordpress for a while. I really love Blosxom as a blogging engine, but I can’t find a suitable gamut of anti-spam tactics for it.

You should CLICK HERE for the new blog. I have updated it with a post about King Kong.

I am currently figuring out a way to transfer all [...]

Comments are disabled until I get this spam crap sorted out. I hate to do it, for I feel that a weblog isn’t a weblog witout comments, but it’s getting too annoying for me to handle right now. I’ve got too many things going on right now that are more important.

If you wish [...]

For now. Comments?
I will perhaps write up Friday night later, but this is what I’ve been doing instead of studying today. :-)

Since quackster is shutting down, all blogging will be done here for now. Always LJ to fall back on. Comment there and I’ll friend you. When I find a more permanent place again I’ll post it up there. Sorry for the short notice. :-(
Everything is good to go at effika.net now. [...]

I think this style works better. The other one (the tan-colored one) was never quite finished. Opinions?

Another new style for you guys. How’s it look? Suggestions/bugs? This will NOT look right if you’re using IE, but it will be readable. The background and title are a bit messed up, and I will try to jimmy it around some more later. Like to see the site how [...]

Yet another new design.

I am working to configure the new comments plugin, although for now everything should be working alright, even if it’s not very pretty. All the old writebacks should be transferred over (apparently, although they don’t appear to be so right now. But they’re still there, just replace the .comments with .writeback in the [...]

Finally got the writeback plugin configured, with help of Sean. Post away! Although it does need a /lot/ of tweaking… I’ll do it later. :-)
