Whoops!

By Kirk M | Published March 19, 2008

Forgot to throw the switch on the Maintenance Mode plugin when I updated to the latest 2.5 trunk build. It also pays not to try to login before the "wp-includes" folder is uploaded. Makes for all sorts of worrisome PHP warnings. I don’t make these mistakes very often but when I do I go whole [...]

Defensio Died, Akismet’s Back and Other Fun

By Kirk M | Published February 10, 2008

It’s about time for another update on the happenings around here. So without further ado…
Defensio, the other anti-spam service and competitor to Akismet, apparently corrupted it’s own database table today which effectively rendered my admin useless and just about locked up my site while it was at it. I got my first clue this morning [...]

To Pooped Too Post

By Kirk M | Published November 16, 2007

I was in the middle of this horrendously long post about plugins, spam, Lightbox type thing-a-ma-jigs, and Super Cache’s when I made my 4,576th typo…and I quit. Ran out of steam and all that.
I shall now retire to my wife’s quilt shop and help her close up. I also wish to gaze upon the holiday [...]

Tags and Categories-Tagged Again! Part II

By Kirk M | Published November 14, 2007

Required reading: Tags and Categories-Tagged Again! Part I
Many thanks to Grandad. This absolutely horrendous, disjointed post is all his fault but he’ll probably blame it on K8.
And here we go….
I seem to be getting older these days. Not only am I getting older but it seems to be becoming a habit, a perpetual thing if [...]

So I thought I’d have time to blog?

By Kirk M | Published November 7, 2007

It was over a month ago when I called in sick for the last time at work. Much to my disgruntled self the injuries I sustained while in the Submarine Force during the ol’ Cold War finally took me out of work place for good. Okay! so more time for blogging yes? Well not quite.

What the Heck Have I Been Doing?

By Kirk M | Published November 5, 2007

Well…I’ll tell you.
I’ve been spending the last few days wrestling a new WordPress install into something that resembles a shopping cart. This shopping cart will eventually be attached to my lady’s business website (Long Meadow Farms Quilts) so folks can buy directly from her as well as going through one of the craft malls that [...]
