Well, when the clock strikes midnight the New Year will be upon us, and it’s a particular one for me because 20 years ago this year I will have graduated high school. I really don’t have too many high school horror stories. I had my fair share of fun and disappointment in that prison, while [...]

Martin Weller has been making the parallel between movie stars and edubloggers, and while some folks have commented with the usual concerns about thinking through blogging in terms of stardom and fame—more of the self-effacing edtech pandering that drives me crazy—I love this exercise. My only issue is that Martin does himself a great disservice [...]
A day late and a dollar short, I know, but I’ve been so busy stocking up on meatball heroes, pizza, and bagels up here in New York that I haven’t had time to return promptly to the bava (which is one of my rules). But I’m not one to let an opportunity for an 80s [...]
RIAA: Three strikes and you’re without
Published by December 23rd, 2008 in copyright and piracy. 1 CommentI’ve been following the RIAA’s recent announcements that it will no longer be suing individuals, but rather working with Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to enforce a “three strikes your without” campaign. As David Kravets notes on here:
The RIAA has sued more than 30,000 individuals the past few years, and has settled most of the cases [...]
Integrating WPMu, BuddyPress, and bbPress
Published by December 22nd, 2008 in wordpress multi-user and wpmu. 56 CommentsThis is a tutorial documenting the steps I’ve been working through over the past week to integrate WPMu, BuddyPress, and bbPress. All of the applications versions I am currently using are either in beta, alpha, or taken from the trunk. So, needless to say, this tutorial will have to be updated regularly as the versions [...]
I have this movie poster hanging in my living room, it’s one of my all time favorite posters—though admittedly not such a great film. I particularly like the tag line as it relates to the artistic detail in the poster.
So, pray tell, after a closer examination of this movie poster, what might Lady Frankenstein’s “strange [...]
Looking for classic Christmas television? Kliph Nesteroff’s Classic Showbiz Television blog may be the best online filters for television on the web. He seems to tirelessly comb social video sites for archival classics that suggest an insane—almost encyclopedic knowledge—of the history of television. And he has been working overtime this holiday season, linking out to [...]
WPMu Theme Editor Easter Egg
Published by December 18th, 2008 in Uncategorized, wordpress multi-user and wpmu. 5 CommentsUpdate: Fail! I’m wrong yet again, damn it. Donncha replied to this post on my UMW Blogs here, basically saying he had nothing to do with it:
Not my doing. That’s just the normal WP easter egg. Dunno how that plugin managed to trigger it!
Tom Woodward discovered an Easter Egg in WPMu 2.6 which occurs [...]
I have upgraded the bava (and my several other sites running on this installation) to the trunk version of WordPress Multi-User 2.7 well before its natural time. I know the risks involved, but everything is neatly backed up and I have been feeling generally restless these days. Not to mention I really, really want to get [...]
The bava may be in and out over the next day or two as I upgrade my own WPMu version to the 2.7 trunk (pre-beta!) and integrate it with BuddyPress and bbPress (the last piece of which has consistently proven a major pain in the ass when it comes to cookies). Nonetheless, I am getting [...]
