Fill in the the gap: iPropaganda, iProprietary, iPropofol, whatever.
Unlike most technologists I’m really not a device guy, I don’t have an iPhone (not because I don’t want one, but I just can’t afford it) and I don’t have three 22″ cinema displays. Why would I? I’m an International Web Worker of the World, I labor [...]
Pretty trippy, I just found the following video of Unwound (the 1990s noise band) playing at LA’s post-punk mecca Jabberjaw. And, I’m pretty sure I was at this show. Must have been 1994 or 1995, and seeing this brings on a wave of nostalgia for one of my favorite city’s in the world: Los Angeles. [...]
Deleting old MySQL tables across blogs and databases in WPMu
Published by January 25th, 2010 in UMW Blogs, wordpress multi-user and wpmu. 3 CommentsOK, so this will probably be the final installment of my “pimp your WPMu databases” series Part one was moving from WPMuDEV’s Multi-DB package to SharDB; part two dealt with optimizing tables across a number of databases in MySQL, and the final installation will share some SQL code, once again thanks to Gowtham, [...]

First off, we have a plugin install called WordPress MU Sitewide Tag Pages that basically republishes every public post [...]
Moving from Multi-DB to SharDB on WPMu
Published by January 24th, 2010 in UMW Blogs, WordPress, wordpress multi-user and wpmu. 4 CommentsIn the early morning hours yesterday we moved UMW Blogs from multi-db (which is a multi-database setup provided through WPMuDev Premium at a cost) to the ever so free SharDB multi-db setup, and I’m happy to say it worked. We’ve had some “unscheduled downtime” recently at UMW Blogs, and between the ever-growing traffic and a [...]
Digital Storytelling: the Course
Published by January 19th, 2010 in digital identity and digital storytelling. 3 CommentsOK, so I’ve been on paternity leave enjoying some quiet time with my ever growing family, and as a result the bava as well as my general annoying presence online has been limited as a result. But, despite that, I’ve been developing (while at the same time teaching) a course titled Digital Storytelling for the [...]
I’m not sure I would call Blade Runner one of my favorite movies, because I really don’t think of it in that way. In fact, I don’t really even think of it as a movie at all, it’s more like a magnificent building that you marvel over the conception and construction of and recognize it’s [...]
Been feeling homesick for NY these days, especially after putting Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind” on an infinite loop. I mean how sick must it be to write an anthem for the city you grew up in. You have to admit it, Jay-Z is the true “King of New York,” and in this case [...]
What I love about the beginning of the semester…
Published by January 13th, 2010 in Uncategorized. 7 CommentsAn inbox full of new UMW Blogs registrations. And while all the Canadian hippies wonder whether they should be rolling their own or not, this red-blooded American knows why we’ve built and installed our own pacemaker—cause we wanna live free or die!
Feel the rush!
