And You Guys Get One More

This most recent round of blog entries have all been done on my Powerbook with the help of Cyberduck for FTPing, Ecto as the blog editor, and SubEthaEdit for the code.

New Theme

So I’ve been on an update binge, new theme up that I stole from tonus but I plan on modifying it as time goes on.

New Plugin

So Spam Karma has been a bit sluggish as of late so I decided to go with a different comment spam filtering system called Akismet. It comes bundled with the newer versions of WordPress so there’s nothing else to download/install but it requires an API key that comes from free registration. I’ll let it run […]

Post-Christmas Update

So I meant to post something right after Christmas to document holiday goodness but I’ve been lazily enjoying my time off. So instead of detailed posts about each event I’ll just have a quick update. Christmas in Jersey was great with the typical family stuff, minus the traditional movie, and hanging out with Jersey friends […]

Comments are back

Well I think I fixed the comment spam problem so I reenabled comments.

No More Comments

I got rid of them, actually just changed permissions on the comments file but yeah no more comments until I have time to implement something more elaborate than a simple filter. Considering I only have about 20 people who post on this site overall and 5 who do it consistently, I can’t put the time/effort […]

New Theme

I found a WordPress theme that I liked so enjoy the new look of Lobsterdog while I take my sweet time to update this to be a 3 column theme.

New Links

I added new links to the right detaiing how I’m wasting my time these days.

Audioscrobbler

Check out my Audioscrobbler page. There will be a permanent link for it once I do my redesign.

Update to WP 1.5.1

I updated to the current stable version of Wordpress but my old theme got trashed in the process. I’m too lazy to port it or to come up with something new right now so everyone is stuck with the default theme.

Another Update

I found something off the web that is supposed to let me get credit for referring people for things that they search for. I added the box to the bottom left corner but I’m not positive that I’ll get credit for the item so if anyone decides to try it, lemme know so I can […]

The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe

There was a void this holiday season because the Lord of the Rings trilogy was over but thankfully a new movie is coming out to pick up the slack. The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe was probably one of my favorite books growing up. Click here to view the trailer
Now we just need movie […]

Links Updated

I updated a couple of the links to my friends blogs. I should upgrade to the new version of WP but I did a test of that and it completely ruined my theme so I’m going to hold off on the upgrade until I get motivated enough to mess with php and css again.

Comments Disabled

Just to let everyone know they won’t be working for now becuase some fucktard decided to flood me with 189 of them overnight.
Fucking comments don’t want to be disabled, looks like part of my site has been hacked… way to start a fucking day.

Another Site Update

Just noticed today that my new theme wasn’t showing the timestamp for individual dates which I fixed.

Missing Post

Well I lost a post today because I accidentally deleted it while trying to delete a test comment I made to test if the comments were still working. If you can’t post any comments, try upgrading your browser. If it still doesn’t work after that you have to change the settings so that you’re showing […]

Music

Check it out, I got it to display the last 5 songs played by my computer at home. I’m too lazy to play around with my style sheet right now so it’ll continue to look like ass until I feel motivated to fix it.

The New Old Lobsterdog

I got sick of looking at the ugly colors from the last design and decided to use the old template with a couple of things different. Lemme know what you think.

November Searh Terms

Comment Spam Solution

So I googled around for a bit and found a couple of solutions. The only one that I saw that would not cause me to lose any real comments without babysitting each comment was posted here.

Comment Spammers

Fucking comment spammers have found the new version of Lobsterdog… I need to find a way to stop them.

Layout Change

I’ve finally started changing the layout anf fixed a couple of the outdated links so enjoy this work in progress.
Update - I wanted to do more work but Burnout 3 is calling me

Interface Update

Well since Jessie bitched to me about the default WordPress style, I feel obligated to say that I’ll change it soon. If you want to know when soon is, I would say it’s comparable to the time it takes the average American Studies major to graduate.

Under Construction

Yup I’ve started the migration from MT to WP so just ignore the dust for the next couple of days. I promise you that Lobsterdog will be back to it’s full splendor when I’m finished.

Links

Added a coupe more links to the left, enjoy.

Live Journal

I broke down and signed up for an account. Even though MT is a lot better, the majority of my friends do not know know how to set it up or have their own domain and webspace to setup MT. So yeah I have an LJ account as Lobsterdog to post comments in other peoples […]

New Link

I finally got Karens url and added it to the links section to the left.

New Page

I added a new page to the site that lists some of the software I use. Check it out by clicking the software link to the left.

Even More Comments Stuff

While I was browsing around looking for a solution to comment spam, I came across a pretty nice piece of code on the girlie matters that made the comment section to the right a hell of a lot better.

More Comment Stuff

And even more comment spam comes through forcing me to add a 60 second timer in between comment posts. Hopefully this will help some but if not I’m probably going to disable comments until I can think of a better system of stopping comment spam.

Comments Policy

Some of you might have noticed the recent influx in comment spammers on Lobsterdog and I decided now would be a good time to state my comments policy. I will not delete or censor any comments unless it’s comment spam. You can agree/disagree with me, rant about something completely off topic from the original post, […]

Update

Small update to the right column.

Update

Made a small update to the About Me page though I’m thinking about totally redesigning that portion of the site. Time will tell if I can work up the motivation to follow through.

Moveable Type Upgrade

Just a quick update of the Moveable Type engine to 2.661

Links Update

I added some more links to the left including Andy’s real site and The School of Ninja.

Lobsterdog Is Back

Well after the problems Total Choice had with server 26, they decided to move the server to a new data center and replace the server machine itself. Hopefully this will fix the majority of the problems I’ve been having with Total Choice. This also means I’ll start updating the site again now that it should […]

Total Choice Craps Out

Server 26 on Total Choice decided to crap out yesterday resulting in the loss of about 3 days worth of stuff. I only updated once in that time but I’m not sure what was going on in the forums and stuff. Anyway Happy Birthday to the Ninja Panda.

Entry #101

It was a dark and lonely night, in the summer of 03 when I was informed that AQ would no longer be requiring my services. After being laid off from the glorious job of Quality Assurance, I needed something new to occupy my time as I searched for a new job and waited for the […]

I Broke It

Well I was trying to find a way to intergrate the user database from the boards so that people could also use the photogallery but I broke both of them. The good news is that I had a backup of the database for the boards but the badnews is that the old skin is gone […]

Forums Update

I browsed around the Invision options and disabled the age cut-off thing.

Crackpot Liquors

Yup, that’s the name of an actual liquor store. In fact it’s right next to crackpot resturant. It’s amazing what sort of things you see when you go to northern Maryland to visit your friends. Well friend since it was officially established that I didn’t drive all the way up to Essex to see Brian […]

More Pictures

I added 2 more pictures and cleaned up the code to the site some. For those observant ones out there I know the picture album doesn’t match the rest of the site. I’ll change it eventually but until then, you’re gonna have to deal with the theme(s) I found off the web.

Pictures are up

I finally added a pictures section to the site.

Songs

Ok for some reason the font isn’t showing up as the right color but I’m too lazy to look into it so enjoy this partially completed feature.

Small Update

Just a minor tweak with the site interface and a small update to About Me

Jackie Rules

Well I treid fixing the spacing problem some people were having when they look at the site but I somehow completely destroyed the stylesheet and made the entire site look like ass. No biggie since I had made a backup of the old stylesheet. At least I thought I did, somehow even though I restored […]

Devils Won the Cup

The Devils won the Cup at home AND the forums are up. So stop reading this and post something.

Grand Opening

Welcome to the grand opening of Lobsterdog. The general interface is done for the main page but I still have to make everything else. Enough for now, time to watch the Devils beat the Ducks.
