What the heck is going on, you ask? Say hello to Tersus.

Bare bones? You got it. Tersus is an achingly simple WordPress theme without all the usual cruft.

Iraq Pullout in ’08?

I want our troops home as much as the next guy. If the Democ­rats have their way, they might be return­ing home sooner than any of us could have imag­ined. (Democ­rats Rally Behind a Pull­out From Iraq in ’08) Hon­estly though, is this really a smart thing to do? Might we con­sider that this will embolden the … Read the rest of this item

Daylight Savings

In case you missed it, this week­end your clock will be spring­ing for­ward an hour. DST will occur ear­lier that usual this year, due to a law passed by Con­gress called the Energy Pol­icy Act of 2005. From this point for­ward, DST will begin on the sec­ond Sun­day of March at 2:00am, and will end on … Read the rest of this item

Permalinks

Perma­links on the site have been updated, thanks to this great tuto­r­ial and this ISAPI Fil­ter from Dean Lee. The old link struc­tures: http://cdharrison.com/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ and http://cdharrison.com/index.php/%page%/ will still con­tinue to func­tion. (Amen!) But now, the index.php is no longer required in the URL. This has been one of the things that I have absolutely hated about … Read the rest of this item

W3C Relaunches HTML Activity

Wow… this was one of the geekier things I read today… but it’s impor­tant to those of that work on the web. There’s news from the W3C that work on HTML is going to be relaunched… Rec­og­niz­ing the impor­tance of an open forum for the devel­op­ment of the pre­dom­i­nant Web con­tent tech­nol­ogy, W3C today invites browser … Read the rest of this item

Organic Workspace

One of the run­ning jokes here at Pow­erServe, is that I can’t keep my desk the same way for more than a few weeks. But it’s true. For as long as I can remem­ber I’ve made it a point to change up my work­space at least once a month. I try to think of my work­space as being an organic, evolv­ing … Read the rest of this item

Trackback Spam

I love Akismet, Spam Karma 2 and Bad Behav­ior. In fact, I prob­a­bly wouldn’t allow com­ments at all if I didn’t have those plu­g­ins installed. Spam’s become a thing of the past, and I’ve been able to keep the dis­cus­sion fairly open as of late. Track­back spam is get­ting on my nerves, though. I’ve had sev­eral links made to … Read the rest of this item

Hosting Options

I’m cur­rently host­ing my site on a com­pany server. It’s been great so far, and I have lots of flex­i­bil­ity with what I can do with my site because of where it is sit­u­ated, but I’m get­ting to the point where I may have out­grown our servers. Traf­fic spikes are a major con­cern for many site own­ers these days… If … Read the rest of this item

Critical WordPress Update

I’ve been using Word­Press for a while now, and this is the first time I’ve heard of a crit­i­cal Word­Press exploit… I just upgraded to 2.1.2 and I rec­om­mend you read the arti­cles below and upgrade imme­di­ately! Long story short: If you down­loaded Word­Press 2.1.1 within the past 3–4 days, your files may include a secu­rity exploit that was added … Read the rest of this item

FreshBooks adds Basecamp Integration

I was just think­ing last night that it’s been a while since I last posted some­thing about Base­camp… This June will mark our sec­ond full year of using the online man­age­ment tool, and it’s incred­i­ble to think about indis­pen­si­ble it’s become in our day-to-day oper­a­tions. (That’s a topic for another day, though.) But I digress… Fresh­Books just announced that … Read the rest of this item
