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.

Witchhunt

Did Don Imus deserve to get fired? We all stay stupid things from time to time, and Imus has made more than his fair share. I won’t excuse him for the comments he made… but did it really deserve this much attention?  He apologized for his remarks. End of story, right? Would Jesse Jackson or … Read the rest of this item

Browse the Archives

I added an Archives page to the site last night. You can now easily view posts on cdharrison.com by Month or by Category/Subject. A few of the earlier posts you’ll find in the archives appeared as part of a column I had in the Augusta State University student newspaper, The Bell Ringer.

Bring Baseball Downtown

If approved, Augusta could be getting a new baseball stadium. Why am I even mentioning this here? The new stadium would only be a hop, skip and a jump from the downtown Augusta offices of PowerServe. I love the idea of bringing the Augusta GreenJackets downtown. I’d be more likely to attend a game The … Read the rest of this item

RSS Fair Use?

If you publish an RSS feed, does it give others the right to repurpose your content as they see fit? I have been noticing frequent trackbacks from a couple of sites when I’ve tagged articles with a keyword of “adsense”. On the surface, this isn’t a big deal. When I checked the sites out, however, … Read the rest of this item

Conduct

So the idea of a blogger code of conduct is being tossed around… My first thought after reading it was “You’re kidding me, right? This is the Internet and trolls aren’t going away anytime soon.” Greg Storey’s response to it is the best I’ve seen so far… You’re on my site and these are my … Read the rest of this item

Ending AdSense

Last month, I decided to place Google AdSense ads onto single entries on the site. 1.5 weeks later I’m ending the AdSense Experiment. In practice, AdSense is a good idea, but for a small site like this it’s unnecessary and adds nothing to my site. I learned a few things during the experiment: Ads aren’t … Read the rest of this item

Switch

The one thing that has really surprised since moving this site to it’s new home is just how well WordPress works in the environment it was intended for. I had been running the site on a Windows 2000 Server under IIS 5 with PHP4 installed. For the most part, the site was usable, but little … Read the rest of this item

Migration

I’m in the process of moving my site and a few others under my control to their new home, over at MediaTemple. I’m not sure how long it will take for the DNS changes to propagate. Your patience is appreciated.

Naked Day

Nope, you’re not seeing things: Today is April 5th and that means it’s NAKED DAY! The stylesheet has been disabled on this site in support of the 2nd Annual CSS Naked Day. (This is the first year that I’ve participated in the event. Last year had 763 official participants!) The idea behind NAKED DAY is … Read the rest of this item
