Nothing new here, but check out cvntrak.org
Nothing’s been going on here since I’ve been busy hacking up Central Valley NTrak, my model railroad site. It’s now a full WordPress site–all content is managed by WP. I learned a few things about Pages (note the capital “P”) … Continue reading
Is the Bee trying to sweep the Downing Street Memo under the rug?
(NB: If you are asked to login or register for the articles at the SacBee site, just go to BugMeNot.) Our local paper, the Sacramento Bee, may be doing its best to bury the Downing Street Memo (DSM) story by … Continue reading

Using curl to slurp a file via http
In this post, I mentioned having problems with live updating of the blacklist. (The “URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration†error.) In this comment, Matt Read shows how to use curl to fetch the file contents via http. … Continue reading
New parameter for list_tags() cleaned up Sharepoint theme
A bit of hacking on Felix’s tags plugin (version 0.3.0) has cleaned up the Sharepoint theme. I added a new parameter, “count_posts” (default true), to the list_tags() function. This controls the display of number of posts. The patch is here, … Continue reading
Tags added to Sharepoint, but they’re ugly
I’ve got tags working in “Sharepoint like”, but the tags list (left column) looks pretty ugly. The CSS for this theme doesn’t work well with the output of list_tags(), since the CSS sort of expects category listings to contain only … Continue reading
Tags support finished on J-blue
I finished hacking up Journalized-Blue to support the tags plugin. Since this is the only theme I have finished (wrt tags), I have made this the default theme for my blog. Replacing categories with tags for this theme turned out … Continue reading
Turning up the heat on Gee Dubya
The VoteToImpeach/ImpeachBush site has been around since before GW was elected. For some reason, they haven’t been getting much attention from the so-called “liberal media”. But since the Downing Street Memo came to light on 1 May 2005, things have … Continue reading

Added tags support to J-Blue theme
I hacked up Journalized-Blue‘s index.php to replace the category listing with Felix Wong’s tags plugin. I still need to grep the rest of this theme for categories and fix them as well. Then I’ll have to see which of the … Continue reading
Journalized-Blue theme installed
Another theme for people to try out. Journalized-Blue is the only 3-column theme I have installed on my blog. I was really trying to stick to 2-column layouts, but this theme is just too good to pass up. I’ll be … Continue reading
Added “Steam”, fixed “Sharepoint like” themes
I installed Steam, a theme by Samir M. Nassar, this morning. It didn’t include the theme switcher, so I bolted that on. I still want to add a calendar to this theme. Samir did a very thorough job on this, … Continue reading
