Okay, moved over to Wordpress on Dreamhost. Applied new theme. Let’s see what else we have to do to this thing to get it rolling again.

MT-Blacklist Bug (sorry, Scott!)

Thursday, September 9th, 2004

The MT-Blacklist plugin that saves me from spam flagged two of Scott’s comments because they were on older entries. I clicked the “de-spam” link in the notification email, checked the box, and.. it.. deleted them. It thinks that “un-marking as spam” means “Deleting”. honk honk bug. Sorry!

Administrivia: MT 3.1 and MT-Blacklist

Friday, September 3rd, 2004

I’ve turned off required registration for comments and installed MT-Blacklist. Let’s see how that affects the spam traffic. It really sucks not being able to get comments, so it’s worth a try.
The Internet is in danger of turning into CB Radio at this point, all Vietnamese bandit cabs and truckers with 100 watt footwarmer […]

The moving type writes, and having writ

Friday, July 30th, 2004

I just resurrected and upgraded this weblog, and in the process found that I hadn’t been getting comments emailed and that there were 4,700 of them, almost all spam. Yeargh. Now that I’m getting comments mailed again I’ll actually notice that happening.
Apologies to those on the feed list who got all of CGH at […]

I’ve been remiss in updating this thing, but that is going to change! Three or four posts on the way. Brace yourselves, my imaginary fans.

How to date me after I have been dating my cat for several years

Tuesday, October 21st, 2003

It’s time to move on.
Pouss has been probably the best relationship of my life, but we both want to see other people and it’s clear that we’re going to be better off as friends. Dating a younger person hasn’t bothered me, but she really has a very different life to lead than I do, and […]

Brilliant, ignored ideas

Thursday, July 31st, 2003

I am a fount of ideas. Although I have no practical experience in business, many of my best new concepts are in the area of new business development. Since my genius has been systematically ignored, I’m going to share some of the best with the Group Mind out there. I have faith that some of […]

Summertime Sound

Monday, July 7th, 2003

What’s on your summer playlist? When the sun gets hot and the days get long and slow, my musical taste gets a bit more conservative. The music that goes well with an iced tea in the backyard on a July Saturday is a certain subset of the usual rotation here. My list includes:

Brazilian jazz
60s Motown […]

Valley Days, Part I (Shoes for Sale)

Friday, June 27th, 2003

I spent a big chunk of the 1980s and 1990s in the San Fernando Valley. I didn’t have a car at the time, so I had to hump it over the hill on the RTD from West L.A. to North Hollywood..

The best thing about college for me was the radio station. Not just for the usual reasons people enjoy college radio (shared coolness, access to free stuff, the magic of radio itself), but because it was a place to hang. Ever since then I’ve needed a hangout.
