Did you miss me?!
I am very upset about this downtime of more than 24 hours - not about my blog being down, but MyChores site itself which people have come to trust and rely upon. It’s still not back yet. :( I have written about what went wrong on the MyChores Journal … can’t be [...]

I am now up with the Wordpress 2.5 and my lovely new theme from freewpthemes.net. I love it! Nice and calm and blue! I do like pale blue websites, although this is possibly a little bit cold, what do you think?
I think i have found a better OpenID plugin - i’d be grateful of some [...]

I have come a long way with the Wordpress 2.5 and i really like it! It’s a much cleaner layout for the admin area. I also found a wonderful template from freewpthemes.net so i like it way more than the current theme i have. I’d put it up tonight except i know if anything goes [...]

I hope it will encourage my LiveJournal readers to come to my blog rather than commenting on the syndicated feed on LiveJournal. I don’t get any notifications if comments are made there, so with any luck this will include a link, [...]

It’s a tool for the sidebar that collects flags when people visit from around the world. Hopefully it won’t slow down the page loading like that Flickr sidebar gadget did. You can get one here. Thanks again to Cheryl, on whose blog i found it. Cheryl has all the best [...]

Whew! I survived my first WordPress upgrade! I’m glad it was only a security fix and nothing serious - i needed an easy one for the first go. So i am now up on WordPress 2.2.2 with no problems. I even made good use of the Maintenance Mode plugin whilst i was upgrading and fixing [...]

In this exciting day and age of dispersing away from LiveJournal, i have come up with a plan.

I will post in this blog alone. At the moment i’m not sure whether i will post in communities.
Anyone is welcome to follow the RSS feed, syndicating it on other journals if they wish.
I can use Bloglines to [...]

I have made my closing post at LiveJournal. I have changed my profile page there to simply give a comment that i made in the news community earlier today:
LiveJournal, i loved you but i hate what you have become since Six Apart took over. I have just HAD ENOUGH. You’ve pushed me too far this [...]
