arg. i really need to figure out my post image max width. overflowing images suck.

i should also look into changing the inline image uploader to something with basic editing and auto/multiple thumbnail capabilities.

the wordpress upgrades keep getting easier and easier. upgrading to wordpress 2.3 was a breeze, and the plugins manager even notifies you of newer plugin versions now. sweet.

luckily none of my plugins seem to be borked with the upgrade. i was actually able to activate the wordpress.com stats plugin that i’ve had installed for awhile but never ran a recent enough version of wordpress to pass the dependencies that plugin needed.

i’ve done zip with this site since i took it down for maintenance… oops. i’ve also noticed a serious slowdown in how well connected i am to the internet at this point in time. from cox internet outages, keeping my focus on work, chilling with 2 hyperactive dogs, working on geek nite projects, to most importantly enjoying some damn good home cooking and watching xtine kick some ass in elebits… i haven’t been keeping up with any of my rss feeds or favorite sites.

a big part of that is the lack of bonqlinks. sure i could have written it in javascript which updated itself with the hit count if i really wanted to be a dork about it… but eh, while i’ve been deep in code lately… i really didn’t feel like producing much code myself. i miss actually getting my hands dirty on kernel guts and recompiling kernels to get that last damn module to load or figure out how to get an experimental patch to patch clean.

i also miss playing around with web applications. i like wordpress, but i think i’m gonna have to go look at a php framework to do some sandbox work in. bleh, i guess i need to get back to figuring out how to cram tdo mini forms 7.x or even 8.x on a wordpress 2.2 install. i guess i could play around with the cpanel to backup stuff just in case the upgrade is wonky.

you’d really think it’d be easier to have a form post a new entry into a moderated queue in wordpress. yeah, no… not really all that easy. and why is there no actual age verification plugin out there for wordpress?
