Redesign

Phil — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 04:32:59 +0000

I stumbled across a new theme and it immediately grabbed me. I like it a lot more than the last one. I’ll probably continue to tweak it over the next few days but honestly I think it is pretty solid at this point. A good step up from my last one. These guys are just great. When I first installed WordPress I went looking for minimalist themes, and their JustSimple theme best fit my mood at the time. I went back again and found this newest one just today, and am I ever glad I did.

I’m no WordPress theming expert but I do know what I like, and I like an awful lot of stuff on their site. If you are in the market, check them out.

Back in action

Back up and running. I’m still pretty bummed out that I lost all of that work, but shit happens. I’ll just pick up where I left off and rewrite the sci-fi story from memory. I think I’ll be okay.

Big uh-oh

Yeah, so….uh, my computer just died. Typing this up on my company laptop. Worst part is, it’s the motherboard and my main drive has RAID on it. I have to replace the motherboard and so I’ll probably have to format the RAID. And all of my stories are on the RAID. Now, I won’t lose anything I’ve already produced, as I back up everything religiously, but I will most likely lose my latest story. Most of it, anyways. So that’ll set me back. Quite a bit, actually. That’s actually pretty depressing and upsetting.

Awesome.

Sci fi short story coming

Phil — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 06:46:56 +0000

I’m working on a science fiction short story, it’s about 50% done at this point. My plan is to have it done by the end of this upcoming weekend. We’ll see how it goes!

Relaunch!

Phil — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 08:48:57 +0000

Alright, all done. Things are looking pretty good.

We’ll see if I feel like writing in the near future. Who knows? Lately I’ve been feeling pretty lethargic when it comes to writing or even just reading.

Migrating!

Phil — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 02:03:50 +0000

UPDATE: Done! I think. Pretty much everything I can see is to my liking. I might tweak the design over the next few days, but since no one visits this thing anyways it won’t be an issue.

ORIGINAL: Migrating over my stories. I figured out a way to have the archives be accessible from a link on the left. Things left to do:

~~Migrate over all of my old posts~~
~~Figure out if it is feasible to display each story on the site itself instead of only downloads~~
~~Install various plugins that seem valuable~~
~~See if I can clean up the ‘categories’ page. Also see if I can display dates on posts on that page.~~
~~Get Creative Commons stuff set up~~
~~General design tweaking~~

Close enough

Good enough for the time being. Now to figure out a good way to display my writing in a concise way…

Alright, one down

Phil — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 20:48:03 +0000

Fixed the error, now on to modifying it to look the way I want it to look.

Let’s get this thing rollin’

Phil — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 20:33:19 +0000

Rollin’ right on down the road. For starters, let me fix this theme. Once it’s fixed I’ll start modifiying it to my liking.

Redesign

Phil — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 07:27:04 +0000

I think I’m going to migrate over to WordPress tomorrow. I’ve found a good minimalist theme that I think I can easily modify, and the whole process should be pretty straightforward. This way I’ll have a proven archive system and comments, something I’ve wanted to implement but have been too lazy to really do. There are tons of little bugs I’ve always wanted to fix on this site, but…it would be so much work. Also, I have no idea how well this thing would scale. Probably not well. Honestly, I don’t know why I would even bother with that particular bit, but better to be prepared I guess. I’m ever the eternal optimist, it seems.

Tomorrow I’ll start to migrate. Not sure how it’ll work, but maybe I’ll also be able to migrate my old posts for the sake of completeness.
