The Random Quote is Back

So when I upgraded my WordPress theme a while ago, I forgot that I broke the random quote generator on the top of this blog. It’s fixed now. PS – it doensn’t work on the mobile edition.

Blog Should Be Faster Now

My blog has been slow as balls recently because my host is being a dickhead and the server load is always way too high when I check it. I noticed it’s only really slow with WordPress where it has to crunch a lot of php and pull shit from the database. So I installed a caching plugin and gzip all of the pages before they get sent out, so it should be much better. I hate waiting for shit to load and this was pissing me off. So if you came to this website and it took forever to load, sorry to waste your time. It should be better now. Enjoy

WordPress 3 Is Out; Blog Might Be Broken a Little

I just upgraded this blog to WordPress 3.0. I’m not here to review it. As expected, it’s pretty sweet. A lot of shit broke, so bear with me for a while while I figure out what’s messed up.

This Blog Needs Repetitive, Weekly Segments

I’m thinking about adding weekly segments to this blog. I’m going for a little consistency and routine. Here’s the lineup so far:

Wednesday: Android App of the week – I will highlight a (maybe) useful Android app you should download or try (I might actually rip apart popular ones). Sorry iPhone bitches, no love to you. The iPhone 4 is cool and shit, but AT&T blows too much. Plus Android’s better anyway.

Saturday’s song of the week: I post a YouTube video of whatever is on my mind at the time/is new/is good/is annoying me, etc.

I’ll start with two for now. Have ideas? Use my comments.

Random ramble you don’t have to read: I didn’t sit through that social media conference for journalists last summer in Minneapolis for nothing. (I’m not a journalist, I just wanted a free trip paid for by these folks). One session was all about what makes a blog good and what makes it bad. If you read any of this blog prior to a few months ago, I was doing everything wrong because I didn’t care. Few updates, no weekly repetitive content, few images or media. I’ve changed (kind of) Don’t get me wrong, I’m not looking for thousands of readers. If you read this, good for you, I try. If not, I really don’t care.
