  • WordPressilized

    After a bit of work (about 4 hours) I’ve got my old blog entries imported into a wordpress database. I did it all manually through phpmyadmin. I could have also written a custom importer plugin. But since it’s a one time thing, it would have been a bit silly. I’m sure I made some minor…

  • New wordpress blog

    So I did make it back from Costco. I know you were all worried about me… I recently created a new wordpress blog for Shao-ling and I. I plan to start transitioning more posts about our personal lives to that blog, and I’ll make this blog more about my geekier sides (gaming, programming, etc.), things…

  • More updates

    I updated a few more things on my website. I fixed a few more things on my about me page. And updated all of my world of warcraft characters! Including the couple of characters I have on a Taiwan server. Cassie, install east language support! I finally translated the name of the server I’m on…

  • secure

    Ok my blog entry is now password protected. And I’ve updated my “about me” page again. There is still so much missing from my website though. It’s really sad. I wish I had known pages garden was going under before it was too late for me to get everything back. Oh well. I’ll get most…

  • Grrr

    Ok this must be an old version of my blog. Because there was once a bug where anybody could post messages as me in the blog. I fixed that a long time ago, but some spam site just added some new entries. So I’ll have to fix that when I get off of work today.

  • Update DNS

    Aha! I had to update my DNS servers again. For some reason it was still set to custom server, instead of the servers used for pages hosted on godaddy’s website. Looks like it is working now without me having to manually override my hosts file. It only took about 1 minute for it to update…

  • New hosting service

    What a hassle that was! I’ve spent the past month trying to get my website up and running again. The problem was I my website was hosted on a site called pages garden. I’ve had very little problems with them for 3-4 years. But somebody finally mentioned to me that my website was down and…

  • More corrections

    Alright I’ve made the necessary corrections to my blog code. The problem is recently whenever I receive the timestamp entry from the mysql database it is now returned with punctuation. e.g. 2005-04-21 21:24:43 used to be 20050421212443. I don’t know what happened to make it return the timestamp differently. So I have strip the spaces,…

  • Fixed blog

    I just made some quick fixes to my blog. I realized that everybody’s email was coming up as noemail. I guess I made a mistake when I was going through the code and I left a slash in the form field. I also fixed A problem that caused the timestamp to stop working. The only…

  • rss feeds everywhere

    So here I was feeling all 1337 because I finally added an rss feed to my site. Turns out everybody else already had one. That is everybody except David (at least as far as I know). How sad. Oh well, at least I wrote everything here from scratch! BWAHAHAHA! What’s that? What do you mean…
