My mom generally regards me as having poor financial management. Whether that is true is in the eye of the beholder. Part of what I have done in getting where I am financially is to take advantage of opportunities to get things for free.

Saturday, October 31st, 2009Broken Link Reporting
Friday, October 30th, 2009In the prior incarnation of my site, I had a 404 handler that reported broken links to me so that I can set up an appropriate redirection to the intended content. Until today, that functionality was missing in WordPress. However, I found a plugin that brings that functionality to WordPress.
Hope
Thursday, October 29th, 2009Tonight, I watched The Astronaut Farmer. On the surface, the movie is about a man building a rocket and going to space. But with any depth beyond that surface, the movie is about hope and not giving up on it.
Now with CDN Goodness
Thursday, October 29th, 2009Portions of the site now come through the Coral CDN. That should ehlp the page load faster.

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009Deadlocks in Internet Explorer
Sunday, October 25th, 2009I have been encountering deadlocks in Internet Explorer according to the Windows 7 Resource Monitor. More than likely, this is related to some sort of extension that I added recently that is not written correctly. Anyhow, I will be receiving Windows 7 Ultimate soon and will be reinstalling so it probably isn’t worth diving too much into debugging what is going on. The Analyze Wait Chain functionality is nice though for determining why a program is not responding.
A third and hopefully last test
Sunday, October 25th, 2009This is a test using a different plugin that updates social network statuses through Ping.fm. This plugin seems like a keeper for now.
Second Test
Sunday, October 25th, 2009This is a second test of a Facebook notifier plugin. I decided I did not like this plugin.
Testing Status Updates
Sunday, October 25th, 2009I installed a plugin to push status updates to Twitter and Facebook and so forth. This is a test to see if it is configured correctly. I decided I did not like this plugin.
