   | It is always good to welcome yet another pro-rights activist to the blogosphere – I had noticed Alpheus commenting at some weblogs I frequent, and it would appear as though he just launched one of his own: The Power of Epsilon. Offhand, I would say that [...] As regular readers are probably already aware, I am going to be out of pocket for a few weeks in the coming month, and since internet access during that period will be spotty at best, I am working on queueing up prescheduled posts. Unfortunately, what I have at the moment… [...] After coming to a somewhat amusing (at least to me) revelation a few days ago, I will be fooling around with automatic translators for this webpage over the next few days, so things may be looking a little odd now and then, though hopefully not for too long. Anyone have… [...] You know you have been weblogging for a while when your broken-link-checking script can find up to 25 busted hyperlinks in a single day. “The internet is forever” and all that, but sometimes, some of it just vanishes. (Amusingly, a non-zero number of those vanished webpages consist of… [...] Somewhat related to the previous post, but in a sufficiently different vein as to warrant a separate page, ITS Tactical fails at RSS. Since I have touched on this topic before, I will only waste your time with this short recap: I am not going… [...] Want to know how to get a link to your webpage from this one – a link that will show up on over 3,000 individual posts and pages? Just ask. Rob from Personal Armament Podcast did just that, and note his link to the right. For any non-commercial… [...] Can anyone with a better grasp of the Apache code than I have explain to me why the following snippet from my .htaccess file is not doing what it should be doing?
[...] Found the fix. For some reason, the CSS file had “clear: both;” attached to the [blockquote] tag. That property disallows floating elements to either side of the object in question, which prevented the blockquotes from being next to the aligned/floating images. And now I know. [...] Not sure if I can claim fourth on any particular search string, but I can say that my review of 5.11 tactical pants is currently ranked 10th on Google (and eighth, if you get rid of the video results). I have… [...] Yes, this webpage just developed a case of bigger advertisement banners. Yes, they are probably here to stay, especially that their revenues should effectively pay for all of my hosting costs (and all of someone else’s too) and then some. Yes, you can get your own… [...] … And it has been kicking my ass over the past few weeks. How do I get a blockquote to not move entirely beneath an aligned image? For example, if I write a post wherein a blockquote starts before the author icon ends, the blockquote drops entirely beneath… [...] Since Weer’d has already announced it, I thought I might follow up here as well – Weer’d World is currently live and functional, and once Weer’d figures out how to drive it, there should be some more content than just the “Hello world” opening message. … [...] If you leave a comment here, and it does not show up within 24 hours, please drop me an email at “linoge (at) wallsofthecity (dot) net” and let me know. It would appear as though some of my anti-spam guardians have been getting a little over-zealous in performing their duties,… [...] I just did some pretty significant dorking around with plugins and settings and the like in an attempt to help this page load a little faster – please let me know if you encounter any problems. [...] In accordance with his obvious wishes to no longer associate with those who do not believe that now is the time to drown our country in pointless, frivolous, and childish bloodshed and violence, this weblog will no longer link to Anthony G. Martin’s weblog, “The Liberty Sphere”. After all, I… [...] Not that it will make a difference to… really… anyone, but this webpage’s Twitter feed (@wotc_linoge) is now syndicated locally, through this webpage itself, by means of the WordTwit plugin. The downside is that TwitterFeed (the previous syndication system I used) included post excerpts,… [...] I have been up to a few random things around the webpage recently, and I thought I would take a moment to document them all (ater all, this is my webpage, so I can do those kinds of things). First, I would again remind my readers that my new… [...] Just a reminder, but the various RSS feed options at “walls of the city” are currently located at http://www.wallsofthecity.net/feed and http://www.wallsofthecity.net/feed/atom. Please update your reading software / bookmarks / whatever appropriately – yes, the old addresses do still work, and should continue working, but I make… [...] … or, at least, internal-404-free. Thanks to the efforts of the Broken Link Checker for WordPress, I was able to go through the site and isolate any HTML-related 404 errors. Image-related errors may still be in existance – I am simply too lazy to correct those –… [...] So, for those of you who know more about WordPress and its internals than I do, I have two quick questions: 1. How does one edit the text that gets sent along as the post excerpt for pingbacks? Because, right now, it is pretty much pulling gibberish. 2.… [...] If you ever wanted to know what the colors on your webpage are saying to your readers, here is a quick and easy guide, with some other helpful information here and here. Guess I should take notes, considering that I will be rebuilding this… [...] Note to self: mod_rewrite and mod_alias are nowhere near as easy as they look. Also, order matters. [...] As you can see, after a few fits-and-starts, “walls of the city” appears to be fully functional again. Yes, the theme is going to change over the coming days/weeks, but it will settle back down again. Unfortunately, those RewriteRules I thought would fix everything, in fact, did not, and… [...] So after dorking around with WordPress over the past 48 hours, the decision has been made. [...] So after futzing around with the WordPress incarnation of “walls of the city”, I have to admit that I am seriously cosidering abandoning MovableType alltogether. [...] A WordPress version of “walls of the city” is currently hot-and-fresh over at its new home. Feel free to poke, prod, and try to break it, but be aware that anything you do there will be deleted if I decide to convert to WordPress… or even… [...] It would appear as though the upgrade to Movable Type 5.0 went off more-or-less successfully… with a few problems that I need to discuss with (and apologize for to) my co-authors. [...] This webpage will be upgrading to Movable Type 5.0 over the course of the next few hours. If something is broken in those next few hours, I did it. Likewise, static pages will be available throughout the upgrade process, but anything dynamic (commenting, searching, posting, etc.) may or may not… [...] One of the worst aspects of comment spam? For that brief time between GMail informing me that a “walls of the city”-related email has been shunted off to its appropriate folder, and me actually clicking on the message in question, I actually think it might be a real, honest-to-God comment. [...] It probably took more time and effort than it was worth, but my blogroll is now nothing more than an HTML list on my webpage, rather than the BlogRolling monstrosity it used to be. What does this mean to you? Well, the good news is that all of those links… [...] It seems as though Everyday, No Days Off is going to start offering its full post data in its RSS feeds – given my previous stance on the issue (with bonus irony!), I guess I will resubscribe. [...] In case I have not made myself clear in the past, as of this new year, I have stopped reading any weblog that does not publish its entire posts in its RSS feed. If you are not interested in making your entire material available to be read in… [...] For those who are concerned with such things, do not forget to update your website’s/weblog’s copyright dates for the new year. Not that people really pay attention to such things these days, but still. [...] Once again, we are going to look at the performance and statistics of this particular webpage over the last year. Just like the last time we did this, I am going to use Google Analytics data, with the repeated warning that its numbers do not agree with the numbers provided… [...] According to various archiving systems on the cortex, I started my particularly nasty habit of defacing the internet with my scribblings during the week of 08DEC02, making this month actually my seventh anniversary of weblogging (rather than the fourth I initially reported). That mindless meandering actually took place… [...] If you are interested in such things, or curious about them, a VeriSign employee by the name of Mr. Joseph A’Deo has offered to answer any questions my readers might have about GunPal’s recent VeriSign accreditation (or, probably, anything else relating to online certificates and the… [...] Over 2200 posts. [...] So for those folks out there who are concerned about the design of their particular webpages, this is a relatively interesting little tool. [...] JayG seems to have found a remarkably lucrative business model for his weblog: say a few honest things about a company’s products, and that company sends him well over $500 in random products (for further “testing”, I would imagine). [...] Huh. If you ever want to be on the receiving end of a 1700+ hit hybrid tamcle-alanche, just put up a few pictures and a positive review of a decent mid-grade custom holster, especially if the holster in question might be, in any way, controversial.
