Inspired by a burst of intellectual energy (if not a physical one), and by this post, I went through and did the various work still to be done: Disallowed crawling by search engines of the blog’s ~/wp-* directories. To make the reCAPTCHA stuff more explicable, I finally figured out one place to put text that helps explain it. In line 46 of recaptcha-wordpress-2.7/recaptcha.php, I replaced: <div id=”recaptcha-submit-btn-area”></div> with: <div id=”recaptcha-submit-btn-area”><font size=”2″>Please enter the two words you see above in the blank text box and click submit to submit your comment.</font></div> I’ve been moving files around at work and encrypting the ones that make sense to do so. From Cryptonomicon, I understand that “radio games” roughly translates to “funkspiel” in German (partly because the radio on German submarines used to be called the “funkmaat”). I’ve been creating sized-just-right crypted logical drives/files with TrueCrypt, putting various big-ass compressed [...] With Dreamhost’s Goodies page, there were absolutely no problems, and I needn’t have worried about my plugins or themes or theme customizations following me (unlike last time). I also upgraded my various plugins to current version. Easy peasy (though those took some SFTP and SSH action).

I made my header images largely out of my own photos and completely out of freely available images, and I changed the cycling pool from 5 to 9. Almost everything went swimmingly, except that despite the fact that Cutline’s header [...] Okay, here’s where I catalog all the changes I made to get Cutline where I wanted it to be. Need to find the/enable the archives. The Permalink to my Google Reader shared links is weirdly offset. Other minor things wrong. But anyway. Cutline is a theme I found out about from an old co-worker/friend I rarely talk to named Greg Meyer. I think the theme is quite lovely and suited to my purposes (I got tired [...] Looks like it’s something that the recent upgrade did. Since I plan to install a new theme and it’s not something I can do from work today (on the internal network, using FTP and telnet isn’t allowed, and connecting to the external wireless is awkward), I’ll punt that until later. For now all “tags” will [...] |
