Upgrade

I ran through the upgrade process for wordpress version 2.2. It looks like everything works properly, but if something broke, please let me know!

Poker Bankroll Info
Mar 24th
I’ve created a new page (accessible from the top right menu, or here) that summarizes how my poker and online casino bonuses have gone over the last couple of years of playing. It is starting to look like a fairly impressive set of numbers, if I do say so myself!
The particularly cool thing about these numbers is that my win rate at poker has skyrocketed in the last couple of months since I started playing no limit. No limit has totally been good to me – and I’m very happy to have made the switch (and so is my bottom line!).

Updates
Mar 9th
I’m continuing the improvements to this blog more slowly now, but I still intend on fixing stuff up. Today’s update includes the re-introduction of Pages — which will be used to show content that doesn’t really fit into the blog style. Most importantly, these are pages that will contain data that people might be more interested in at a static moment in time. So I’ll use these pages for stuff like: longer articles that might be of interest longer than a blog entry, as well as stuff like my resume and my list of publications. Hopefully these can grow as I continue to contribute to this blog!
The menu to the upper right that displays the pages actually took me a frustratingly long time to make, and it still doesn’t display properly in IE 7. Ugh. However, it does work in the browsers I have to test with, so hopefully it looks okay. Let me know if you have problems with it. It isn’t perfect, but I’ll try tweaking it later when I’m less frustrated with it!

New Blog Theme
Jan 25th
There’s still some kinks to be worked out, but the main functionality for the template is now in place. Let me know what you think! Like it? Don’t like it? Either way, I’d like your opinion. Note that I have only tested this design in firefox in linux. I’m going to try and test it with IE7 and firefox on windows when I get home tonight – hopefully it works alright on those. If you see weird things happening in other browsers, please let me know – I will do my best to fix up any weird stuff.
There’ll be some tweaks going on over the next couple weeks, but most of the important elements are already finished.
Hope you enjoy the new design!

Major Site Overhaul
Jan 23rd
In addition to installing WordPress 2.1, I’m working on a new site design. I figure it is more than time I made my very own blog design … rather than tweaking an existing design. If you see some weird stuff happening with this blog, you’ll know what’s going on (not that I have all that many readers!).

WordPress Upgrade
Jan 9th
It only took a couple minutes, so if you didn’t notice the short downtime for this blog, then no worries. It looks like everything upgraded smoothly, but if you notice something not behaving like it should, let me know!

This blog, and other stories
Dec 31st
This goes out to my readers. I’m gonna try really hard to keep posting here more often. If the last post was more than a day or two ago, please leave a comment somewhere pinging me about it. I totally want to post more often, and am sure I’ve left out some important events in recent days since I haven’t really been posting here all that regularly. That is, if you really find this blog all that interesting!

Inconsistencies
Dec 21st
So I thought people weren’t commenting on my blog … turns out I was wrong. Thanks to the couple of people who’ve commented! Unfortunately, I had the moderation system settings screwed up so those comments weren’t showing up. The reason for the delay was that it wasn’t emailing me when a comment was made.
Sorry about that! Thanks for the comments and keep them coming!

Server move complete!
Sep 27th
Well it’s done and everything seems to have moved fairly smoothly. If you notice any issues, please let me know because they aren’t immediately obvious to me.
This move signals the first time I pay for web hosting for my blog/website. This is made possible via a really cool webhosting company called nearlyfreespeech that lets you run your website for what seems like really really cheap. Their hole philosophy is very agreeable and if you are looking for a place to host a site, I recommend checking them out!
As a result of starting to pay for webhosting, you may see the return of google ads in more prominent spaces. I’m not certain that I’ll do that just yet, but be forwarned. If they do return, I’d appreciate a few clicks since a regular google ad income should *easily* pay for the hosting fees.
And that’s all from me for now. Back to my thesis!

DNS Updates
Sep 26th
I’m moving my webpage and blog (again)! This time there isn’t anything you have to do. The urls should just work like before, but my blog is going to experience some downtime as I get ready for the transfer. Just so you know, you’ll probably have a couple of days where you can’t read my ever so exciting blog!
But never fear, I will be back!
See you in a little while.
