Photos Round 2

February 10, 2008

Long time readers of this website will perhaps remember my previous attempt to add a photo section to this website. I called it an experiment. As such, it failed. It failed primarily from lack of time. If I had been willing, or able, to take more time to upload random (or selected) photos from my [...]

Never Simple

July 5, 2007

I have added a photo section to the silverwarethief website. As I have mentioned elsewhere, I desire to create a true photo blog. But this addition to the silverwarethief website is not that. I’m not entirely sure what this addition to the silverwarethief domain is . . . an experiment, I guess, as are all [...]

I think we survived through the software upgrade. If my e-mail subscribers get this, it means I managed to successfully re-enable the functionality. Maybe at some later date I will go into greater detail about the what and how of the hack, and my further thoughts. For the present everything is good again.

Redirected

Months ago I upgraded my website software. Recently it came to my attention that the archives to the old iteration of my website were still in existence and web search engines were still directing people to this defunct version of my site.

The New System

April 5, 2005

Not that any of my non-tech readers care, but the system switch is complete. Previously I was using Movabletype 3.15. Now I am using WordPress 1.5. Perhaps you non-techie types have noticed the new visual design. Why the switch? Several reasons. Functionally, Movabletype is a very useful system. It has served me well for many [...]

I am about to switch this site over to using WordPress 1.5. If all goes well this should not affect site access. However, there is the possibility that those readers who are accessing the RSS feed may not pick up the WordPress issued RSS feed. On the chance of this possibility all RSS readers are [...]
