Moar swotting

Since I finally switched web hosts a year ago, I’m no longer plagued by the cramped 5GB server space issue. Gone are the days where I had to monkey around Cox’s pesky port 80 blocking and upload throttling to serve this content from a server sitting in my basement.

Took me almost a year, but I’ve fixed all of the audio links in the Millionaire’s Holiday sub-site. It’s nothing all that exciting, just a few broadcasts of The Millionaire’s Holiday, my show on WFHB that ran back in 2005 – 2006.

Anyway, if’n you’d been pining to see what I was up to six-plus years ago, you can finally get that itch scratched.

Not Safe For Working

I’ve been listening to a lot of People Like Us because, well, Vicki has been publishing to the podcast again. Hooray!

Anyway, this has been laying around for a bit so I thought I’d pepper it with a few more samples and finally get it out there for someone to listen to.

Not Safe For:

  • Work
  • Parents
  • Parties
  • …or much of anything else

Needless to say, contains bad words and sexual language. Hooray!

And so, finally, The Millionaire’s Not Safe For Working Holiday [24.7MB mp3].

Under the hood

I’ve spent a few minutes this morning mucking with the PHP behind this blog for the first time in forever. Notes:

  1. I still hate PHP. It so easily facilitates mixing code and output that even if you’re doing your best to avoid that kind of crappy behavior, you can’t help but do it.
  2. Not fighting the flow allows for many more fun things to be added to one’s blog.
  3. Albeit, there is much less control over the markup, and thus the presentation.
  4. PHP still sucks.
  5. I hate PHP

On the other hand, this should enable better integration between blog / Facebook / Twitter…and some day Google+ if only Google would open their API to read/write instead of read-only. It’s surprising behavior from them.

So, enjoy the “better” search, the Twitter feed, and better organized archives.
