Retooling

Ever since WordPress introduced native support for tags, I’ve struggled with getting a decent tagging system in place here at tbbs.
The struggle has been compounded by a well-intentioned, though not well-executed effort to convert my existing categories to tags. Some categories, most significantly my punchlines and RIP categories, translated nicely to tags. Others; e.g., the [...]

Dot 1

tbbs-land has never met an upgrade it didn’t like. We now proudly run WordPress 2.5.1.

eee Bloggin’

The last few posts were made from my eeePC, using ScribeFire. The eee’s tiny screen, combined with my poor eyes, makes it difficult to check spelling and punctuation with much efficacy. So, don’t attribute any grammar, punctuation, or spelling errors in any of the foregoing to any lack of dedication on the part of [...]

Seasonal Header Graphic

To commemorate the Kansas Jayhawks’ ascendance to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship game, I thought it appropriate to adorn the old blog header. From the Flicker, and Jeff Croft, this panorama of historic Allen Fieldhouse.
I loved this description of Allen that Jeff posted with the picture:

Thanks, WordPress, and Hosting Guy!

They’re doing something

Hosting Guy has at least checked out phpinfo. Now, bump the limit already.

Passing time

I’ve found it helpful after opening a support ticket, to follow up with a few e-mail notes to be added to the ticket. This causes activity in the ticket queue, and hopefully lets the support guys know they’re not dealing with someone who just fell off the yam wagon.
Sounds good, anyway. Or [...]

Waiting on Hosting Guy

It appears to me I need the maximum script memory increased in php.ini. I found that file;I have read/write permissions to it, according to a ls -l. I found the memory_limit line therein, bumped it up, and now vi refuses to write the changed file. I can create files in the directory, I [...]

Upgrade woes Persist

Well, we’re still back at WP 2.3.3 here in tbbs-land. Good backups have been my friend. Thus far, I’ve

Reinstalled WP 2.5

Switched to default theme.

Kicked up MaxRedirects to an obscenely high number

Disabled all plugins

Been greeted with the white screen of death on running the upgrade

Error logs indicate a PHP memory allocation error, so there’s now [...]
