After our recent trip to Vegas, I got hit in the head with the reality that I really need to lose the weight, AND keep the weight off. I’ve been able to lose weight but I’ve managed to pack them back on in a matter of 6 months and I’m sick and tired of going [...]

Lots n’ lots of stuff has happened in the past month and needs to be put into the blog (plus various threats from some readers that the site just plain sucks). Most of my recent updates have been dropped into Facebook or Twitter, which explains the lack of updates on the site. It’s about 2:48am [...]

This blog is dying quick…..maybe the WordPress upgrade to 2.8 might help….stay tuned for another update hopefully soon…

Tired: Need to sleep Uploaded by b-side T-Mobile I stayed up all night to revamp my blog and this picture is the result. I can successfully post from my phone and the dns entries for the blog are slowly making their way are the world. A few things that still need to be done are [...]

So it’s been a while since I’ve posted so I’ll drop the updates down.. New Home: Wanting to keep this blog’s maintenance down to a minimum – I bit on a hosting plan so I can sunset my old linux box hosting my blog. After doing some research I ended up going with Hostmonster.com mainly for the [...]

My aging box that’s currently hosting this website along with http://gallery.ondabside.com is back online. (Thanks to my #1 fan in San Ho – for notifying me). I’m going to look over a few hosting options in the next couple weeks because I’m sure I’m paying hella in electricity bills by having this one box up [...]

The new version of WordPress came out ( version 2.5.1) and the whole upgrade took almost 15 mins. Not bad, not bad at all considering I have multiple themes and a handful of plugins. After following the steps located on the wordpress.org site I was able to upgrade the site from 2.5 to 2.5.1 in [...]

It took me almost 4 hours to figure this problem out, and all that was needed was a simple change to the config file for Apache. Problem: I wanted to change the permalink structure from the default setting under permalinks in WordPress, /p=%postid% , to something more pleasing to the eyes. After changing the structure in the [...]

The new dashboard in WordPress 2.5 is a lot smoother than previous versions. The UI took me a few minutes to get accustomed to but setting up plugins, and the widgets was a cinch. Getting WordPress up wasn’t too hard, it was getting Apache to start accepting the traffic on http://blog.ondabside.com. After spending a couple hours on [...]
