Larry’s Log

I’m playing around with a new theme for this weblog right now. I’m probably going back to what I had but this one had some features that I wanted to play with for a bit. Bear with me. Okay?

Just about the time I start getting back into the groove of updating this weblog life catches back up with me. I’ve spent the past week working in a plant that packages fresh salads starting up a new packaging line. The plant is kept at around 35°F. so I guess you can say that I’ve […]

It isn’t so much writer’s block as it is that I just don’t have anything to say. I guess I could have written about my trip to Dahlonega last weekend but I went there, looked though some shops with Gerri, had a decent, but not great meal at an Italian restaurnt there and then came […]

For a little over the last twenty-four hours this site has been down due to a little security problem my webhost was recovering from. I knew he was having some problems so I waited until this morning to call to get a few things ironed out. I got permissions straightened out and my cron jobs […]

On and off over the past couple of weeks I’ve been doing a little tweaking to my Blosxom templates and plugins to make this site valid XHTML 1.0 Strict and clean up the CSS to be valid CSS. It was close when I first put it up but there were some problems in some of […]

If things work right you ought to be able to point your newsreader to www.flutterby.com and subscribe to flutterby.larryslog and see this post. Of course things never go right the first time.
Of course things will have to be tested.
And tested…
No, it isn’t working yet, but I’ll get there.
Update: It still doesn’t work and I’m not […]

There has been a lot of discussion going on about bloggers editing their posts after they have published it and of the author of the blogs editing out flames in their comments. Some folks are pointing out the ethics of doing these things with sides being taken and whatnot. One blogger, Rebecca Blood, came […]

I did something stupid when I first set up this site. I wanted an about file that I could tell a little about me. I just whipped up an HTML file formatted similar to the rest of the site and threw it in the root directory of Larry’s Log. I should have let Blosxom manage […]

I’m playing again. Google is doing targeted advertising and I’m curious as to what ads appear for various topics. For now and the forseeable future you will see ads on this site. These ads are suppose to be relevent to the topic of the page and I want to see what they are keying on. […]

I haven’t really left or anything, just been real busy. I’ll be back soon, I promise.

One thing I missed when moving from my old site to this site was the logo I was using over there. It’s just a little graphic that I found on a free clip-art website but something about that little line drawing made me feel comfortable. I thought it sort of caught the spirit of someone […]

Okay, I know you aren’t suppose to do this but I don’t have a huge amount of traffic and I’m not making any money with this weblog so I thought, “What the heck.” I’m now using Blosxom 2.0 beta 3 to generate this site. The betas had been working real smoothly and some of the […]

It appears that I now have comments working on this site.

I was just playing around with my Blosxom templates and did a rebuild of all my static pages to implement the changes on all the pages. I’m also checking out Syndirella, and liking it pretty well for Beta software, and noticed that there were updates in my list of sites. This site was showing to […]

I’m playing around with the templates this morning, trying to get an index working for this site and also adding a few things that are more or less invisible to you while reading in your average browser. I’m adding a few meta tags and adding some attributes to the various HTML tags in the templates.

The […]
