A textbook example of “blog-fu”

If anyone is unclear about the concept of “blog-fu”, this is the picture perfect example.

Blog about an upcoming uncomfortable medical procedure, the annoying and inconvenient pre-procedure preparations, and crack a few jokes in the meanwhile and then “bleg” for any advice.

RSS feed and site going down in support of the fight against SOPA/PIPA.

I probably ought to have posted this a tad earlier.

Update: …and we’re back. Updates later.

Nice to see the WordPress crew sticking to their release schedule

Which is (roughly):

Release candidate #1

Release candidate #2

Release candidate #3

Big Incremental release! Everybody upgrade! Features! Bug fixes! Cool Stuff!

Emergency Bug Fix Release! Upgrade before the bad guys get up to speed!

 

 

Seeing as how my php-fu is mighty weak, and how WordPress is free and generally fabulous I really ought not to complain.

Anyway, the command line one-liner for those who installed via subversion is:
svn sw http://core.svn.wordpress.org/tags/3.3.1 .

(subversion instructions are here)

indefinite detention without habeas corpus signed into law

How’s that Hope and Change working out for you in 2012?

The absolute worst shit was that the bastard pulled it off on New Year’s eve. What, did he somehow think we would be too busy celebrating or something to see that big black stain on his legacy?

0bama now joins 322 congresscritter bastards who voted “aye” and the 13 fucking weenie congressthings who voted “present” in unambiguously violating their oath of office.

Now can we judge them all based on the content of their character?

SOPA Suporters list appears to have been pulled

The list was (formerly thoughtfully provided by your government) here (dead link)

Anyway, I found it on MegaUpload [1] as well as probably hundreds of readily (“reddit-ly”) available web forum posts. Ya think GoDaddy has ever heard of the “Streisand effect“?

The newer, revised, list seems to be available here. Besides noticing GoDaddy has gone AWOL, I haven’t done a diff on the lists.
