I was feeling productive today and had some spare time, so I decided to work on the blog a little bit. I just finished adding support for Gravatars; if you have one, your comments will show up with a pretty picture beside them. If not, they’ll just show the default one. I also made a [...]

Up until now, I’ve been managing spam comments coming into my blog manually. When someone tries to post a comment, they have to get it approved. Once I’ve approved one comment from an IP address, new ones from that address get approved automatically. I get a mail for each new comment that’s waiting for approval, [...]

Wow, my blog is two years old now. It’s kind of crazy to think that it’s been around that long. What’s even crazier is that sixdeaths.com will turn five this coming November. I can’t believe I’ve been running a website for that long. Anyway, in honor of two years of random thoughts from yours truly, [...]

It’s been a long time since my last post, and quite a few things have been happening since then. A little over a month ago, I mentioned in a post that I had moved up to a higher limit game in poker, and that kind of kick-started a frenzy for me. I’ve been playing two [...]

I’m changing hosting providers for this website (again), so things may be a little messy for a few days. I’ve also moved my blog back to WordPress, which, in hindsight, I should have never gone away from. I’ve also upgraded to Gallery version 2, and I’m looking forward to figuring out all the new things [...]

After a little bit of delay, the pictures page is back up and running. Well, sort of. You see, while Gallery is extremely nice in most ways, I am having trouble getting it completely working on my new hosting provider. There are lots of technical reasons, but at the moment I don’t have any solutions. [...]

Just in case you couldn’t tell, I have my blog back up and running again. I’m still putting the final touches on the embedded theme, but for the most part it’s done. I have switched over from Wordpress to DasBlog, and so far things are going pretty well. I actually like that DasBlog uses files [...]

I am currently in the process of migrating my webpage onto a better server. At the moment, it’s pretty bare-bones, but I hope to have the rest up and working shortly. As always, I tend to get a little over-zealous when I do these types of things, so you may or may not find a [...]

About a month ago, my server crashed and I had to re-configure this website. When I did, for some reason or another I didn’t set up the gallery again (probably because I’m lazy). About a week ago, I got the gallery back up and running, and now I’ve added this blog section. In the next [...]
