Understanding Netflix’s New Price Plans
So today Netflix announced that they are starting new price plans. This is great news if you’re only interested in either streaming or DVD rental (but not both), but not good news if you like both… Here’s why…
New Theme and Site Navigation (Bonus: Poll)
Well I mentioned recently that I was going to make a new theme for the site and here it is! To go with the new theme I also changed the navigation. Now the menu is sorted by topic only and is pretty straightforward. (If for some reason you liked the old “Antidote” category posts, they are still here, just under “Tech Stuff”).
Some of these new sections are empty — as in there are no posts there yet — but that will change in the near future. I now have another author to help add content to this site, so stay tuned.
For comparison I have included some small screenshots of the old and new themes with a new poll
Old Template Plus New WordPress Equals Problems
oops! I guess my theme is broken!
I spent a lot of time looking into the problem I was having with the SFC plugin and after all the searching and digging I’ve come to the conclusion that my problem is most likely my Template.
The problem (as far as I can tell at this point) is that I made this template way back when I was using WordPress 2.1 and there have been many significant changes to WordPress since then and especially with the latest version (3.0).

New Favicon (aka bookmark icon)

My buddy Bran was checking out the icon I made (with a little help from GIMP and the logo Bran had made for my website — thanks again man) and he made a great suggestion… why not use use the icon for my favicon on my main website?
So I did…
If you have a website, want a custom favicon, but don’t know how to go about it, then you’re in luck because it’s really quite easy.
Step 1: Make an icon
It should be 32 x 32 (pixels) and 32 bit color.
You can use GIMP (or some
Happy New Year! (Welcome 2010)
Well it has officially be 2 years (and a couple weeks) since I first started this website. I has not lived up to what I had at first envisioned and as I look back on the past 2 years it seems clear to me that I was constantly fighting against myself to make more out of this site than it really is or probably ever will be.
So, with that, I have decided to change course – just a little bit – and start 2010 off on (hopefully) the right foot!
New goal(s):
- Even though I may not make many “Pages” with proper tutorials (as I had originally planned), I will make my best effort to post something (like short)
