So, for the next month, I’m officially putting WordPress on probation and testing out Tumblr on a less-casual basis. I’ll be attempting to post at least once per-day with any sort of media, mainly focusing on links, photos and music. I’m also going to attempt to post some longer posts both here and on PTL, to see which better suits my longer articles of writing. Of course, I consider this blog post to be a medium-sized post, yet it is only a couple of hundred words, so it’s possible that Tumblr will suit my writing better. If I end up moving, I’m considering grabbing a new domain name, as this one is starting to get a little tired and I’m getting sick of its irrelevancy.

In a month’s time, I’ll hopefully be able to decide on whether to keep this blog or to switch. Hopefully, I’ll be able to discover the joy of Tumblr myself.

The blog has been completely refreshed with a new theme from plaintxt.org called Simplr. This enables me much more flexibility in doing things, including the galleries, as I hadn’t bothered to update my previous theme in a long time. Hopefully, it will also allow threaded comments in the future

The home page is now much more like what I want, as it shows my current projects and several forms of contact (please don’t spam me! ). I originally also had a “famous people” section on there with links to all the people that I wanted to give a shout out to, but there were way too many names to be able to keep track of them all. For that, I apologise to everyone who should have been on that list, but you’ll just have to live with it.

I’ve also finally added a link to my Code section, which I’ll also be changing around a bit. In the mean time, enjoy the directory listing and lack of integration with the rest of the site. There are more things on the site other than that which I have to fix up, including the asides styling. I’ll also be syndicating my Twitter posts (no replies though) over to here in the form of blog posts, with a little help from Alex King’s Twitter Tools plugin.

I haven’t yet mentioned any where what to do if you wish to hire me for work, for a few good reasons, the first and foremost being that I don’t have much time to take on that many projects at the moment. I’m currently doing a small amount of work as a freelancer on outsourced jobs, but only where I know I can trust the original person. That said, I’m not against doing any work at all, so if you want to enquire, hit me up on my contact form and I’ll see if I can work out something.

I’d also like to mention here about Hello Dolly, a WordPress articles site focusing on the content of our posts. I’ve not written any articles yet, but I’ve got a few ideas in the pipeline. If there’s anything WordPress related you’d like to see me write about over at HD or here, leave me a comment on this post and I’ll add it to my ideas list.

Other than that, there’s not much else to say really. I know it has been a long time since I published a blog post of substance here, but hopefully I’ll be able to change this in the coming year. I’ll also be posting a few WordPress plugins to show that I do actually know what I’m talking about and that I’m not just a vaporware producer.

Now that I have all of that said (and in only 517 words!), I wish you all a happy new year!

Merry Christmas to everyone! (Note: this images haven’t been edited, the only editing process applied is the picking and choosing of images)

After a little digging, I noticed that my library still existed, in the form of an “iTunes Library (Damaged).itl” file. It didn’t appear too damaged to me, and I wondered how to import it back into iTunes. After trying iTunes’ import function and finding that didn’t work, I replaced my “iTunes Library.itl” with my damaged one and deleted my “iTunes Music Library.xml” file. After then opening iTunes up again, all my music had reappeared and the world was at peace once again (at least, until I put my rock music back on).

I do have one tip for Apple however: either make this more obvious, or let iTunes import .itl files, so that that backup folder (”Previous iTunes Libraries”) can actually be put to use by non-techies.

I’ve heard of viruses, but this is just crazy.

Install Smarty into an include directory

1. This is most easily done by extracting the lib/ directory from the Smarty package into a new directory called includes/
2. Rename the lib/ directory to smarty/
3. Add the following line to your Help Center’s config file:
   set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . '/path/to/includes/');

Install the HTTP_Request PEAR library

Install this like any other PEAR library. If you don’t have PEAR, download the archive and extract the HTTP_Request-* into the previously created includes directory. Then rename the HTTP_Request-* to HTTP

Setup the database

1. Create a database called “sprinkles”
2. Import the schema from the included SQL file, sprinkles-schema.sql

Create a folder for compiled templates

Create the templates_c/ directory in the Help Center directory to hold the compiled templates for Smarty and make sure it is writable.

Edit your config

Edit config.php in your Help Center installation and add the following, replacing “root” and “password” with your respective database username and password:
$mysql_username = 'root';
$mysql_password = 'password';

Run the web installer

Head to your installation of Help Center in your browser and the web installer will kick in.

Hopefully this process becomes easier in the future. I would recommend to the Get Satisfaction developers to include HTTP_Request and Smarty with the Help Center package.

“Fuck you”,
Sally muttered
while she
sat down
on the
quite peculiar
floor. She
was not
impressed with
SHRIKEE’s lack
of intelligence.
She could
not take
any more
of it.
“Not again”,
said SHRIKEE,
while unwrapping
the dog.
He only
had himself
to blame
for the
large hole
in his
anus.
Sally quit
her job
because she
had a huge
pile of
magazines under
her pillow
. The pile
contained such
filth that
her boss
wanted to
let her
bend over
and let him
touch her
under her
belt. So
she decided
that she
would not
allow him
to grope
her udder.
She couldn’t decide
who would be allowed
to touch the
udder. Which is
her favourite body part so she had to be careful about
letting anyone rub their
greasy paws on
her. So she quit.
It was a new beginning for Sandy, no longer did she want to think about her udder, a body part that no human should have.
Sally just wanted to be like all the other girls at school, with their
udderless bellies.
She decided to look up udderless in the
urban dictionary, what she found was
that normal
girls refer to them as bewbs
and that they are normally placed
higher on the chest but an udder did have its benefits such as,
giving milk, and stimulate the
navel more directly
now that she had four
teats.
Sally was soon known as the super-navel-stimulator.
which scared the boys at first…
until they too tried the
naval stimulation that Sally could provide them.
Sally wasn’t happy yet, she still
could only pleasure 4 guys at once.
She contacted a VET to see if they had more
transplant udders lying about unused, she was surprised to find
that they didn’t keep them in storage
but that they were infact looking for udder-donors.
and especially udders that could be mounted on her back, which is a special treat for men.
Sally died on operating table trying to get a 10th udder attached. The End.
