Good Morning Everyone and Happy Friday!

Great storm here last night with the thunder and lightening.. supposed to continue all day with high temps...

Have a great day!

[Cleo]

For some odd reason today feels the same as any other day.

I'm red... spent most of yesterday at the beach in the ocean while little annoying fish kept on nipping me.

Taking my sunburned ass to the gym once I'm caffeinated and then just another thrilling day of pushing pussy and cock to the horny masses.

[Tekster]

Good Morning,

I have some yard work to do before it gets way to hot to be outside and then back to slinging some more porn.

Have a marvelous and productive day everyone!

[Mr Spock]

Have a Great Friday

[Simon]

Good morning world

Just another day here too, Although now that you've reminded me it's Friday, I may adjust my plans to include a longer nap and an earlier dinner. Plus if I take a long lunch, and stretch second breakfast out a bit too...it could be like working at a regular job. Good thing I've been up and knocking things down since before 5.

Wishing everyone a day where you might actually have reason to T.G.



P.S. And good wishs to Doc and the Dawg for a scan that turns out okay.

[MrMaryLou]

Bad thing is this morning when i was at the school of my son i notice my lower back was hurting, didnt put any more attention on it because i needed to get some groceries...one hour later i was doomed, my back was killing me and walking felt like my back was pulled apart, went to the drugstore to get some painkillers...they dont work that well and what i less like is the facted these meds will raise the chanse to get an heart attack or a stroke.......nice i readed that after i took 2 pills at the same time|shocking| , so i wont take those anymore but just will go flat on my back for the next days again....well fucking nice, now i can finally enjoy the holiday and i fucked up my back again

I wish you all a great day and eve...and if some sun left at your place... then send some to holland

[LeRoy]

Where did the week go? This one flew by.

[digifan]

Good day everyone,

we also had the usual storm, lightning so I was switching the computer on and off and slept like 3,5 hr

Stu,
get well soon hon, it is not fair to get sick when a vacation stars. Wish I could send you some sunshine at least but I am sitting with the lamps on all day.

Doc,
I wish the best to your son too.

[Preacher]

I've got appointments and and packing to do all day. Fun fun

Wordpress and php crap in store for today. Wordpress's excuse for an upgrade, and PHP4's impending End of Life have made for a busy week. PHP4->PHP5 is usually somewhat seamless, but, there are applications that toss things for a loop.

Other than that, more work on tap. Hope everyone has a good Friday.

Sometimes I question my choice of Movable Type over Wordpress until I read your posts anyway.

[ponygirl]

good morning everyone

Well I had some minor outpatient surgery done Wednesday to get rid of some pain I've been having for months...went well but I'm still feeling like crap from the anasthesia and all. At least they gave me a bunch of feel good pills

Still not getting much done in terms of free sites, but I have started yet another redesign of the linklist and it's already turned around my SE traffic, which went into the crapper a while back so I'm happy.

Anyway, hope everyone has a happy Friday and a great weekend!!

MT definitely doesn't have as much community support behind it, and it is a little more difficult to configure. You have fewer plugins and widgets available, but, when push comes to shove, it works.

Wordpress cannot handle high traffic on a front page, so someone wrote wp-cache. Because that fails, someone wrote wp-super-cache. Until 2.6, even if you didn't enable tags, the query that calculates tags always runs -- and that is one beastly query that is unindexed and extremely expensive in terms of query cost.

Then, once you get a large enough blog network, and start talking to it with tools that feed RSS, you have to tiptoe around because -- styles shouldn't be included in feeds, so we delete those. Feeds with character sets other than ISO-8859-1 will be mangled. What's that? a sponsor used a feed with a typographic quote? shame on them, lets mangle that feed. I really like the ever popular -- if an RSS feed breaks in the middle, lets just toss every post after that even if the XML validates.

Wordpress works somewhat well for the purpose that it was intended.... a person's online diary. Once you get upwards of 10,000 posts, the unindexed queries that wordpress tends to prefer (remember, they hired someone from MySQL to optimize queries around 2.3 and 'OMG its so fast'), it starts to fall down.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about what it would take to write an actual blog networking tool -- composed of a single admin for multiple sites, robust feed handling and proper syndication, but, as the day's slip by, there is little time left for that. One client and I have talked at length about what it would take to do it and do it right. Its just a question of time.

MT works right, every time. Whoever recommended it to you knew what they were doing. haha You might not have some of the latest gizmos and gadgets, but, at least upgrades work without taking the site down with unexplained problems, and even better -- their support team is willing to help.

The team at wordpress is pretty darn condescending when you report issues -- even stating that bugs are actually features. Removing functionality and breaking things is good because its simpler. Breaking Permalinks because noone should have ever done permalinks that way is acceptable. I upgraded my test blog, and in the upgrade, I faced the blank screen (ok, they broke a template - I removed the graphics from the default template and somehow that breaks), I faced the admin cannot log in issue (ok, remove all cookies and try again), I upgraded a plugin using their automated system (that required me to go into mysql and modify a value because even though it deactivated the plugin, it messed up the plugin script name in the autoload section and couldn't remove it), and, during the plugin upgrade it lost my settings for that plugin.

The people answering their support forum do not communicate with the people that manage trac (their bug tracking system). The people in the forum are volunteers and have no real vested interest, nor, do they have any communications with the programming team to verify issues or fix problems. They are guessing and sometimes providing misinformation.

If MT adopted the same pricing system that WordPress had, even with its slightly more complicated installation process, I am sure it would be able to capture a ton of people this week. Because most of you are doing blogs for profit, MT sees that as a professional license and charges money.

Oh, and 2.6 was released with a bunch of broken features and a pretty important security fix, so, you're required to update. But, rather than fix the bug, they disable xmlrpc because that's where the security bug is. Disabling remote posting fixes the issue unless it is enabled. Their reasoning for not fixing the bug? Noone can prove the bug exists even though there are 14000 sites in yahoo that all have links to a Russian Computer Sales company. Even Barack Obama's blog was compromised as was one of his supporters sites. Worse yet, if people take a compromised site's RSS feed and republish, you've now got another vector. Google did blacklist the domain, yahoo appears to have largely ignored it.

Wordpress is not my favorite software package this week.

Your post just made my day
I question my choice of Blogs Organizer all the time, it doesn't have all the plugins but it does have dependable support

They must not have read any of my attempts at earning a profit from blogs.

I'm sitting here doing nothing, mostly because I have so much to do, if that makes any sense. But now I can take a break from this nothing and take my war dogs to the vet and see if we can get them some rabies. Yum!

[bDok]

Morning. Just getting rolling. Had a fun day yesterday. Now it's more data entry and some more programming.

Have a good day everyone.

[Greenguy]

Good Friday Peoples

Let's see: yesterday's phone call with Jim in regards to his offline life still has me pissed off (see post about his sister-in-law) Sears has decided to fist-fuck my asshole in regards to a damaged dryer pedestal (long story that I'll post when it's all said & done) and The Bitch is with Yell's mother-in-law as her cancer is fucking with her (not eating for 2 days is never good)

I haven't looked yet, but I assume Rocco is still annoyed as well

So I'm gonna work & take various meds while I try to calm myself down.

PS - there's a BBW Cat joke in docholly's post, but I can't find a picture of my Stella & I'm too lazy to look for my camera. Good Luck, RugDawg
