Syndication Fixed

I’m unsure whether users were using the RSS(Really Simple Syndication) feeds, as you would have had to link to the original @wp-rss.php@ or @wp-rss2.php@ files. The links in the Meta block on the right were broken, but they have been fixed and now work as … Read More

RideStat

After some hard work and reworking of the graphing code (multidimensional arrays start getting very complex with more than three levels), I have gotten to a point where I am ready to present to you my latest creation: “RideStat(RideStat, custom bike riding log)”:http://www.sensoryoutput.com/ridestat/.

Until Tomorrow

I have been running around all day today, but rest assured, I have a litany of items that I want to cover. (In fact, I do not think I will be able to cover them all in great detail, so I may just pick some.) … Read More

SVG Goodness

You gotta love SVG(Scalable Vector Graphics)! I won’t pretend to know anything about creating Flash, but I will say that a non-proprietary, XML-based vector drawing language must be better. I spent a little time the other day learning about its syntax from “LearnSVG.com”:http://www.learnsvg.com/ and applied … Read More

Back To My Computer

Archives up…

As the title says, I have the archives page up, finally. WordPress has a lot of functionality, but it does not provide a built-in page with options on how they should be viewed. My archives page is very simple: just a listing by year, month … Read More

Geeklog v2

“Geeklog”:http://www.geeklog.net/, a popular CMS(Content Management System), is currently in the process of getting a huge upgrade. Currently at version 1.3.9sr1, v2 promises a new OO programming model, improved plugin design (thanks in part to OO), and a whole new authentication layer complete with support for … Read More

CSS Tweakage

Well, I just spent a couple hours mulling Sensory Output’s CSS, refining, checking, altering, reducing clutter and repetitive portions. The result is cleaner, but I would like to do one more once-over and really organize and comment it. This process also gave me time to … Read More
