Quick and Dirty Tools: WP Tattler

31 January, 2010 – 21:16

As I mentioned a number of days ago, I had written a script that would let me check WordPress installs even if they’re mostly broken, as long as the database information is available to me. I noted that I wanted to be able to run it from the command line at some point. I managed [...]

Revisiting: Calorie Counts on Receipts?

31 January, 2010 – 01:32

Right now, I’m not seeing anyone doing that, which [...]

OMG OTA TV YAY

12 January, 2010 – 12:06

Last year, I built a fractal antenna for myself, so that I could try to watch local TV. It’s large (1′ square of plywood), crude (1′ square of plywood), but largely effective. I get all of my local channels except ‘one’ (10.1, 10.2, same network, so one channel, sorta), with very little disruption. It’s amusing that [...]
