Odds and Ends
It’s been a busy week, but I’ve managed to find time for a little recreational computing here and there. Here’s the latest on some of my recent entries.
My WordPress conversion is largely completed. I still need to get a comments Atom feed set up, and I’d still like to tag some of my pre-conversion posts, but I’m otherwise nearly done.
I still haven’t quite gotten tag pages working as I want, but I’ve got it working with redirects, for now.
I’m still making little tweaks to Tranquility, the WordPress theme I created for the site, as well as some of the meta parts of the site. I haven’t finished the About or Colophon pages yet, but I did get the Licence page finished, and a number of minor display tweaks made.
I replaced my lousy V5 WRT54G with a $30 refurbished V1.1 and a copy of OpenWRT White Russian RC5, which rocks.
The one thing I’ve always wanted from my router has been DNS resolution of my DHCP host names; none of the Linksys firmwares across two models of router have done it, and neither did the last version of Sveasoft I tried (the last before the subscription fiasco). Works perfectly with OpenWRT; with a quick edit to the device’s
/etc/hosts
file, my static IP machines (my server, and the router itsself) also now have DNS-resolvable names.Less than a week after I fixed my page titles, Google has reindexed most of them, so now my search hits have titles again.
Technorati is still showing lots of bad links from my test site, which is
410 Gone
.I still need to write up my Blosxom to WordPress conversion method, which I promised to do. Hopefully by next weeked.
