Added a comments feed
I can’t really think of a good reason that I didn’t offer this before, but for those who care: you may now subscribe to the “comments”:http://feeds.feedburner.com/tins/comments that others make on this site. If you’re a regular reader in the aggregator, you may miss some good conversations that happen when others stop by and leave a [...]
Coral CDN - A new toy!
Unless I’m missing something, “Coral CDN”:http://www.coralcdn.org/ is a really big deal. How’ve I missed this? At dinner last week with “David Lawrence”:http://www.thedavidlawrenceshow.com/, David mentioned in passing that he uses Coral CDN for all of his podcast file downloads. That means he incurs almost no bandwidth costs, and the CDN kicks in automatically.
Few steps back. Akamai [...]
Resume as a wiki
In the “eventually I’ll get around to it” file was a comprehensive resume on my site. (No, I’m definitely not looking for a job.) I’d been keeping an outline in “Bonsai”:http://www.natara.com/Bonsai/index.cfm for a couple years, but it didn’t have the old stuff (where I spoke after I graduated law school, which articles I wrote, etc.) [...]
Feed funkiness
Thanks to “Matt Mower”:http://matt.blogs.it/ for pointing out that my “feed”:http://feeds.feedburner.com/tins was, well, funky. I think it was related to my “upgrade”:http://www.rklau.com/tins/archives/2006/09/08/feedburner_plugin_v21_for_wordpress_released.php the other day (though, it should be noted: not really a byproduct of the upgrade itself, but of some legacy URL handling by WordPress) that I should have caught.
In any event, all should be [...]
FeedBurner Plugin v2.1 for WordPress released
Congrats to Steve Smith, who just released a “fantastic update”:http://orderedlist.com/articles/feedburner-plugin-v21-released/ to his popular plugin for WordPress. The plugin has always been a great tool for redirecting subscribers from WordPress to your FeedBurner feed, but it involved a little .htaccess magic that was periodically troublesome for users. (It also didn’t work on all versions of WordPress, [...]
New WordPress plugin - Landing Sites
I’m in love. I just found a WordPress plugin that replicates some nice functionality I had in my old Movable Type install. The Movable Type version was called “MT Refsearch”:http://www.rklau.com/tins/archives/2003/12/03/implemented_mt-refsearch.php, and the idea behind it is pretty cool: if you come to a page on my site because you searched for a post, Refsearch would [...]

John Zeratsky “shared some details”:http://johnzeratsky.com/archives/001478.php about how I did this. I’m pretty excited by this, as it’s a terrific [...]
WordPress, 24 hours in
Quick update on my transition to WordPress… this has by far been the smoothest conversion between blog platforms. (By comparison, converting from Radio to Movable Type took a couple of weeks of effort.) Some additional tweaks I’ve added since last night:
“Now reading”:http://robm.me.uk/projects/plugins/wordpress/now-reading/ plugin. Lets me identify what book I’m currently reading, links to Amazon.com (even [...]
Switching to WordPress
For those who care about such things, I migrated this blog from “Movable Type”:http://www.movabletype.org/ to “WordPress”:http://www.wordpress.org/. Why the switch? For starters, my MT install was starting to accumulate quite a bit of cruft, and it was taking increasingly long to post to the blog. Furthermore, attempts to weed out comment spam were blocking legitimate [...]
Site overhaul
It’s been forever since I’ve done an overhaul of this site, and it’s starting to show its age. Things that need to get fixed/updated:
* Blogroll. I don’t want a laundry list of every site I’ve ever read, but there’s a core group of blogs and sites I read with regularity that I want to point [...]
