Remove WordPress Feed Links From Header

July 8, 2009 · 7 comments

If, like me, you’re using Thesis, you may find it annoying that WordPress still outputs its default feed links even though you’ve specified a different Syndication/Feed URL under the Thesis Options page. It turns out there is a very simple solution if you’re using WordPress 2.8 or greater. If you add the following line of [...]

Remove Comments Closed Text

June 25, 2009 · 12 comments

So I recently acquired the excellent Thesis theme for WordPress. What separates Thesis from so many other themes out there is its addition of custom hooks and filters for styling. Despite all the things this makes extremely easy, there are a few things that are made needlessly difficult. For example, completely removing comments from pages [...]

New install from Leopard upgrade DVD

March 7, 2009 · 0 comments

I ordered my Macbook Pro shortly before OS X 10.5 (Leopard) was released with the confidence that I’d receive a free upgrade from OS 10.4 (Tiger).  While the upgrade was almost free (there was a $10 charge that probably covered manufacturing and shipping costs), it was just that.  An upgrade.  This didn’t bother me too [...]

So I finally broke down and bought a Mac, and I must say that I’m really liking it so far. In fact, this very post is being written on my brand new Macbook Pro using the oh-so-cool TextMate. Okay, it’s time to get back to exploring the new Mac!

So it seems that it’s been a while since my last post, and yes, I did promise that I would start posting more often. Somehow I just managed to drop the ball… again. However, I won’t let that deter me from trying to get into the rhythm again, and I stand here before you (figuratively [...]

Can you say Google Reader?

February 23, 2006 · 1 comment

I think I’m quickly becoming a Google Whore. Yes, a Google Whore. No, I’m not walking about the Googleplex trying to have sex with all the engineers that work there, and I definitely have no plans to start doing that at anytime in the future. I do, however, seem to be all over everything Google [...]

Price Gouging

December 5, 2005 · 4 comments

eBay can be a great thing, but when motivated by greed, it can also be a horrible, horrible service. Since the Xbox 360 is sold out across the nation and appears to backordered until next year, I wanted to see just how many Xbox 360s were available on eBay and how much (on average) people [...]

PHP Goodness

December 3, 2005 · 2 comments

Being the dork that I am, I’m constantly learning about computers and technology. My most recent endeavor has been learning PHP so I can create more dynamic web pages, and I’m hoping that next semester I’ll be fortunate enough to put my new PHP skills to use in an independent study. Nothing I’ve done to [...]

Tech Porn

November 25, 2005 · 3 comments

I visited CNET News.com today, and I read over their list of “Hot Holiday Tech Gifts”. Topping the list is the iPod which is poised to continue its popularity over the Christmas shopping season. I realized, yet again, that I’m an anomaly when it comes to the iPod. It’s such a trendy thing to have [...]
