WordPress 2.3 Transition
You have to redirect your categories to the tags page so that user agents (browsers and RSS readers) can update their links (if they bother, sigh).
PowerShell Highlighting for GeSHi
A while back I switched to GeSHi for source code highlighting in my posts, and recently I started writing PowerShell scripts in my posts, and calmly sticking it in <code lang=“posh”> tags, half expecting it to just work, like all the other languages … but of course it didn’t. So after a few searches on [...]
Huddled Columns
I’ve created a variation on the Plain Masses theme, based on the idea of having lots of extra columns on the front page. I got the basic idea from the International Herald Tribune site — they use tables to achieve the effect, and obviously have strict control over what shows up where. I’ve been trying [...]

This is just a short note to explain why I turned off IntenseDebate: it just seems to use way too much memory on my server — I had to increased the memory available to my blog twice, and was still having issues. Quite frankly, I don’t feel like I was getting anything out of using [...]
