AFdN Updates

Information concerning the website

A Feed for Robert Scoble, et al

I’ve created two new categories and hence, two new RSS feeds (well three, but only because WP insists that I do).

The plan is to put content in the feed that I think will be of particular interest to said person. Anybody is free to subscribe to them, although I don’t guarantee that it will interest you as much as my main feed will.

XML Feed Robert Scoble’s feed

XML Feed Gary Anderson’s feed

So why am I doing this? Two reasons. First, if I can make someone’s visit to my site better or easier to access, then I will do what I can to facilitate that. Second, I believe that what I have to say is important (see “Why I Am The Future“) and getting that information in the right peoples hands is critical. So have at it!

There, Happy?

So there was some stuff not working with last theme, and the theme before that. So I went back to the original theme. I think I’ll just work on modifying the CSS code for this theme to fit my taste.

Everybody happy now?

Countdown Timer v1.1

NOTICE: Copyright format changed from MIT to GNU GPL as of version 1.1

Not a whole lot of major thing. Thanks to Benoit Kechid (http://www.marine-et-ben.info/) for catching a calculation and syntax error. There was a request for making things linkable, so you can now add a link an event. The time is also has a dashed underlined and if you roll over it with your mouse, the date and time of the event are displayed.

I don’t have anymore ideas for this plugin, so unless I you email me with something that you would like, there probably won’t be any more updates.

Go grab it: http://www.andrewferguson.net/wp-content/dl/wp/afdn_countdownTimer-1.1.phps

No Class

Despite what “On the Docket” shows (to the right), I don’t have class today or any other day this week.

Thus is the incompatibilities of Outlook and the iCal format.

Amazon Links

I finally figured out how to make Amazon.com Associate links. So I went back and replaced all the links.

Receive AFdN Blogs via Email

In watching the way the Web is developing, I’ve noticed that it’s not as important to drive traffic to my site as it is to make those people who come to my site happy. Therefore, you can now subscribe to AFdN via email. Every time I post, you will immediately get an email with the full text of the blog. I hope that this makes it easier for you to stay in contact with me.

DB Connection Issues

There are some database connection issues with the site right now. I’ve put in a help request and hope that the situation will be resolved shortly. In the meantime, some pages may not load correctly and/or load with error messages. Just refresh the page one or more times and it should resolve itself.

Update: Apparently, there’s a DDoS attack on the SQL server. Really not a whole lot I can do except just wait.

Update II: Things seemed to be resolved….for now.
