Always Something To Do

Moving the blog from Blogspot to Katalytis has been easier than I thought it would be, and tougher than I thought it would be. For some reason, I’m reminded of quest chains from my MMORPG days (years). In order to have the key to enter the dungeon and save the dipshit of the day, you had to prove yourself worthy by jumping through various digital hoops and complete a set of varied asinine quests. Just when you think things can’t get any stranger, you’re sent off to collect 30 berries from giant’s dung.

Instead of relying on various Post It notes scattered across my desk’s surface, I’ll just keep my ToDo list here. That way, not only will I have the increased pressure of public scrutiny, you fine readers will have the chance to add to my misery, er, um, goals in the comments.

Done:

• Change all self-referential links to point to Katalytis instead of Blogspot.
• Change all image sources to point directly to Picasa instead of Blogspot.
• .htaccess
• robots.txt
• Gravatar enabled.
• Once your first comment is approved, subsequent comments are not delayed. Subject to correction if taken advantage of.
• “Subscriber” registration is enabled, but not mandatory to leave a comment.
• OpenID enabled for commenters and registered subscribers. Not mandatory to log in with OpenID to leave a comment, but you will skip the spam check delay if you do.
• Get raw server log parser as my current client is hopelessly out of date. Still need to get a log parser, but my immediate need has been met with findstr.
• Enable mobile formatting.

In Progress:

• Tweak colors and/or template used.

To Do:

• Reduce the size of the Creative Commons notice & icon.
• Put the boxes away, but leave one out for LaLa. All boxes put away, find new box for LaLa.
