clock … watching time, the only true currency

OK, I’m biased. But I think OpenDNS CacheCheck is remarkable. Very simple, sure: you can see what address OpenDNS has for a domain, and ask OpenDNS to refresh that address if it’s not correct. Nothing more. Read what I wrote on the OpenDNS blog for more. But if it’s so simple, how come no one [...]

When I switched WordPress themes many moons ago, I “lost” the comments link at the end of each post as it appears on the home page. It was a simple theme edit, which I just resolved now. If you’re curious, the missing line of code was: < ?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comments »’, ’1 Comment »’, ‘% [...]

(I’m making the connection in the headline, even if no one else would.) The blog measurement service Measure Map craaawwwwllllssss. I know… I’ve been using it for months, even before Google acquired the project from Adaptive Path. Today, I read that FeedBurner bought BlogBeat, expressly to beef up their analytics. And I say to myself… [...]

I’ve just upgraded to WordPress 2.03 from 1.5, less than six months after finally switching. So far, so good. This post will help test. Let me know if anything appears awry. I also added a way to subscribe to full-text posts via e-mail, courtesy of FeedBurner. For those that are interested, enter your address at [...]

I’m not satisfied with my current webhost, TextDrive.com, and I’m looking for suggestions/alternatives. TextDrive has provided good support, mostly, and the $25/month for shared hosting is reasonable, though clearly not the cheapest out there. I have a handful of domains (<10), and pencoyd.com, running clock is the only active one. The 2GB storage and 10GB/month [...]

(Click the thumbnail for full-size.) I don’t know what this picture says about my blog’s structure, but I’m interested in different visualization efforts all the same. Here, clock‘s HTML source as a graph, courtesy of Sala. No last name given, but let’s assume the aharef in the domain is a last name until we learn [...]

Thanks to the very helpful geekgrrl on the WordPress.org support forums, clock is ticking once more, after being broken for a bit. All posts have their content once more. I noted the problem this morning with this note “Post content and comments not rendering (WP 1.5.2)” and a similar post “All copy in posts has [...]

Somehow, I broke my blog. All that shows up now are the headlines, categories, and timestamps. The content is still there in the database when I go to edit, but not rendering. I haven’t changed anything that I know of, but it is suspicious (maybe?) that post 1000 was the last one live. I’m making [...]

Today was a day of recovery, from a vacation! And a milestone. I started clock three years ago today. I think my pace was greater the first year, and maybe the second year, too. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. (Keep repeating that!)

I run Measure Map on clock to stay somewhat apprised of who’s reading what on this blog. I’m an alpha customer, so I paid attention last week when Google purchased the company from Adaptive Path. I don’t pretend to know Google’s strategy on analytics, but I am curious, personally, to know what the long-term cost [...]
