I downloaded the Mingle Forum Plugin today and started tooling around with it. After working through a number of small configuration problems, I discovered that you have to manually allow users to post in forums. Since the plugin is actually really great, I didn’t want to scrap it despite this missing functionality. It didn’t seem [...]

I’m up late tonight with some overnight maintenances for work. On one hand, it’s only 11pm here because work is pegged to EDT and I’m in HST. The bad thing is that I’m also pretty tied to EDT and wake up at 5am or earlier. If I were still on the East Coast, it’d be [...]

Dominic and Joe were visiting from Monday to Wednesday. It was really great to see some people that we knew since we haven’t seen any of our friends since we left in May. It’s definitely weird. We did manage to get a bunch of beach and snorkeling time in, hence the sore legs. Since I [...]

Ok, so this blog thing…. not so much with the updates. There’s a really good reason why: In a month, I’m moving to Hawaii. See, told ya. After I get settled, I plan on getting back w/ the updates. I’ll also have fun stuffs to talk about and hopefully tons of pictures to post. Until [...]

It’s the day after Thanksgiving and I’m sitting on my ass watching TV and wasting time on the internet. While far from the most productive, it’s not the worst way to spend a day off. While flipping around, I came across the show Alone In The Wild. It’s absolutely amazing. Here’s the basic idea: Alone [...]

It’s the last day of October – Halloween – and I’m not looking forward to the winter at all. I don’t even look forward to fall. If there’s a hell for me, it’s full of ice and snow, not fire — Stygia. I realized that, yet again, I’ve been very bad at updating. Facebook gets [...]

I went to UFC 118 last night at the TD Garden — such a fun time! I’m a fairly recent UFC convert, but I’ve been really enjoying the sport. I have some friends in town from Portland, OR that are big fans and have been to events in the past, so we ponied up the [...]

I haven’t posted since 2009. That’s kinda horrible. I’ve been meaning to post an update for a while, but simply haven’t gotten around to it. While I come up with a more content-rich update, know that I just uploaded 15 new images to my Underwater Gallery. We were able to get out to the Isle [...]

I fly out to Portland tomorrow. I’m far from being “packed”, but I’m “very organized” right now since I did all laundry-related work earlier in the day and there’s nice piles of clothes ready for me to pack up. I don’t depart tomorrow until 4:45, so I should be totally fine as long as I [...]

I just downloaded a wordpress app for the iPhone and seeing how well it works. So far, it’s pretty slick. Later, if this goes smoothly, I’ll figure out how it works with images. Definitely neat!
