New Website Features

computer_nerd.jpgStill tweaking things here and there. Found a WordPress theme I like at Theme Time. Took a little tweaking but it seems to be working good now. Was simple enough to replace the default banner that came with the theme with my own little hack. Gallery2 is up and running but I don’t have many photos there yet. Using the WPG2 plugin made integrating Gallery into WordPress a snap. Hardest part was modifying the WordPress theme so Gallery2 still looked good while embedded. Couple other changes on the backend such as the Google Sitemap Generator for WordPress and AWStats for log file analyzing.

I’m having fun even if I have nothing to say :)

Vroom vroom!

Just MarriedI drive a 2001 VW GTI 1.8T and was recently having some trouble passing smog. Was sure it was caused by one of the many “upgrades” I’ve done to it so I procrastinated for quite some time. Eventually took it to the shop for diagnosis and it turns out the catalytic converter had failed. She’s back on the road and running better than she has in a long time.

Wedding Announcements

230px-seinfeld_s7e24.jpgHave spent the majority of the day printing wedding announcements with Karen. Addressing and stamping all these envelopes reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Susan dies from licking the toxic envelopes for George and her wedding. Hope we’ll both be ok ;-)

Hello world!

Just got the site up and live. Still waiting on DNS to fully propagate until the chartlonfamily.net address will work. Have been playing around with WordPress trying to get it configured and looking good. Really like what I see from it so far.
