If you wish to make a blog from scratch, you must first invent the universe.
BRB, upgrading WordPress. Hopefully none of my customized shizz will break, because I doubt I’ll have time to do any major fixin’…
NOTE, FROM THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE: Success!
NOTE, FROM THE LATER FUTURE: Posts like these are basically useless. If the upgrade hadn’t been successful, you wouldn’t even see anything!
Yeah, so I updated my geotagging post, since I found a better way to do the iframe-y stuff.
That is all.
I will freely admit that I probably have at least the second worst URL in the history of the earth planet.
In my defense: I was computing under the influence when I registered it, and all the good ones were taken.
In keeping with the times, I have looked into this whole URL shortening thing that’s been taking several of the internets by storm. And so I present, for your ease of use and mine, something that would fit on a business card to be handed out to babes:
http://bit.ly/wwwhatever (wwwowsers that’s short!)
(THIS USED TO BE A FEW DIFFERENT POSTS)
Since I couldn’t figure out a free/painless way to edit a million photos’ EXIF data, I made a shortcode instead, and will just enter locations by hand in the post.
More of the same, but with actual correctness now »
Tagging is:
I’m working on it. Not really, but kind of.
NOTE, FROM THE FUTURE: I’m probably about as caught up on tags as I’m going to be. That still amounts to “not very”, but that’s all you get.
In case anyone has forgotten about that other site I have, I have news pertaining to it. Thanks to the magic of inter-net, I was finally able to get screen captures from the 90210 episode from 1999—formerly the only sighting I had no evidence of.
Remember how excited I was to add geotagging? Hella short-lived, yo!

NOTE, FROM THE FUTURE: I completely rewrote this, to account for new developments in the realm of me-being-less-stupid.
Go here for that stuff, now and forever: Geotagging, for real this time
My permalinks are all effed up, especially the attachment ones. I think it has to do with when I got all fancy with my directories and then everything got confused. Long story short, I had to re-enter a bunch of posts to get attachments to work right on them. Zuh?
I’m also seeing weird shutter-speed displays sometimes, but I don’t care enough about that right now.
THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE EASY, PEOPLE#$P&!@#^
I just realized the pics I’m uploading are kind of huge in the file-size dept. I’ll try to keep the full-size ones under 200K. I am also constantly having problems with WordPress’s flash uploader, all with the firefox crashing and the rage and such.
In good news, I can (sort of) geotag now. It only took about six hours of bashing my head on the keyboard.

So my awesome domain name (this one) disappeared for a little bit. It expired and I had no idea, until an alert reader (aka my “special lady”) pointed it out to me. I had a squat page that had the wonderful title of “the dotcom yahoo domain name at theworldwidewebdotcom.net” and a clipart of internets and a bunch of search terms.
“But I was not notified!” I said to myself. Then I remembered that when I registered it I gave them my old gmail address, the one I quit using when I got gmail styles on my inter-Smeat. I checked, and lo and behold there were lots of mails, starting with “domain expiring in two months” to “domain expiring in five minutes” to “we’re not going to hold on to this forever, you know” to “PAY UP, DIPSHIT!”
So anyway, what’d I miss while I was gone?
