Traffic Surfing

Posted by Doug on April 15th, 2008 | 2 Comments

So last week was fun, traffic-wise. Glenn "Instapundit" Reynolds posted a link to an older entry of mine on the same day that he opined about the prevalence of "Can't connect to database" errors that WordPress-powered sites tend to throw under load. Fortunately for me, I had anticipated just such a meteoric rise [...]

Posted by Doug on March 29th, 2008 | No Comments

WP 2.5 has been released. I'm going to move LB.org over to it as soon as possible, so there may be some downtime some time in the very near future.

Let's Get This Post Off The Table, Shall We?

Posted by Doug on January 4th, 2008 | No Comments

Y'all know the routine: every once in a while (read: more than strictly necessary), I get a whole mess of links just sitting there in my browser, asking to be posted. So, let's get to the linkage, shall we?

New Stuff For The New Year

Posted by Doug on January 3rd, 2008 | 1 Comment

A very happy New Year to all my readers (you know who you three are… *grin*). I hope yours was a good celebration — ours was spent with friends who left early (but not before I addicted them to the Wii) and then Dick Clark, as per tradition. I admire the man for his [...]
