I have a great dad!

Posted on August 18, 2008 by Dave

I’ve been having some kidney pain on and off for the last couple of weeks, and although I’m mostly feeling better, I’m still not able to pick up anything too heavy.

A couple weeks ago I ordered a 1U Dell server to become a colocated VoIP server, more about that in a future post once I have it up and running. The server arrived last week and has been sitting on my floor while I got it up and running. So I get the server ready, but not having transportation, nor am I feeling up to carrying the ~20kg/40lbs box down to the post office, and so my dad drives across the city to take care of it for me.

So yeah, thanks dad, it’s appreciated!

White shoes

Posted on August 15, 2008 by Dave

I’ve been on the hunt for new shoes for a while, probably over a year. See, I have funny shaped feet. I’m a size 12.5 wide or double-wide, with a flat instep and a relatively thick foot. Aren’t you glad you asked?

Anyway, my doctor is on vacation this month, I was waiting at a clinic and had time to kill so I went wandering, ended up at a shoe store and found what might be the most comfortable pair of runners I’ve ever owned. Alas, they only come in white. I feel… dirty… wearing white shoes.

They say shoes make the man, so what does this say about me? Oh well, what can you do, at least they’re comfortable.

WordPress URL format changes

Posted on August 10, 2008 by Dave

For some time now I’ve had some extra junk in my URLs, mostly due to the fact that I hadn’t gotten around to getting an IIS rewrite tool working properly.

I have finally fixed this, so you shouldn’t be seeing /wordpress or /index.php in my blog URLs anymore. Old links should still work, and where possible, will be redirected to the correct URL.

Technically the feed URLs are changing too, but the old URLs are redirecting, so in theory, it shouldn’t be a problem, but updates might be slow for a few days.

Please contact me ASAP if you notice any problems.
