I’ve added xkcd to my Blogroll (What I Read). Randall Munroe publishes a comic on his website 3 times a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday).

I’ve been reading the comics at xkcd for a couple months and almost always enjoy Randall’s sense of humor.

My favorite comic so far is Sandwich, which is a funny take on the sudo(8) command. I liked the comic so much, I bought the t-shirt. I wore the “sudo” t-shirt to NYCBSDCon 2006 and got a lot of comments about it. :)

You may have noticed… I’m using a new Wordpress theme. I designed this one myself. I’m no artist by a long shot. Plus, I was hoping to cut down on the graphics and “flash”. I wanted to thank Tech Wench (not that she reads my site) for borrowing Blue Curves for a while. It was almost what I was looking for. I’m not exactly sure how “008″ will end up, but this is more in line with the vision I had when I was looking for themes and first laid my eyes on Wench’s Blue Curves.

Now… “008″. Or “Double Oh Eight”. In HTML color code, “#008″ or “#000080″ is the blue that you see in the navigation bar on the left. It’s also the color of the unvisited links you see througout the site. It’s been a common color used in my websites for years. I thought it was a good name. :)

I’ve upgraded Wordpress to 2.0.4.

Please let me know if you encounter any problems.

The Wordpress Development Blog mentions that version 2.0.4 fixes more than 50 bugs and is a security release — so upgrades are recommended.

I’m taking my picture gallery down for now. I’m having some database problems and I want to make sure it isn’t because of Gallery.

Thanks for your patience.

I just completed the upgrade to OpenBSD 3.9 for my erdelynet.com web and mail server. Besides the obvious OpenBSD 3.9 upgrade goodness, many of the applications and servers that I run were upgraded with it.

It’s amazing that with each upgrade/re-install I do, how much easier it gets. But, I still run into problems along the way.
