File Renamer Basic

I’ve tried a few of these programs in the past, and all have either been clunky or with a poor interface. This one is sharp, well laid-out, and easy to use:

Fixing up m’ Typelists & Blogrolls

If you look at the right column, things are a bit different. (Or maybe you’ve never noticed before. Fair enough. But now’s a good time to notice.)

The old blogrolls for AntSaint? Reads Worth Reading; Links to Check Out; Writing, Travel & Web; Message Boards; Listening to.

Not very good, really. Vague. Scattered. And now, redone. Cleaned out a lot of dead links and sites I don’t read anymore. It’s a work in progress… but what isn’t? New typelists/blogrolls are…

Left column:

  • Listening to
  • Food & Recipes
  • Tech Toys & Gadgetry
  • Business & the Web

Right column:

  • People Liked & Listened To
  • Blogging Resources
  • Books & Writing
  • AntSaint Uses…
  • Reads
  • Travel
  • Eugene, Oregon & the Pacific Northwest

May they be useful :-)

Where’s the links?

In case any of my 7 readers are wondering where all the Typelists/blogrolls went (the lists of links in the left and right columns), they’re down for maintenance. I’m scrubbing and redoing them… so they’ll be back, better than ever, soon enough.

Goodness but the site looks naked with all that empty space on the left and right…

All good things

Quote of the day:

"All good things come not to those who wait, but to those who patiently pursue."

Browser Security Test

The Browser Security Test checks for vulnerabilities in your browser. Just open the link in whichever browser you’d like to test. Results will list what you can do about any vulnerabilities. It actually found a Java weakness on my system, that was listed as a high-risk… now I’m just updating that plugin, and all should be good.

Another reason to go back to Britain

Stpetersgoldenale_1Ah, the UK. Without you, I never would’ve learned that beer could be good. Well, not until I moved to Oregon anyway. But be that as it may…

Crack a cold one of your choice, and see what’s on tap at St Peter’s Brewery, Bungay, Suffolk, merry ol’ bloody England.

Sorry to say chaps, they don’t ship outside the UK. I’ll just have to drown m’ sorrows in a few gallons of Black Butte Porter instead.

Thanks for the link, Penn!

Fixing AntSaint’s TypePad domain mapping

Many, many props to NevOn, who had pretty much the same issues as I’ve had:

NevOn Experimental: Domain mapping still doesn’t work properly

NevOn Experimental: Domain mapping now active

Update with another link on this topic: Blogging Business: Domain Mapping With Typepad.

My own error had been a "www" CName entry that was not pointing to antsaint.typepad.com. Hopefully all will now be well… but we shall see in, oh, about 24 hours or so (give enough time for DNS stuff to fully update/resolve).

The one time "viral" is good, is when it’s you spreading the word about good stuff. Like Firefox.

If you’re reading this, you of course are browsing with Firefox. Right? No? Go get it. Install it. Then look under the Help menu. See it? "Promote Firefox".

Click it. It goes here: Spread Firefox – Igniting the web. This is where you go to get nifty buttons and links like the ones here, and otherwise spread Firefox and see what others are doing to promote this awesome browser.

Things to do this weekend

Yeah. That sounds pretty doable.
