Besides manually updating six separate instances WordPress (to version 2.6) in the NMC fleet of sites, I also finally paid some over due attention to the version of WordPressMultiUser I have had up since November 2007. This tool some rustling to get it to the right version and also what had not been done in [...]

I Am So Un Cuil by cogdogblog posted 31 Jul ‘08, 3.01pm MDT PST on flickr
I did not spend much time poking at www.cuil.com since it was pretty well blasted across the blogosophere.
My ego search left me depressed, nothing for cogdogblog but plenty of "cat piss"
Oh well, they must have wised up, [...]

Perhaps your head is exploding with all the new stuff coming out of every electronic orifice. It might be useful to consider how you go about getting your dose? Maybe it’s RSS, it might be clicking every link shared by a Jedi master, or slogging through the plaff of twitter, heck it might even be [...]

Again I am embarrassingly late to embrace a trend. Moo cards have been around like since Web 1.6 - those slick half sized business cards that feature a different image on each card, and quite often images personally picked from flickr.
Thanks to a friend who slipped me a promo code to get a discount on [...]

I can’t stop going back for more GraphJams. I am wearing my GraphJammies eating peanut butter and GraphJam sandwiches.

Here is what the latest blabber from CogDogBlog has in it- heavily weighted by [...]

Calling drupal jedi masters! I need some advice. When planning the structure of the NMC web site I had only a fuzzy idea of how to use taxonomies for organizing content, and ended up creating one taxonomy for staff to organize content that is a bit problematic as it serves multiple purposes, and I want [...]

As a kid I was immersed in the House by Pooh Corner it was the ancient “book” technology and a few 72 rpm LPs of someone reading the stories. I did not have too many of the accessory toys, maybe an inflatable set of characters. I really wanted a heffalump.
The stream of memories was triggered [...]

It’s been almost a year since my half baked idea emerged for 50 Web 2.0 Ways to Tell a Story — I presented it 7 times, which for me, a reluctant presenter is a lot of repeats. But it is a fun show, and the highlight was getting a packed auditorium at Northern Voice 2008– [...]

I’m loading up my duffle bag with mosquito repellent, mess kit, multi-tool, flashlight, sleeping bag, laptop, blog…. woah woah… well I am not taking all that stuff but I am going to camp… WordCamp! WordPressCamp!
Thanks to a direct message nudge from @lloydbudd as a reminder, I hemmed and hawed and then just spelled [...]
