Collins’ Onovia

I spent some time on my site today. I haven’t really sat down and worked on it for along time. The most obvious thing I changed was the layout. The green color was nice and all, but it didn’t reflect my personality. “Lite and pretty” just isn’t me. I chose this dark theme called slate by Dan Cameron.

Once I got the new theme online, I figured that it would be a great idea to update my plug ins too. Spend a little more time, getting everything up to date. Why not? Well crap, it didn’t go as planned. It’s been so long since I’ve tinkered with things, that I forget what files rely on what, where certain things need to do, etc.

Plug ins I Broke:
Ultimate Tag Warrior: I dunno what the hell happened here. It’s working, I can tag posts, but I can’t click on the tags. It comes back with a 404 error.
WebSnapr: This showed a little thumbnail of external websites. More of an accessory than a necessity. This is the last on my list to fix, if even at all.
WP-Cache: This is supposed to speed the website up by creating a static page instead of having to query the database every time a page is loaded. Not happening, Haven’t a clue why.

Everything else running on here upgraded to the latest version just fine. Guess I’ve got more work to do!

Moving on, all the work that I’ve put into UFIGaming.net never ended up paying off. It ended up being more of a learning experience for myself than a business. Poor planning, and lack of help contributed to the failure. Once UFIGaming goes off line, I’ll be posting the source to the back end that synchronized steam id’s from phpBB3 to our CS game server.

I managed to get back into Rappelz again. Once an addict, always one right? This is the 3rd time that I’ve given into the urge. Damn I’m weak. I’ve promised myself however that I’m NOT spending any more money on the game. It’s pointless to spend my real money to get virtual money. Over the years of my MMO gaming, I’ve probably spent well over $1,000. While that doesn’t seem like much, there’s not a thing to show for it.

Enough rambles for now. Goodnight.
