NANO 2008
There’s likely going to be a bit of random noise this year on my blog with regards to National Novel Writing Month. In previous years, I’ve had a plugin setup in advance to filter NANO-related posts from my standard RSS feed. This year, well, I haven’t had enough time to set one up, but the
Gallery Remote 500 Error? Read the code.
I’ve been following the dreadfully incomplete and near-incomprehensible documentation on how to access Gallery2 remotely. It’s not SOAP, it’s not REST. It’s custom formatted form submission.

I used to think people were creative…

What’s this site running?
So I think it’s interesting what pieces I cobbled together to get this site running… WordPress is the primary software Multiply, a multi-user plugin that kinda works for WordPress a bit of hand editing .htaccess — mostly RewriteRules. a bit of hand editing of the siteurl option setting for WordPress Time Patience Luck And special
