Thursday’s blog group is going to focus on this platform, Manila, that’s on Harvard’s blog server. 7 pm, Berkman Center for Internet & Society, Baker House, 1587 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA.
It looks like the server gods changed some things yesterday.
I was so happy to go to the stories page and see the Create a New Story link at the top of the page. That’s a tweak I’ve been dreaming of for two and a half years. The other exciting changes to the Stories section include [...]
A misplaced apostrophe in some HTML code caused the editing screen for a blog post to disappear and the display of the blog on that post to warp. I had to write to the weblogmaster about another editing problem I was having–something about length not being defined–so I mentioned this one. I expected to be [...]
While I was out sick Monday, I listened to some of the podcasts that have been piling up. The July 23 Weekend America has some segments about dreaminig, including a mention of lucid dreaming. While napping later, I suddenly became aware of the dream I was having. I was blogging–I think it was part of [...]
I did the thing with my weblog that I usually do with my car’s odometer: “Oooh, I’m approaching the 4,000th post! I should post something when it flips or to honor the occasion.” Just the other night, I realized the odometer was going to flip to 277,000. Then, I forgot about it. Post 4,000 is [...]
As you probably know by now, I love being able to receive and read comics in my aggregators. I am sad to report I had to drop Get Fuzzy from this blog’s aggregator because it hasn’t been releasing the comic properly and it’s been causing problems. I know some of you have been reading it [...]
I’ve learned from other bloggers on this server and from would-be scratchpad commenters that there are occasional problems leaving comments. Since I haven’t encountered the error message myself, I’m not sure exactly what’s going on. Could someone please either e-mail weblogmaster at cyber.law.harvard.edu with details of the problem or send them to me so I can [...]
I hadn’t noticed TrackBack spam on this weblog before checking out the TrackBacks on some old posts. All are from online poker sites and have been there for months.
As far as I know, there isn’t an easy way to comb through the blog looking for TrackBacks. I’m a little concerned now about other TrackBack spam [...]
I was shocked when I tried to file something in the Reading department and couldn’t find it on the drop down department list on the posting page. Following the link on my sidebar returned a 404. It had vanished from the Departments page. I quickly created a new Reading category and found the cache in [...]
Several things about the exchange with the person in charge of DMOZ’ directory of librarian/library blogs have been bugging me for a while. I just had an epiphany about one of them that brings me such clarity, I can finally put it in words.
Since this weblog has no direct relationship to my employer, I requested [...]
