I’ll be at SXSW Interactive later this week. I’m not sure which talks, panels and events I’m going to attend just yet. I do plan on attending at least one or two of the keynotes – hopefully the Ray Kurzweil conversation with Lev Grossman “Expanding Our Intelligence Without Limit” and Jennifer Pahlka’s “Coding the Next Chapter of American History“. Quite a few of the featured sessions look good too.
If you’re going too there leave me a comment about what events you might be attending.
I’m switching the forums back to bbPress now that there is a bbPress WordPress plugin for it. I’m going to try to port all the messages back but there I’m not sure how that will work out. So please be patient if you feel you need to post to the forums. I had previously used bbPress but is seemed that no progress was being made regarding development so I switched to Mingle Forum. Turns out bbPress was more useful – I was able to track topics better and respond better to posts. So that said I need to fix a few style issue and and try to port the posts back to bbPress and then the forums will be available once again.
UPDATE: In retrospect I’ve decided not to import the existing forum content for a couple of reasons. One, I don’t have the time to do it. And, two, I’d just like to start fresh with the forums and simplify them.
After a lot of wrestling with bbPress I finally got the message forums back up and running. There were three plugins that were causing various problems ranging from a 500 error on the server to screwing with the output on the pages and causing html not to be rendered. They were promising plugins and I will look at them again in the futrure – adSense for bbPress, bb SEO Tools, and Google Sitemap Generator. In any even I’m happy to have that problem behind me for now and hope that people will continue to make use of the message boards.
For some irritating and unknown reason the support boards are down right now giving a 500 error for no obvious reason. If anyone has any bright ideas I’d certainly be happy to entertain them. Will post when they are working again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hoping to get this right the first time…
The idea is that I have all my blog integrated to post to both Facebook and Twitter so that I can simplify my life and get more generative tendancies flowing rather than trudging through the peat bog.
If all goes well this should result in a lot more activity on both Twitter and Facebook from me.
I haven’t checked this site in IE 6 since I re-themed it and man it looks bad. Maybe it’s because it’s running a virtual machine – I hope that’s the reason but I wish IE 6 would just go away and die. But really why not take it a step further and wish that Microsoft would make browser that were standards compliant. So sorry IE 6 users is this site looks bad you might want to use Firefox, Opera or Safari.
I just realized there are a few style issue as well as bugs with this theme. I’m going to try to fix them today. They include things like misaligned text and not comment sections. I must have been working on it too late at night. Doh!
