So, here comes Bill. Codename for Wordpress 1.5 that is. I used it for a bit on my other site and decided that it was worth the trouble to go through the theme change. Wasn’t too bad… only took me couple of hours. mostly adding to the stylesheet. I especially like the new and improved […]

They called it Strayhorn. It was Mingus before. I love it. (My home servers are called Mingus, Monk, Miles and Sinatra).
So, I rarely use it on this blog, but my Japanese Blog I’d like to use more of the trackback feature. this is knowb bug that 1.2 ’s trackback is broken. Good reason to do […]
