Energy Drink Deathification

Michael Fienen — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:04:07 +0000

I made a mistake this weekend. I volunteered to join Steve on his journey to find the worst energy drinks on the market. I thought it’d be funny, especially when we found a NASCAR inspired yellow can called Turn Left at Big Lots for seventy cents. As it turns out, it isn’t funny. It’s painful [...]

Here’s a Big Fat Digest

Michael Fienen — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 02:22:00 +0000

Okay, here’s a summary post to cover a bunch of different crap. Turns out I’m very busy lately, and there have been some changes that will probably impact my normal blog posting routine. I know… you’re heartbroken. Now, I’m fully aware that I have no routine as it is, but I aspire to, and those [...]

Grayplicity v1.2 released!

Michael Fienen — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 04:09:15 +0000

After letting Grayplicity simmer for a few months, I’ve packaged and released the latest update tonight. There’s several under the hood changes, some new plugin support, and added support for Gravatars (by request, with thanks to Brad) and Wordpress 2.6’s image captions. Feel free to download a copy and play around with it. Here’s the short [...]

Gettin’ Your Macro On

Michael Fienen — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 02:33:35 +0000

I think it’s time to rock out with another dotCMS blog, and dig into some basic stuff that can be very useful to people getting started in the content management system. There was a topic recently on the mailing list that was asking about where to look to see some examples of macros, and where [...]

Post-eduWeb 2008 (Day Hell)

Michael Fienen — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 03:15:51 +0000

Well, if there’s one thing we can all rally around, it’s that we’re (hopefully) surviving a travel day from hell getting home from Philadelphia. At least we got off the ground though. The only problem is, I’m writing this on my $7.95/day wifi pass at the Atlanta airport where I am stuck until 8:00AM. At [...]

eduWeb 2008 Day 3 (Can I go home yet?)

Michael Fienen — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:07:10 +0000

The morning Flickr update is done. I was quite disappointed, no sooner had I gotten to the Boardwalk last night and my batteries went and died on me, so I ended up missing a lot of good shots. Hunting down sushi was an interesting challenge, but by god, not only did we find it, we [...]

eduWeb 2008 Day 2

Michael Fienen — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 12:26:57 +0000

Sorry, no clever title for the blog. I wish that I could, but my word maker in my brain is broke down a little at the moment. I think it’s time to do an SVN update on my brain. I uploaded a mess of new pictures this morning to Flickr. There’s an awesome building, I [...]

eduWeb 2008 Opening Day Thoughts

Michael Fienen — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 17:47:49 +0000

Remind me to never allow just three hours to get to Kansas City International airport, particularly in summer, when construction season kicks in. The trip to eduWeb almost ended before it began, but luckily a dash from check in to the gate caught the plane just in time. We also managed to catch the train [...]

Getting my Fixx

Michael Fienen — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 17:22:42 +0000

I have not, and will not claim to be the tidiest person on the planet. What I am, however, is a very organized unorganized person. That is to say, while my desk looks like a mess to you, I absolutely know where every little thing is on it (so don’t touch anything). Where my failing [...]

YouTube MADNESS

Michael Fienen — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:29:35 +0000

I’ve been busy molesting the YouTube lately, and have tossed up a few videos recently. It’s been a while since I actually used YouTube, and I sorta hope I can find excuses to do it more (Steve, time to hunt down more energy drinks). I figured that stuff, combined with some cool crap I saw [...]
