I am going to be redesigning and coding my website to take advantage of the latest web technologies available. I intend to treat this as a research project to find what kind of web technologies we will be able to use in the future. There are so many great technologies and standards that are coming out that modern browsers are able to support. Unfortunately we can not implement any of these technologies because we must maintain legacy support for older browsers, and even have applications work in ten year old browsers such as IE6.
Last night I watched the closing ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympics, and what I felt and thought was truly remarkable. Dozens of celebrities stood up and proudly proclaimed they were Canadian. The highlight of the night for me was Michael J. Fox standing in the center of the stage, telling the world that just because he has lived in the US for the last 30 years, he is Canadian and proud of it. I am proud too!
I wanted to take back my home directory and decided to move WordPress to it’s own folder. WordPress fully supports this but it is usually easier when you are first installing WordPress, then later on down the road.
The first thing we have to do is login to the WP-Admin area. Go to Settings and under WordPress address put www.domain.com/wordpress/ Leave the Blog address at just www.domain.com Now once you press Save Changes your site will be broken, but don’t worry it’s only temporary.
This year was a fair year for movies. Not nearly as good as last year, but 2009 had it’s gems.
Yesterday I talked about my new 27″ iMac and how I was going to install Windows 7 on it via Boot Camp. I touched on a problem I found when installing Windows, and that was the default driver for the ATI cards.
