Hello everyone, and welcome to the latest iteration of my personal website. Long ago, in my continuing mission to seek out and explore uncharted (for me) web gizmos, I stumbled upon this new (at the time) Content Management System called Mambo. I used Mambo for a while, but the development community fragmented and spawned a similar CMS called Joomla, which I've been using for several years now.

2010 = Joomla, Teamspeak, SMF upgrades

Monday, 08 March 2010 04:00 Blackbird

Been a long time since we've had an update, and all of the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 talk has prompted your friendly neighborhood server admin to bestow upon you the latest and greatest versions of the web tools we all love to ignore!

The new Joomla has prompted me to loose some of the old dead weight -- modules and sections that probably were never that useful in the first place. The important stuff is all here and it seems to work. We even have modules to show activity in both Teamspeak 2 & 3, side by side.

I don't like the styles and colors all that much yet, so I might do a little tweaking here and there. But get to know your new home... hope you like it!

Web site upgrades complete!

Saturday, 22 July 2006 20:00 Blackbird

This site has been successfully upgraded to the latest Joomla!, SMF, and Bridge versions. I had a handful of bugs that I was trying to fix, and I think I have the last of them squashed at this point.

I also turned on a feature that, at least in theory, should improve page rendering speed. Let me know if you see any improvement. Thanks!
