Hooray LOLcats!

My favorite source of time-wasting laugh-out-loud funnies, ICanHasCheezburger.com, has made Technorati’s Top 100 blogs. Congrats!!! :mrgreen:

(I normally would have uploaded to Zooomr, but at the time of this post, they seem to be ironing out a bug or two related to the Mark III launch. No biggie!)

I imagine as the popularity of that site progresses, “Mr. Cheezburger” himself is going to have to start shopping for office furniture soon, as I’d imagine that running and managing that site is a full-time job! LOL

Other Technorati Top 100 favorites include: Techcrunch, BoingBoing, Post Secret, Michelle Malkin’s personal blog and her very successful Hot Air vlog site, the WordPress Dev blog, LifeHacker, and so on and so forth …

I brokeddeddit :)

As Jessie used to say when she was little, “I brokededdit!” (pronounced ‘broked-dead-dit’ LOL)

I finally upgraded to WordPress 2.2 but unfortunately it seems to have fubar’d a few of my plugins, including my beloved WP-CaTT and the javascript slide/hide thingy on my sidebar, so guess what I’ll be doing tonight, tomorrow, or however long it takes me?

In the meantime, things are going well with the new job. I endured “Diversity Training” yesterday which is (I hope) the last of my “newbie” training sessions. For now, anyways.

Now if only I could find where all the good gel pens are stashed!

Today I was lucky enough to catch up with Glas, a friend of mine who also works for UAB. Had a yummy BLT and some faboo hummus dip ‘n pita slices at the always entertaining Mellow Mushroom on Southside. (YUM!)

I hopped on over to Zooomr’s site earlier this afternoon and saw that they are still experiencing technical difficulties in getting Release Mark III launched. :cry:

Poor guys. Keep your chin up! I still lub y’all! :grin:

In case you Firefox users hadn’t already been notified, the latest updates were quietly released in the early hours yesterday. So far I haven’t experienced any issues with existing plugins … I think most everything was either already compatible or already updated.

YAY!

At least tomorrow’s Friday. The annual Bluegrass Festival is going on at the Civic Center in Gardendale Saturday night, so I might go slink over that way and catch the show. Last year’s was a blast, and I’m hoping to get more pictures this time.

Careful what you Twitter

Mama always said, “Keep your words soft and sweet, in case you’ll have to eat them later.” I guess this isn’t exactly what she had in mind, but it’s possible that a recent Twitter glitch made lead to some eating their words, or having words of their own. :wink:

Twitter glitch leaves ‘private’ users exposed to the world

“Twitter, the popular messaging site which has gained traction among the Technorati, has come in for plenty of criticism for downtime, bugs and trouble keeping up with the volume of users signing up.

But its latest problem takes things beyond the merely irritating and into the realm of dangerous – by undermining user privacy.” (via The Guardian)

Due to some unforeseen quirk of the Twitter API, certain things that are protected within the virtual walls of the Twitter.com realm were available for the whole world to see via Twittervision, regardless of the user’s selected privacy preferences. That means that whatever someone was twittering away privately was actually visible to the whole freakin’ world!

A few hours ago the hole was plugged, but what most users may not have realized yet is that since it was obviously open for a good long while, those tweets may linger on via the many available search engine cache sites.

*ahem* Google, anyone? :twisted:

How Much Is My Blog Worth?

Nice! When do I get to ca$h in? :razz:
