I am back from my exile.  It was long and hard, and I did not enjoy it.  While I was away, it was nearly impossible to update Wifighter.  I have also had a rough time upgrading to WordPress 2.6.  Yes, I got locked out of my own page.  Grrrr.  We are now running on WP 2.7.1, and it appears that I will be able to do most of my updates right in the dashboard, and that make me a happy camper.  I still am wrestling with .htaccess files.  I really do not know what I am doing with them.  I used an online editor to create on, but it seemed like it wanted to throw up a login screen just to visit the site.  I will keep working on that.  I still have lots of books to unpack.  Perhaps I will find the answer in one of those.  Really though, kudos to the folks that brought us this update to WordPress.

I hope that everyone had a great Valentines.  Mine was great.  I did not go overboard, but I think that @cateyes got it.

Cheers…

This is definitely not my first post, but I will admit that it is my first post using the WordPress 2.6 interface. I tried using the WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plugin. What could be better than that. From what I read in the forums a lot of people had problems using this as their upgrade tool of choice. At first it reported that the upgrade was complete; without a hitch, but WordPress kept reminding me to upgrade. Then I saw an article with an even more updated version of WAUP. Excellent… Well, I expect that in a few days I will realize what an easy fix this could have been, but at this point. I have done a complete reinstall. I am trying to look for a bright side and call it Summer Cleaning. I will slowly build the page back up. Maybe a bit wiser about what I am doing. I really cannot wait to break my favorite blog Yakap.me - Hopefully for Cynthia, Godaddy offers an update through their hosting interface.

Welcome to Cynthia’s first WordPress blog. She is a wonderful woman with a big heart. Her mind is also full of beautiful thoughts. She will be learning as she goes with this blog. If you like what you see let her know. If you have a suggestion or tip, share those as well. This is all about fun. Yakap means “hug” in Tagalog. Cynthia gives the best hugs…

Enjoy… Kevin

What can I say. I have no one else to blame but myself. It is kind of funny though. Most people that I work with use Windows PCs. It does fit into what happens when you work in a Window’s world. I purchased my forth Mac this Christmas for @cynthia. I have a handful of iPods, but I thought that it would be difficult for me to get new content onto my iPods. Well, now I have the Zune… I just do not have that many good things to say about it. Let me give this some further thought before my final judgement…

The verdict is still out on this one. I think they should have picked a better theme for RC1. Do not get to judgemental on me for saying that. We all are interface suckers. We have been Aqua’d to death at this point. I think most favorable features of FireFox will be the use of less memory and those extensions that get bundled with the release. Help me out though… No more toolbars. Nobody needs more than one on their browser. Again it all goes back to the interface…

It really is a sign of how far we have come. I come back to these portable applications every few months. I am now running and Apache Server on my 2GB thumbdrive in order to test out some sweeping changes to this webpage. Thanks U3 and PocketApps.com

Greetings friends. Thanks for checking out WiFighter.net

Call this a work in progress. This page is produced by a staff of one for now. I am trying to learn about web authoring and blogging as I share my views and opinions about different things that I encounter throughout my travels. Maybe I can help recommend a thing or two to make your life better or more wired. Maybe I can help you to steer clear of some bloat ware or something that is going to be a paper weight in six months. Please check back often. If you see something that you like, leave a comment. Want to help out or give me some tips? Hit me on the boards or send me an email. See you soon…

This blog is written with WordPress and hosted by Laughing Squid. Thanks to their respective organizations. Without them I would be using Microsoft Frontpage.

I am trying to apply a modification to the Hemingway theme. It is called Side-Notes. I changed a few lines of php using NotePad ++ the portable version it is another free tool that might help other unpaid bloggers.

Not all of us spend all of our time connected to the rest of the World. When that time comes this FireFox extension may be a lifesaver, or at least help you keep your sanity. ScrapBook works of the concept of, “Gee, I like this magazine article, but I do not want the rest of this rag that is made up of advertising and those Subscription cards that fall about the floor. I read about the technical term for those a few days ago. I will get back to you with that true believers. So, where was I? Okay, so we have all been there… Look left, look right, look left again. Now carefully tear that page out. Put it in your pocket and act cool as you disgard the rest of the magazine. With ScapBook, you click up on the FireFox tool bar, select where to save it, and wait a few seconds. I save it to my Flashdrive and it is now with me whereever I go. ScrapBook does what it advertises and best of all it is free.
