I am making various changes (theme, categories, tags…etc) to my blog. If something looks weird to you, just blink a few times and it might go away.

I migrated this site to a different web host last month and thought everything went smoothly. Apparently my feed has not been updating properly since the move.

Like many others, I was excited about the built-in tagging support in WordPress 2.3 and had to upgrade right away. As a safety measure, I backed up the database and thank goodness I did that. Long story short: I used the Categories to Tags Converter function and it deleted all my categories. My theme, the link asides hack and some plugins depended on categories, which means my blog was broken.

My website is now iPhone/iPod Touch-friendly (see screenshot), even though I have neither of those. I have a Wii though, so I installed the Wii theme as well. :cool_kao:

New Things for the Fall

- Flick album of CJP dinner for those who care. Good times.
- New Theme: Finally switched to a widgetized theme and added gravartars to comments, just about time.
- Going to Atlanta for a week in early Oct. I will blog about it later for sure because it cost me a fortune. At least I will be bringing lunch and not eating out everyday after the trip (see below).
- Dad will be back in mid Oct: I will be eating properly again.
- I feel old, really old. I am going through my quarter-life crisis and will be very depressed for the next 3 months. This also explains my recent spending momentum. I didn’t make it up, it’s on Wikipedia.

Question to My Dear Subscribers (of 2)

Should I include flickr updates in my feed? I have been turning it on and off in the past and I could not decide the right thing to do.
+ If they are in the feed, then I don’t need to blog about them.
+ People who aren’t subscribed to flickr can see the photos earlier and don’t need to wait till my post here.
+ My feed will still be active (with flickr and digg updates) even when I stop blogging.
- If I end up posting some of them on the site, it is like double posting.
- I sometimes upload 30+ photos at the same time, and that means some+ updates on my feed.
+ You can always “Mark all as read”.

In an effort to keep this blog active, I am going to post more random pictures.
Randomly unrelated:
I got “403 Forbidden” on options.php when I tried to update the settings in my WordPress blog. I spent 15 minutes going through file permissions and stuff, thinking my blog might be hijacked again. It was actually the links in “Update Services” that caused the problem. My web server has mod_security turned on, and it does not like the word “xmlrpc” in a few of the urls.
Randomly related to the unrelated:
I have not been able to post to here via any blogging client or flickr. Guess why? mod_security blocked access to xmlrpc.php!
Added the following to my .htaccess file:
files xmlrpc.php
