Don't go to Crain Veterinary in Grain Valley, Missouri
Dec 27th
My family and I travel home every year for the holidays. Every year we have to board our dogs for a few days. We have a Boxer and a Miniature Dachshund. Gunner and Cash, respectively. An odd combination, I admit. For the last 2 years, we have used Crain Veterinary in Grain Valley, Missouri to take care of our boys. This year, I have had enough. More >
Multiple Site Admin Permission Solution in WordPress MU…Kind Of
Dec 23rd
Admission: I am a tech-freak. My idea of Christmas presents this year? WEB SITES FOR EVERYONE! Now, I made this decision and just started purchasing domain names. As an afterthought (I know…great time to think about it), it occurred to me that I am the only web-minded person in the family. Great! Now everyone has a website that they are going to want help maintaining. Great planning, kruser! Then it hit me (again…my timing is impeccable), I have WordPress MU! Problem solved. But wait, there’s more. One of the sites was for my niece, a rather web-centric person as well. I wanted her to have full reign of her own domain instead of being bound to my themes and plugins. I figured making her an Administrator of her domain would solve this issue. NOPE! Well, damn…back to square one!
NOTE: If you are not well versed, or at least adventuresome with your hosting service and database management, just skip this article! More >
Top 10 Inconsiderate Driving Styles: Are You One?
Dec 22nd
Now, this is a subject that all of us could rant about for hours (or pages depending on your style), but it is one that I feel I must touch on. Now, all of us have been guilty of at least one of these at one time or another, be it inadvertent or purposefully, so I suppose I am ranting about every driver out there…including myself. However, if you are a habitual offender of one or more of the below, know that there are hundreds or people out there just hoping you piss off the wrong guy while driving through a dark alley. More >
A Guide to SocialScope Shortcuts
Dec 21st
SocialScope is a new application for BlackBerry that allows users to simultaneously post to Twitter and Facebook. They are also working on Flickr and FourSquare integration. Unfortunately, they are still in private alpha. You can get on the waiting list by signing up at socialscope.net. Those of us who are fortunate enough to have been sent an invitation to SocialScope have discovered just how hard it is to live without it.

2 Steps to Stopping Splog Registrations in WordPress MU
Dec 13th
I was doing some routine maintenance on all of my blogs today, when I noticed an unusual number of new blogs had been created on one of my domains. Immediately, I was filled with a feeling of pride…one of my blogs had finally gone mainstream! Out of sheer excitement, I logged in to the site to see what my new authors were posting. As the page loaded (my internet is running a tad slow tonight), I felt like child unwrapping the BIG present Christmas morning. I eagerly anticipated reading the newest blog posts, but was instead met with a stunning revelation: sploggers had invaded. More >
42 Must-Have WordPress Plugins
Dec 9th
I was sitting here pondering what to post. I thought I would jump on my blog to check recent comments. Once I logged in, I saw I had a plugin update available and I did a mini-dance in my head. I love plugin updates because you never know what new features you are going to get. Then it hit me…why not do a post on my favorite WordPress plugins? So, without further adieu, here they are!

I said, "Hello" you Prick!
Dec 5th
Something I hate more than anything…inconsiderate people. Why is it that the farther down the path of time we go, the more manners seem to go by the wayside? No matter how nice you are to some people, they are just rude. The most recent example in my life, and the reason I am writing now, is the people who don’t ever return a greeting. Seriously, how fucking hard is it to just say hello back? Now, I will be the first to admit, and those who know me will attest to the validity of my claim…I am an asshole. I am usually not one that people stand in line to talk to, unless they want something from me. However, when someone offers me a greeting, I at least have the decency to return it. More >
