I’ve completed the initial version of my WordPress Plugin API class. Check it out here.
Just Upgraded
April 8, 2008 – 5:09 pm
Well i just updated to WordPress 2.5. Looks like all my plugins still work as they were before. I’m loving 2.5. Looking good!
Go Live!
January 20, 2008 – 12:30 pm
Well, I’ve finally done it, www.lmbbox.com is finally live. I’ve decided to just use WordPress as the core of the site vs Joomla or any other CMS system. As you can see, I’ve copied all Project work content to this site. www.lmbbox.com will be the main site from now on for Project work and blog.lmbbox.com will be converted to a solely personal blog. All links to blog.lmbbox.com will be redirected to www.lmbbox.com. I’ve removed most personal posts so that the site will only have Project work related posts and pages. I’ll be renaming sections as well.
LMB^Box Smileys Config Creator
September 29, 2006 – 9:56 pm
Come and get it! Thanks to Coax I have whipped together a script that will create a Smileys List config file automatically from a SQL DB Backup of your options table (or whole WP DB). Enjoy!
Get it here … http://blog.lmbbox.com/wp-content/files/lmbbox-smileys-config-creator.zip
You will need to upload this to your site or if you have PHP installed, you could run it locally. Make sure to edit the scripts configs at the top. You need to tell it what your table prefix is, which Smileys List to work with, and where the SQL file is. The created config file is saved in the same folder the script is in and if it can’t write the file, it will display it for you to copy and paste into a new file.
Finally Joined The Bandwagon!

Today after getting MORE spam 
that got through Bad Behavior 2.0.2, I decided to get my API Key for Akismet and activate the plugin. I created a WordPress.com account and blog a long time ago, but never used it. So I’ve just deleted my blog there but my account still remains with my API Key! The first thing Akismet did (well not the first thing) was to show me on my Manage page that I had 2300+ comments MARKED as spam. 
WHAT!? I thought I had deleted all the spam comment! I guess not, marking a comment as spam saves the comment in the database but just marks it as spam and doesn’t display it. So Akismet showed me all of them and offered to delete them for me. Why should I argue with that 
, Delete All please 
… click … all gone, YAY! 
Do you want to know what that did for my database? Sure you do … my wp_comments table was at ~4.2MB 
BEFORE I deleted all the comments marked as spam … now it’s at a nice 255.2KB! 
HOLY SH*T, talk about taking out the trash! That alone makes me happy that I finally did activate Akismet! 
WordPress Upgraded
July 31, 2006 – 8:20 pm
I’ve just finished upgrading my WordPress install from 2.0.3 to 2.0.4. Everything’s looking good and I’m trying out the WP Tiger Admin Theme. Something that I noticed during this upgrade, when you go to write/edit a Page, you don’t have the option to choose the Page’s Template File like WordPress version 1.5. This maybe a bug with the option left out of the AJAX code.
On another note, I’ve completely moved servers to DreamHost now. I’ve started to learn to use their Control Panel and things are moving more smoothly now. I’ve got many projects / ideas that I need to work on, so I’m going to have to put some updates on hold for the time being. I hope to have some new things poping up soon.
Site Moved!
July 28, 2006 – 9:17 pm
I’ve done it again! I’ve moved from another web hosting to a new server. I just could not pass this up! One year of hosting for only $10, well actually $9 and some change. I’m now with DreamHost and so far it’s looking good. I’ve had to play around with their control panel, but that hasn’t been too hard. It’s just amazing that I get shell access and unlimited domains hosted! It’s late so I’ll updated on more of the news in the morning …
Call For Tech Support!
July 24, 2006 – 7:41 am
A while ago, I had signed up to Beta test Ether and I never got around to publish my service. So I just added a button to my Contact Me Page so that you can call/email me for Tech Support. If you view my Ether listing you will see what exactly I can help with. It is a pay service and the rate is $10 for 30 minutes.
Updated Theme And Layout
July 18, 2006 – 1:42 pm
Today I’ve been working on fixing a few things that were funky with this new theme. For some reason the theme didn’t have comments enabled for Pages, so I’ve taken care of that. Also the comments section has been modifed from the theme’s original. Basicly I’ve moved all the Trackbacks / Pingbacks to below the Comment Form Area. I still want to modify how all the dates are formed though.
I have setup and enabled Text Link Ads on this site. Once ad space is bought, they will be displayed along the left hand side of the pages. This looks like a really good thing and I’m enjoying the system right now. Let’s just see how well they work!
Upgrated Site … New Theme … Lots Of Problems!
July 11, 2006 – 10:35 am
Well I’ve just finished working on the upgrades for this blog. I upgraded to WordPress 2.0.3 and a new theme called Water. This all was done by a freak chance that I saw the Water theme and I just couldn’t resist wanting to upgrade my blog. Hopefully this will get me started on some long needed updates to some of my plugins and keep me on track with blogging.
This new theme is a bit buggy right now. The topmenu only works in FireFox right now (a good reason to get/use FireFox!) so I’ll have to work something out with IE.
This post I’m writing with the WYSIWYG editer on. I just wanted to see how it would turn out like. If it’s any good, I’d need to get my LMB^Box Smileys plugin updated to add a button to the WYSIWYG system. That’s about it for right now …
