I hate Bob

I don't even know Bob but I hate bob. I have a feeling I am not alone in hating bob. I know at least one other blogger who hates bob as well. Bob is lucky I don't know him or I might make the papers for wacking him upside the head with a 2x4. In any case, I have deleted his posts, banned his ip addy etc etc, and he keeps coming back.

Short of hiring a hit man how can I can I make sure this guy never shows up on my blog again.

I know it has something to do with blacklist, but I don't want to go messing there, or people will be wanting to hit me upside the head with a 2x4.

A Munuvian (Me) in the News!

On Tuesday I was interviewed about liveblogging by James Hebert who writes for the San Diego Union-Tribune. This morning the article is up, and Mr. Hebert has done a great job with the subject:

Sometimes serious and substantive, sometimes as snarky as the hecklers in a ballpark's bleachers, the liveblog is an offshoot of blogging (or Internet journaling) that harnesses the instantaneity of the Internet to offer real-time commentary on live events.

Whatever else they are, on Wednesday night the liveblogs were almost invariably more entertaining than the actual event – and they often served as a satisfying stand-in for debate viewers' own frustrations.

Go by and read the story!

Anyone else notice Pixy has yet to put the promised Paypal button up yet?

Simple question...please don't laugh at me

How do I REM out some lines in my main template? I expect I'll have to take out my Hockey Whoopass Jamboree every now and then, and it would be so much easier to just REM out the line with my logo when I need to.

Reminder: Liveblogging Tonight!

Tonight is the final debate between President Bush and Senator Kerry, and Patriot Paradox will be liveblogging the debate.

I will be posting seperate posts for each of my points this time, instead of the way I have liveblogged in the past by updating an individual post.

be sure to stop by and liveblog along with me. If you are liveblogging let me know, and I'll link to you. Leave it in the comments, or email me here: patriotparadox@NOSPAMgmail.com

In other news I will not have a chat, but encourage all to chat in the comments.

Help Moving Archived Entries?

Hey, does anyone know a quick 'n easy way to move a bunch of old entries from one blog to another? I ask because Loren is all set up at his page, and I want to move the entries he posted at Civi-Calls to his new place.

Many thanks, all in advance.

New Latest Visitors

I love the new Latest Visitors! Now, if there were only some way to correlate it with awstats - the problem being that awstats lists only the host name, and Latest Visitors lists only the IP. (Okay, I can get the host name from the IP myself, but it would be nice if Latest Visitors would do it for me... also, some hosts have multiple IPs, but you can tell from their names that they are logically the same.)

No Comment Notification

This morning, I stopped getting email notifications of my new comments. I double checked that the option is chosen and that my email address is correct in my config.

Anyone else having this problem? Or maybe an idea of how to fix it?

Pretty Please?

Last Debate Chat Party

It has come to my attention that a number of people (ok 2) who wanted to join the debate chat fun on Friday were unable to get there or had some difficulty. I blame the host - which would I guess be me. I should no better than to send an invitation to a party and not include directions for how to get there.

Luckily, I have one more chance to get this right.

The third and final debate between the candidates for President will be held this Wednesday, October 13 at 9:00 EDT. Live debate chat will be held in the Mu.Nu chat room.

As before this will be a BYOB clothing optional event.

See extended entry for directions to the party.

Taking the Pep out of Pep Boys

I know not all members of Mu.Nu are Military in fact most likely are not, but I am asking for help from all of you.

I just ran a post titled Military Member Loses Job Over Service.

It is the story of a Naval Reservist who was fired by the PEP Boys Automotive chain because he was called to active duty.

As an active duty member myself I was very heated when I heard about this.

I would appreciate any assistance you can provide in spreading the word on this atrocity. Please, please, please, feel free to trackback to my post and help me spread the word.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

SlagleRock Out!

If you have anything to help me in my fact search please zip over to my site and let me know. Leave your comments in the actual post here. For some reason I can access my site from work, but no Munuviana. I don't know what the deal is.

Thank you all for your help.

I Cheesed It Up

Well, I've crawled my way back into the light, and right off the bat I've buggered something up. When you try to trackback an entry, it goes to my error page.
I recently took all my posts back to the non-category status, and no longer have categories, nor a category archive.
Perhaps one of the resident geniuses can 'splain to me what badness I've done and how I should put it right again?
Pretty please?
Oops, should have said... it's The Cheese Stands Alone, for those of y'all who don't know me.

PS... Oops, nevermind, entirely my bad... I've fixed it now.
But it was nice to have a chance to remind you what a trainwreck I am sometimes. Pixy, I found it just as you were telling me the solution.
Thanks.

Reminder - Save The Date

It's another Friday night. And there is nothing to do. No place to go. No friends to meet. You, like me, lead a pathetic life. What do you do? How do escape the drudging horror that is your existence? How do you confirm your utter geekiness and have a good time too?

Turn on the Presidential Candidates Debate this Friday at 9:00 p.m. EDT then log on to the Mu.Nu portal and join in the Chatroom fun.

Its a rollicking good time filled with fun, snarkiness and typos. And plenty of laughing out loud too.

This is a BYOB and clothing optional event.

Where'd I go?

I can get to all the other mu.nu sites, but for some strange reason, I can't get to MINE!? (http://mhking.mu.nu/).

I hope I didn't tick anyone off!

Blacklist Glitch/Policy Question

Hi. There's a strange little situation occurring regarding the blacklist. A perfectly nice blogger is being harassed by a prolific stalker who leaves weird, inchoherent spam in his name at other websites.

Currently, we have him blacklisted because of the spam. But I'm not so sure this is fair, since it isn't really his fault someone's using his name.

There's no ideal solution, though: if we take him off the blacklist we may have to potentially deal with spam from the stalker in the future.

Perhaps people could leave their input, and Pixy could then make a final determination?

If it's decided that we want to remove him from the blacklist, I'll review the blacklist procedures carefully and do the actual work. (I haven't worked with Blacklist before, but I may as well learn.)

Let me know. Thanks!

What the hell is wrong with my site? After the trackback is a little period-and if you click on it, it OPENS MY MT SITE to let people edit it! Is this normal?

VP Chat Party

Assuming, and rightly so, that I would be late in posting an invite to meet in the MuNu chat for the next presidential debate, Tuning Spork has sent the invitation for me. Thanks.

But if you can't make it to the big show on Friday night, be sure to stop in and join the fun during the VP debate Tuesday night 9:00 EDT.

Pajamas are optional - spelling doesn't count.

A standing ovation for Pixy please.

Hey folks;

I think something's gotten a little lost in all the recent discussions about traffic, bandwidth eekage and moving to a bigger server etc.

And that is the fact that, due to Pixy's skills, care and foresight in setting up and managing MuNu, we got through September's monster traffic assault without a single service outtage or crashed blog.

Think about that for a minute. There are many, many individual blogs that have been brought screaming to their knees under that kind of an unprecedented barrage (known as the Slashdot effect). MuNu has over 100 blogs on a single installation of MT, 4 or 5 of which saw massive surges in traffic, and the rest of us didn't even hear a burp.

Pardon me, but FUCKING IMPRESSIVE.

I gotta doff my keyboard to ya Pixy. You've done one hell of a job.

Let's hear it for the Maestro huh?
