Error with Wordpress 2.5 uploader

Filed under Blogging

When I first upgraded to Wordpress 2.5 I was having problems with the flash uploader. I kept getting an “HTTP Error,” and Wordpress was telling me to “Try again later.” I searched around the forums and dug through many useless threads until discovering that it could have something to do with mod_security. I then checked [...]

Casey’s Critical Thinking has moved!

Well, I’m now at a new domain. It’s been a long time coming. For the longest time I have wanted to register cct.com, cct.net, cct.info or something like that, but those domains are reserved for at least the next decade or so. I thought about caseyscriticalthinking.com, but that’s too long. So then it occurred to [...]

45 Unasked Questions

Filed under Blogging

Kansas Bob posted 45 unanswered questions yesterday that I found interesting, so I thought I’d do it, too.
1. WHO WERE YOU NAMED AFTER? - A road sign (”Casey County”).
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? - My Taekwondo instructor (Korean) once told me that a man is allowed to cry 3 times in life: [...]

Give a brief explanation why you like the post.
Tag four other people.

The annoying Firefox pop-up window size bug

Filed under Blogging

Has anybody else experienced the frustration of trying to comment on blogs hosted by blogspot? You know, you click on “Leave a Comment,” and the pop-up window is about a tenth of the size it should be. You can’t read the other comments, and you certainly can’t leave one of your own. I was holding [...]

Six Things About Me (That You Could Give a Flying Leap About)

Filed under Blogging

I must apologize to my (three) non-American readers, as they have probably become fed up with all these posts on the upcoming presidential election. This meme should help split up the political posts. I am also working on a short post about my views on pre-destination and free will. Several of the blogs I read [...]

More fun with gravatars

Filed under Blogging

I just found a cool addon for Thunderbird called MessageFaces that allows you to add gravatar functionality to your e-mail.

It will take images from gravatar.com and display them as shown above. One more reason to get your own gravatar for free! Once you install the addon, you will need to go to the settings and [...]

Blog readability

Happy New Year!
The following website claims to be able to evaluate the level of education required to read your blog. It says mine requires a high school education. I’m not sure if I should be proud or embarrassed. Do I simply have a reader-friendly style, or am I incapable of writing at a university level [...]
