Simplify

If you can read this, then you’re now connected to the new TwisterMc.com. Lots of things have changed in the past week and I’m excited for them all. From here on in, it’s all about simplification. More details to follow, but feel free to take a look around and let me know what you think.

Cleaning up the database.

  • 5 May, 2011

I never fully realized how bad WordPress’ database gets after a while. Plugins leave all sorts of junk behind and it’s just a huge mess. So I started deleting information. Hopefully I didn’t break anything. This all started because my site got suspended yesterday for using to many server resources. I thought that was odd […]

Don’t trust iPhoto with your Flickr photos.

iPhoto Flickr

I found out yesterday that iPhoto, when integrated with Flickr, alters your sets based on iPhotos limitations and doesn’t let the user know. I’ve been using Flickr for years and have been very happy with it. Once Lily was born the number of photos I uploaded increased dramatically. I’ve now got nearly 900 Lily photos, […]

Alligators, giraffes, food and a good vacation.

Alligators, giraffes, food and a good vacation.

Our vacation to Bonita Springs, Florida was a lot of fun. We got to hold an alligator, ride on air boats through the Everglades, feed a giraffe and we had more than enough food and drinks. While there was a threat of snow in Minnesota, we were relaxing by the pool in the upper 80s. Instead of cereal for […]

Life on just the iPad doesn’t work for me.

Well I made it though a week without my iMac. How did I do? Well…. not so good. I was doing fine for a few days. Granted it helped that Lily was sick and I had to sleep with her a few nights and that took away from my computer time. However I found it […]

Music I hate to admit that I saved.

  • 29 Mar, 2011

Remember when we were younger and the music was awesome. Now we look back and don’t admit to liking it while secretly loving it because it brings back good memories? Well I’ve been going through my old CDs and deciding which ones to get rid of. If I’m on the fence about any, I just […]

And that’s why I don’t trust the weather man.

Weather

Last week I overheard a co-worker say that we were going to get a big storm in a week with a foot or more of snow. Then my wife heard it too. Seems it was all over the news. WCCO was reporting 12-15 inches possible, KSTP said 6+ and most other stations were reporting a […]

Testing out WordPress custom post formats.

WordPress

I’ve been waiting for WordPress 3.1 to come out for months now. I was so excited for post formats as I thought that’d make my WordPress blog cool like my Tumblr blog. Turns out, maybe not. The first thing I forgot was that I’d have to update my theme to make them work. Not only […]
