Small Island Nation update

So, that Small Island Nation static page I was talking about putting up, like, a year ago [EDIT: Almost 2, Jesus...] is up.

Weakness

Did I just pay for web hosting again? Yes, yes I did.

God Damn Son of a Motherfuck

Apparently, my blog will let me post anything but the article I just wrote. It’s so goddamn strange. I get the “unauthorized” response from my server. Considering the subject matter, I’m willing to call “conspiracy!” Nah, probably because the damn thing sat in “Drafts” since 30 April 2009!

[EDIT: 24 January 2011 - Thought the problem was the links to the password protected sites, removed them, still nothing.]

Chucksphere Anniversary IV: A New Hope

Chuck.P — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 21:51:26 +0000

Just kidding. There is no hope here. The demands of college have pretty much determined that the most content I’ll be able to produce for any of the Chucksphere projects is the occasional emo rant or an extremely belated May Day Mystery post (I’m still working on December’s). However, I spruced up the blog by putting it on the front page, then spruced it up again by changing the pallete to something not retarded. The content, though, is still up to its usual level “inspiration.” Let’s take a look at how the Projects faired this year:

Chuck’s World O’ Wargames: LOL. Why do I still have this?

Small Island Nation: Moved to on-site Wiki, which was spam-botted into oblivion. No movement made since August.

The Wildcat Code: Hard to keep up with, due to the demands of college. Still haven’t gotten the December ad finished.

One bright spot: I now have a forum where I can voice my foreign policy opinions. I wrote a peice for the Roosevelt Institutue which made it to the front page, and there are many more to come.

Fuck This Shit, vol II

I just* finished my third semester of college. I am not a happy man. Those two statements are far from unrelated.

*For certain vaules of “just.” I got out on the 21st.

Spambots and Hot Bleach II

Chuck.P — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 22:38:32 +0000

I have returned from the Decemberists concert in Indianapolis, and am working diligently to restore as much of The Small Island Nation website as I can. Those damn dirty spambots wrote over the wiki version so many times they maxed-out the memory alloted to P.M. Wiki and killed it. This means I am unable to recover anything from the wreckage, so I nuked it. The only remaining vestiges of S.I.N. are on Bluwiki, and this represents perhaps 50% of the material I lost. To save that material from destruction, I’m creating a group of static pages for it. This will serve as a stop-gap until I can figure out how I want to proceed.

[EDIT 6:40pm - I found the Evolver theme that I thought was so neat in an HTML version courtasy of OSWD via GLIntercept.]

Fuck Spambots with a Hot Bleach Enema

Chuck.P — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 13:48:37 +0000

So, I decided to check up on my neglected Small Island Nation wiki this morning, only to find that some spambot had deleted the contents of the main page and replaced it with links to porn. And, when I go to revert the damage, the database has written over the “real” page. Now, I need to re-do the entire wiki from the originals I have stored here. And I somehow need to disable editing for the wiki…

[EDIT 10:44 - PM Wiki is unable to let me edit it at all. So, I nuked it. I haven't the foggiest what I'm going to replace it with, but it's done for now. Spammers usually clutter things up, but in this case, they went truely over the line when the DESTROYED CONTENT. Fuckers.]

Newer Site Design

Chuck.P — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 00:11:39 +0000

Well, I finally came to grips with the fact that this site looks like complete and irredeamable ass. Therefore, while I figure out how to fix my old theme, I’m using this (verfiably non-assy) one as a temporary replacement. It’s called Inove. Enjoy.

The Chucksphere Blog Archive

Chuck.P — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 18:38:23 +0000

As I may have mentioned before, the older version of WordPress I have installed on this server is playing havok with the new version I installed to be my new blog. The only sensible solution was to delete the old blog, but I didn’t want to lose the accumulated pellets of wisdom that I occasionally dropped there*. So, over the course of many months (from the launching of this blog until a few weeks ago) I converted not only Chuck-ese, but every blog I have ever maintained, into static HTML and put it all in one place: The Chucksphere Blog Archive. Launch was delayed because I was too lazy to figure out a simple bug stemming from the fact that the server flips out over differing capitalizations.

*As my good friend Steven said at the time: “Really, what is there to lose?” This is why he is no longer in the will.

For convenience’s sake, I have also copied my gaming articles to this page in Chuck’s World O’ Wargames and all of my May Day Mystery news to the Updates page at The Wildcat Code.

Non-Update

Chuck.P — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 03:08:27 +0000

I’ve never missed a month of blogging, and I refuse to start now. I’ve got nothing to say, exactly, as I’ve been busy doing stuff. The Chucksphere Blog Archives are up and almost functioning, and my May Day Mystery analysis is almost up (after 2 months!).
