Movable Type Problems

by Ryan Parman • December 18, 2003 • Website • 1 comments

My Movable Type installation seems to have broken. I can’t rebuild anything without getting a 500 error, and nobody can post any comments either. I’ve posted for help on the MT support forums, but to no avail. Has anyone else had a problem like this? Has anybody got the answer? I won’t be able to [...]


Winamp 5, Wasabi, and the Future

by Ryan Parman • December 16, 2003 • Software, Technology • No comments

I’ve been a Winamp fan for quite some time now. I’ve been using it since the days of 2.1-ish, and it’s been near impossible to get me to switch to another full-time media player. Winamp 5 pretty much seals the deal with me. The naming convention for Winamp 5 has already been discussed, and I’ve [...]


Christmastime Is Here…

by Ryan Parman • December 12, 2003 • Personal • No comments

It’s time to sit down with a cup of hot chocolate and watch the Christmas lights twinkle on the tree… I took my 2 year-old daughter outside this evening so we could walk down the street and look at all of the Christmas lights on all of the houses. There’s one house in particular that [...]


Wierd IE Rendering Bug Fixed

by Ryan Parman • December 10, 2003 • Browsers, Code, Software, Website • 2 comments

Last summer, I posted about a strange problem I was having in Internet Explorer. The browser wasn’t properly drawing certain elements to the screen, namely <hn> tags with background images, colors, or borders. It was all very frusterating. In the end, I just chalked it up to Internet Explorer sucking, and left it alone. Recently, [...]


LIR And Bug Fixes for IE5/Win

by Ryan Parman • December 9, 2003 • Browsers, Creating Websites • No comments

Internet Explorer Sucks Most real web designers already know this. Most who don’t are generally either amateurs or are way, way behind the times. You’d think that with all of the money, power, and research and development resources Microsoft has, that they could produce a web browser better than crap. Apparently I’m mistaken.

Lots Of RSS-Related Changes

by Ryan Parman • December 9, 2003 • Code, Software, Syndication, Technology, Website • 1 comments

A couple of people have asked me how I’m able to list the recent posts for nearly all of the blogs I read. The answer is simple. PHP, RSS, and the Magpie RSS Parser. At one point, I made available the PHP code that I use to do it, once Magpie is already installed. If [...]


Britney Is So Freaking Hot!

by Ryan Parman • December 5, 2003 • Personal • 9 comments

I’m having a very difficult time comprehending how one single person could possibly be so hot! Now, I don’t know much about her personally. I don’t know if she got breast implants, I don’t know if she’s cool, stupid, or stuck-up, but that’s not what I’m talking about anyways. I’m talking purely visual, nothing else. [...]


“A Second Voice”

by Ryan Parman • December 4, 2003 • Creating Websites • No comments

I stumbled across Mezzoblue’s “A Second Voice” today. I remember coming across it before, near the end of summer, but I was pressed for time and didn’t get through them. A few days later, I forgot about them. I came across them again this morning, and actually read through each of the three articles. Fantastic! [...]
