Chicago Alt.Net Presentation, 11/16/2011: Poor Man’s Kanban: The evite is here, the description is here. Meeting is Nov. 16th at 6 PM at the usual Redpoint Technologies space at Willis Tower (what everyone else knows as Sears Tower). The phrase “poor man’s kanban” is something I introduced (well, I guess Chris Matts introduced it) on the yahoo group to differentiate between the very basics of kanban from the much more sophisticated versions that existed then and exist now. I’ll be describing the differences between traditional waterfall, scrum and kanban. Hopefully, it will be of benefit to some. The presentation will be recorded and materials...; posted @ Thursday, November 03, 2011 9:31 PM | Feedback (0)

Broken Category Show All Links: A reader contacted me to let me know that the show all functionality for my blog categories is broken. Thus: https://blogcoward.com/category/15.aspx?Show=All returns zero posts. There’s a reason for this. That page produces an “unbounded result set.” Since my blog is on a shared, publicly hosted infrastructure, in order to prevent traffic from my blog from taking down other sites, I decided to make the settings “safe by default” and return nothing. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Try the veal, tip your waitresses. Oy. Seriously, I’ll have to check to see what is wrong in the source code. Because of...; posted @ Monday, April 25, 2011 6:05 PM | Feedback (2)

Email Provider Changed: Because I’m old and slow and lazy and stupid, I didn’t bother to change the blog config to reflect the fact that I had changed email providers, so I’ve been dropping messages. Well done, sir, well done. Fixed.; posted @ Sunday, April 17, 2011 12:18 AM | Feedback (0)

Comments Re-enabled: Thanks to the three people who mentioned this recently and reminded me to look at it. Turns out that the mail provider that I was using with SubText 1.9.ancient no longer worked with Subtext 2.5.blah, and there was one other config change that was required. I guess the current John Gruber period is over. For now.; posted @ Wednesday, August 18, 2010 8:56 PM | Feedback (2)

Comments Disabled For a Bit: Still trying to figure out the comment email error thing (not surprisingly, Haack isn’t responding, though I would think a problem with the new code would trump the blacklisting….customer service isn’t what it should be), so I’ve disabled comments till I can figure out what’s up. Clustrmaps stuff has been fixed, and the weird “www” vs no ‘www’ has been fixed. New Subtext apparently requires a new way of setting that up. Or I never knew something about how it worked previously past the ancient 2006 version.; posted @ Thursday, June 10, 2010 9:48 PM | Feedback (0)

Upgraded to SubText 2.5, sort of: You get what you pay for. That comment is not actually directed towards SubText (well, mostly) but towards customer service at hosting providers. I will probably detail that part later, for obvious reasons. Haack and crew put together a set of instructions and developed a tool to help upgrade to the newest version. I was pleasantly surprised, well, hell, stunned, that it seemed to upgrade my local test flawlessly. I was upgrading from 1.9.ancient to 2.5, and expected the local test to fail massively. It didn’t (at least not massively). So, I decided to upgrade my online version....; posted @ Tuesday, June 08, 2010 8:08 PM | Feedback (0)

Test post after upgrade: Testing posting from Live Writer. Comments appear broken, but we’ll get to that.; posted @ Tuesday, June 08, 2010 6:18 PM | Feedback (0)

Upgrading SubText (I think): For the longest time, I’ve been running an old version of SubText. Really old. Really, really old. Ancient even. Okay, maybe not that old, but it certainly isn’t current. Anyway, sometime in the near future (as in hopefully this week), I will attempt to upgrade it to either the new 2.5 release, or to an older (likely 2.4) version, and then upgrade to 2.5. As you might imagine, the chance that this will go smoothly is…unclear. I have backed up everything, and I’m going to try it out locally, but we’ll see. Just in case this thing...; posted @ Monday, June 07, 2010 7:12 PM | Feedback (0)

CQRS Presentation, Chicago Alt.NET, 1/13/2010: This should help clear up the upcoming blog posts. I hope. Registration here. Update: video and slide deck here.
