ICTlogy

Downloaded and installed Kitten’s Spaminator. Hope it helps me out with some asshole usually spamming here (and all around the WordPress-sphere) :@

I think there’s been some trouble with ICTlogy.net RDF feed, at least it seems to me so looking at Bloglines.

I suggest, thus, that those subscribed to this feed shift to RSS or Atom to avoid being banned from reading such things ;)

I quite forgot!! :O

It’s been a whole year, since 21st October 2003, that I’ve been running this ICT4D blog, ICTlogy.net.

Antonio Porchia, the italian born argentinian writer (1886-1968), once wrote Sé lo que te he dado. Pero no sé lo que has recibido: I know what I gave you, but don’t know what you received.

And I should add: I don’t know if I gave you anything at all, but sure know what I leart in the way. And I dare say I learnt quite a good bunch of things :)

I guess I already finished to update to WordPress v1.2.1 “Mingus”

Things I changed (to keep in mind for the next update):

• index.php: functions, template
• wp-admin/admin-header.php: header customization
• wp-admin/menu.php: include own menus
• wp-admin/wp-admin.css: admin header customization, categories column resizing: left position, width, height
• wp-include/template-functions-category.php: function wp_list_cats arguments to sort by name and show/hide empty ones
• clean cookies in cache: if not, unable to login to admin :P
• upload own js, css, images, documents, etc.

My setup is completed and can be always seen in my blog’s right column, at the bottom section: Setup

For my next migration to WordPress v1.2

Check the following files:

• index.php: functions, template
• wp-admin/admin-header.php: header customization
• wp-admin/menu.php: include own menus
• wp-admin/menu.txt (actually, merged with menu.php in v1.2): own menus config
• wp-admin/wp-admin.css: admin header customization, categories column resizing: left position, width, height
• wp-include/template-functions-category.php: function wp_list_cats arguments to sort by name and show/hide empty ones

I don’t like to spend lots of time writing about blogging because I feel the same way than watching some TV show dealing about some TV series: endogamic. The unique occasions I talk about the tool I use (and not its use) is to track down all the setup stuff: to get back where I got lost and to shine some light on someone coming behind.

All this digression is to introduce two people I’ve met by looking at my logs. Someone got here through Technorati and, well, I couldn’t help to “technorate” ICTlogy and found two (new) people linking me. Wow! They made my day!

One of the reasons I made this blog up was to get in touch with other people with similar interests, but this is becoming quite a hard thing to do. Finding people quoting me or considering me a Key EduBlogger makes me think I’m not alone and there’s people I can learn from.

Thanks Josephine and thanks Yan for being there and showing up :)))
