Over a year ago I got fed up with b2evolution: the blogging software I had been using for some years. The main problem I had with it was that the tools for dealing with comment spam required constant manual intervention. So I switched to using a paid Typepad account and hosted my blog at blog.limul.us. [...]

I’ve started working on a fun “little” hobby project: urlpixie.com. At it’s heart, it’s a tinyurl clone with heaps of JavaScript and AJAX sugar. But I’m hoping I’ll have the time to continue to add features to it, to make it more than just a clone of tinyurl. At the very least, it’ll be a [...]

I’ve finally gotten around to upgrading the software that runs this blog, b2evolution. Thankfully, the upgrade procedure was not as bothersome as I figured it would be. Converting my skin for use with the new version wasn’t very difficult. One of the reasons for the upgrade was so that I could use TextMate’s Blogging Bundle. [...]

Limulus.net goes through another redesign. What’s new: a fixed width, Helvetica Neue, hopefully better line spacing and a photo as the background for the site header that I can change on a whim.
Limulus.net is now going through another redesign. The biggest change in the functionality of the site is the removal of the menu on the left side. The idea behind the navigation menu was so that you can go from one area of the site to any other with just one click. That sounds like a [...]

Limulus.net is no longer being hosted at Hurricane Electric. HE has been a great ISP, but for quite some time I’ve been wishing I had root access so I could set up virtual hosts and do other super-user things. It wasn’t until recently, with the advent of fast and cheap virtualization software, that this became [...]

I’ve upgraded the limulus.net Gallery installation from 1.5 to 2.0. Man, is it nice to get away from that awful 1.x codebase! Unfortunately, it’ll have to remain completely unskinned and unintegrated into the rest of the site for a while. I’ve also created a Google Homepage widget that displays a random image from the gallery. [...]
I had no idea that VeriSign holds a monopoly on the .net TLD. Now that they’ve been given the green light to start raising .net prices after the end of the year, I suppose it’s time for me to renew limulus.net for a good long time while prices are low. While I’m at it I [...]

limulus.net has had pretty much the same design since it launched a little less than three years ago. After finally finding a good stock image of a horseshoe crab that I could use on the web (thanks to iStockphoto), the site has been redesigned. And if you are wondering about the horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus [...]

This time it’s a desert theme, with the images taken from here and here.
