new World Famous MarkPitman.com launched

I’m going to be taking a beating soon from my techie friends for redoing the World Famous MarkPitman.com in php and not java.  Suffice it to say, i wanted to get this done quickly and picked a language that allowed me to work in an expedited manner.  Practicality won - as tends to be the course with me.  I join a long list of people making a living off of the java language that chose to develop their own web site in php.  something messed up with that.

I’m sure there are errors in the site - broken links, and all.  The server is recompiling php and apache to include some nuggets i need that existed on the development machine - but where not enabled in production…until that gets finished, there will be larger sections of functionality that display fatal php errors.  i’ll be cleaning them up over the next few days, as well as getting the poker books reviews and code sections working.

though it’s not perfect yet, corks have been loosened here and in other parts of the world to celebrate…

updates

I’ve not been posting much - so too keep (both) loyal readers up to date on things, i am in process on the following list:

  • wordpress upgrade - 2.0.3 to 2.6.3 - long overdue
  • new markpitman.com redesign.  a few pages are done, though i’m still pondering how i will integrate the blog into the new look and feel - as i’m not using a wordpress theme for the site
  • same wordpress upgrade on all the wordpress blogs i’m running for myself and/or others

I tried the automatic upgrade wordpress plugin, but i ran into permission issues that forced me to upgrade manually.  No real issues on the upgrade.

flip video

i picked up the flip video device a few weeks ago.

the first thing i did was but some batteries in it, tossed it in the bag and headed off to work. once i got to the parking garage, i turned it on as i strolled to the office.

probably the worst video i have ever shot, but here it is…cause i know if people watch american idol, they don’t care much about what they watch:
