In which this website would be in fifth grade now, if it were human.
GOBLINBOX.COM is nine years old today.
It’s been on at least seven different servers. It’s been hand-coded, it’s been run on Movabletype and WordPress. It’s had ten different forums. There have been as many as eight different databases at a time. There have [...]
In which there are links.
A new Twitter-like site was launched recently. It’s called, for no apparent reason, Plurk. It’s basically Twitter with a cuter GUI, and doesn’t, as far as I can tell, do anything new. I signed up for an account (because I’m a whore and have to try all the new junk on [...]
In which I go on and on about crap like WP plugins and widgets and CSS.
I have made this new template work! Yay! In more than one browser, even! YAY ME!
It turns out that IE gets pissed if the math doesn’t work in one’s CSS; in other words, if your container is 800 px wide [...]
In which I love these Mac-and-PC commercials.
I’m a Windows user, but that’s only because I’ve been really poor for a long time. When I get cash flow again, though, I’m buyin’ me a Mac.
Widgets, gadgets, completely different things. LOL! Yeah, Vista’s nothing like OSX. NOTHING. LIKE. IT.

In which there’s a geek fest.
I got an email today from Dr. Derrick over at ISU. (I don’t think we know each other, but he called me Mush.) Anyway, the point is the geeks will be partying at an event called IgniteIT and he invited me and asked me to let other geeks know.
Geeks! Partying! [...]
In which the ‘box celebrates a very important occasion.
Six years ago today, I registered the GOBLINBOX.COM domain and immediately the hilarity you’ve come to know and love ensued.
Yay! Now buy me something!
In which the move is postphoned just a little longer. And I buy silly checks.
At the coffee shop this morning, the barrista was playing one of those pieces of music none of us can name but all know because it was in Fantasia and I found myself whistling along. The woman in line behind me [...]
In which I totally didn’t put my refund into savings. Also: music, massage, my uterus, and moving the ‘box to a new server.
I got my $100 refund from Iowa this week, so I promptly spent it on two CDs and a massage! woot!
MUSIC

In which when I grow up, I want my own server.
Keef is moving again, which means goblinbox.com is moving again. Possibly even this week sometime. I want to move because I can no longer run Gallery on this box due to the new restrictions since the hack, but I also equally don’t want to move [...]
In which I tell you technical crap you probably don’t care about.
I’m trying to move this site from one of LISCO’s old Cobalts over to the outsourced server. Thing is, the site’s got a secure form on it and I don’t really know shit about SSL/HTTPS. I activated SSL on the new server, fine. [...]
In which I do my administratrix thing.
I upgraded goblinbox to WordPress v2.0.2 today! It was terrifyingly easy! I’m so happy it’s hard not to squeal.
I also installed a calendar over at house-11.com. It’s supposed to be so the band can put their schedules in there so we know when rehearsals are and when gigs are, [...]
