iPhone is Coming To Canada and WPMU 1.5

Posted by trent on Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

First off, I would like to say thanks to Andy for letting me know about the Rogers annoucement for the iPhone coming to Canada. Just like every other announcement from Rogers it seems a little vague:
TORONTO, April 29 /CNW/ - Ted Rogers, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Rogers Communications Inc. today issued the [...]

BuddyPress for WPMU

Posted by trent on Sunday, April 6th, 2008

There has been quite a bit of action in the past couple of months with talk of the future of BuddyPress. This project was started by Andy Peatlings as a way to add some “social networking” capabilities to WPMU. Due to constraints, Andy put the code up for [...]

Domain Mapping Questions

Posted by trent on Saturday, March 15th, 2008

I have really been working on getting the annoying issues of my WPMU install sorted out today.   With the addition of my ssl certificate on the server, anything that works on a domain outside of *.onvertigo.com is just a pain in the ass.    If anyone posted a comment on any of my mapped domains, they [...]

Securing Our Blogging

Posted by trent on Friday, February 29th, 2008

Ever since Matt blogged about secure blogging on wordpress.com I have really had it in the back of my mind that maybe I should entertain thinking about doing something myself.   That article linked to some work that Ryan had done on securing wordpress using ssl.    There were some mixed results on that plugin, but it [...]

My New Feedburner RSS Feed

Posted by trent on Friday, February 22nd, 2008

Ok, revolution is maybe a little strong term, but it is new to me and I know loads of people that have already burned their site feeds to feedburner.   For me, it was a logical choice because I keep putting in multimedia into my posts that seems to break my feed validation.   Regardless, feedburner manages [...]

Funny Advertising!

Posted by trent on Thursday, January 24th, 2008

A good friend of mine is doing a little advertising here in Alberta for his custom feedyard for cattle.    I haven’t seen the ad in Alberta Beef Magazine yet, but I guess it is there and also will be featured in the Alberta Cattle Feeders conference again this year.     I couldn’t help myself, so I [...]

Launch Of Planet Trent

Posted by trent on Monday, January 21st, 2008

I am always working on some strange projects and I got this idea of Andy Skelton about creating an “Aggregate Planet” of all things. This particular site that I have created in Planet Trent is a site that pulls all items that I post in blogs and social networking sites into [...]

WPMU, Guitar Hero and Apple

Posted by trent on Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

The move is pretty much over now!   There are still quite a few things that I need to add, remove and tweak, but for the most part everything is working the way that I wanted.    I have installed WPMU on my main onvertigo.com domain and then added “domain mapping” for each of my domains to [...]

Moving Things Around

Posted by trent on Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

I am just in the process of my semi-yearly screwing around with my sites!    It is going to be a little messed up here for a day or two again!   Just in case you are wondering, this has nothing to do with wordpress.com in any possible way.   I am just moving things [...]

Bluehost To Dreamhost

Posted by trent on Thursday, December 20th, 2007

I think that my impatience is getting the best of me!    I really was wanting bluehost to be the host that I needed for everything, but I am having some issues of late both with performance, structure and standards that are requiring me to do something more.    I was speaking with Sam about this, I [...]

TNT Community Forum

Posted by trent on Thursday, December 6th, 2007

I am happy to say that I finally have my TNT Community Forum back up and running. Six (6) months ago, I had a server crash and really thought that this forum was just one of those things that would never be back due to the loss of data. I [...]

Theme Modifications

Posted by trent on Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

I have been playing around with my theme Diurnal which is a great theme addition to anyone with the CSS Upgrade and hosted on wordpress.com.     It is the only theme that changes the stylesheet based on the time of the day.     Really wicked theme that is starting to catch with bloggers, including even Cat’s blog!
The [...]

trentadams.com Domain Only!

Posted by trent on Monday, November 19th, 2007

As of this afternoon, all traffic will need to come in on trentadams.com since I am going to be using the trentadams.ca domain for another private blog.     Please change your bookmarks to trentadams.com domain if you haven’t already and if you manage to forget and hit the trentadams.ca domain, please come on over to the [...]

Talking Music @ Onvertigo.com

Posted by trent on Thursday, November 15th, 2007

*This project was discontinued* 
I decided that since there is currently no working import/export function for bbPress, there is not way to combine my backups of bbPress from before my server crash. Having to mix and match the entries and all the users who posted them would be a nightmare. When [...]

New Theme: Diurnal

Posted by trent on Monday, October 29th, 2007

I was really excited when the Sandbox competition was on and I came across a great theme in Diurnal!   It is an amazing theme that changes the header with the time of day!    I came across this particular theme after doing some quick searching on Adam’s site and then came across a link to a [...]
