Turning Tips Off

I’m not writing this to post a tip of some kind, Instead I’d like to find a way to turn off the annoying little “WordPress Tip” that appears on the dashboard every time I go there.

It’s been nagging me for a log time now to do this or that and today I did a couple of them just to get the thing to shut up about them and when I next visit the dashboard it’s still nagging me about the thing I just did. That means it’s not “aware” of my needing or not needing to do something, it’s just serving up random tips every time I load the dashboard and frankly, I’m already not happy with the auto upgrade whether I like it or not to WP 2.5, this is just making it that much more “fun” (not)

Working on Mixminion

After a long time away from it, I’m returning once again to my Mixminion Message Sender program. The first thing I’m going to be doing is creating a new distribution package that will include a default install of mixminion so that the whole thing will be a lot more ready to use right ‘out of the box’.

The next part of the project is a bit more ambitious. I’m going to *try* to get Mixminion-0.0.8alpha3 built for win32 so that Windows users can once again be on track with the developers.

So far, after a few trial runs today I can see that it’s going to be a challenge. Especially since the original was apparently built with Visual Studio 6’s C compiler. I’m going to be trying to get this accomplished within the cygwin mingw environment instead because I personally would prefer it to be built with free tools if at all possible.

All Revved Up With Nothing To Write

At least that’s how it feels sometime. I looked at this blog today and realized how long it’s been since I posted anything and that just can’t be allowed to stand.

So, I’ll post about a couple of other blogs that I managed to get posts written on today that normally go a long time between posts.

Starting out with my blogger blog, where I posted about a series of articles I’ve written about being anonymous online called “A Collection of anonymity tutorials“. My eventual goal is to have a guide that will allow anyone to blog anonymously without fear of their identity being discovered or given up by the place where the blog is hosted. They won’t be able to give anything up because they won’t have anything TO give up.

Then there’s my MySpace page, which is another one that sometimes goes a month or more without posts, There I talked about some posts that my wife has written that are very much worth reading. Especially if credit cards and / or home equity loans are or might be factors in your life now or anytime soon. And lets not forget about Gas prices
