LMB^Box: Blog

Saturday I received my new debit card with my new name on it, thank god!

This is wonderful, now I can take my CCNA test this week. I think that I’m going to aim for Friday to take it since that will give me some time to review for the test. There is alot that I need and want to take care of, but so little time in which to do it all! I WANT and NEED to get my CCNA, I want to finish my LMB^Box FilePress plugin, I want to take care of some new ideas with my LMB^Box Smileys plugin that Aidan brought up, and I want to finish cleanning up my work/office area which is in the basement (I’ve done a shit load in the past two days, with the help of my father-in-law). I’ll be doing my best to wrap things up and get things done, so I’m sorry if I don’t update my plugins over the next week or two. :wink_tb::unsure_tb::rasberry_ee::blank_ee::longface_ee:

I will be updating my site over the next day or so to the lastest version of WordPress which is 1.51.1 that they just updated. If there are any problems, please bare with me until I get them fixed. Thanks

Update!
Well guess what …. I’m DONE! :cheese_ee: :tonguerolleye_ee: I had a minor problem the first time I tried updating/upgrading my site to version 1.5.1.1, but that was my fault! I didn’t delete the files off of my server before I tried to sync my site up via Dreamweaver and I guess some of the files didn’t sync up right and didn’t get uploaded. So I did the update/upgrade again, but this time I removed all files except for my theme, plugins, and wp-content/files directories! And it worked GREAT!

There are still some features that I would like to see in WordPress that are not there, like on write a page or edit a page, you can’t change the post date. I would like this because that it would allow me to keep pages for my plugins and when I update a page, it shows it. Anyways … I’m glad to be up to 1.5.1.1!

I just want to let everyone know what I’m doing right now. Please bare with me until I have my site the way I want it. All day yesterday, I was working on my site’s layout, design, and site map. I completed the LMB^Box Plugins Menu that will be for all of the Plugin Pages so that you can easily get to the plugin’s page. I also got all of my plugin pages up and something little in them as well. Next I really want to do some changes to the site’s design and more advanced layouts for certain pages, and I also have to finish fixing the display of the site in IE (works just great in FireFox). I need to defiantly update all of my info about me and my plugins on the Wordpress Plugin Competition Blog and on the Wordpress Plugin Competition Documentation and Download Wiki. I haven’t updated any info in a while now because I was working so hard on my LMB^Box Smileys plugin and adding new features. Thats about it for right now, I’ll let everyone know what I’m doing if anything changes …

I’m really pissed off right now! I have been studying hard and long to take my CCNA test and I go and make an appointment to take the test tommorrow, just then I find out that I need two forms of identification and one has to be gov. issued photo id (driver’s license, ok good), both have to have my signature, the second form can be credit cards and check cashing cards, AND social security cards are :nono_tb: NOT accepted! Great!

Start the list of problems
About 6 months ago, I changed my last name from Schanno to Montague (I don’t want to have anything to do with my family …). I got my new social security card and drivers license but I didn’t get a new debt card, ATM card, and I wasn’t in school anymore so I don’t have a new school id. SO, I’m stuck! I can’t take my test until I get a new debt card issued to me and that will take about 10 days … SHIT … I wanted to take this test NOW ! Damn me for not taking care of this sooner! But think about this, why the freak will they NOT accept SOCIAL SECURITY cards? They are as good as GOLD when it comes to identification! There answer … the form of identification must be laminated or plastic … well that’s just great!

What am I going to do … just w a i t ! I just give up … … later everyone.

Well this should say it all! :thumbup_tb: I solved my web hosting problems with my site not displaying my js menu on my main site LMB^Box. The problem was that my hosting provider had the server setup with mod_security enabled and setup not well. It was blocking access to some of my files like .css and .js, but after not getting any real help from my hosting support and a long time on google, I found the real problem and a way to disable mod_securtiy with .htaccess commands. :smoke_tb:

So now everything is working great and running correctly! No more of these problems! Now I only have to update my site’s content since alot has changed for a while … not going to try selling hosting any more, not even thinking about opening a gaming cafe anytime soon (not that I would want to, just don’t have the resources), would like to still get my gaming section up though … also my backups section up as well and my shop to buy the backups and some custom systems that I may make soon, I may get my forum section up too but I really don’t need one right now … and my pcwork section really isn’t that big of a deal so I may just kill it but on the other hand, I would like to be able to have a section just to my customers to go to for info on what I’d do for them … we’ll see.

I know that there really isn’t any interest in my blog right now or ever, but I’d just like to write what’s on my mind and what I need to do. I really need to take my CCNA here soon, I’m ready for it but I’ve put it off for 2 weeks now. I’m just trying to find a decent job and I’m hoping that the CCNA will bring more interest to me. I’ve been working on these WordPress Plugins recently and have another great idea for a plugin as well, but I done think that I’ll have that much time to work on it right now. It may have to wait a few weeks … but I do want to finish the one plugin that I’m on right now, this File Press Plugin is going to be wonderful both for me and anyone who likes it! That’s it for right now …
