Site News: BlogPeoria upgrade

April 22, 2007

By Billy Dennis

I’m going to upgrade the Blog Peoria Project site tomorrow and Tuesday. That means the site will be unavailable. Do NOT try to make any new posts. They won’t survive the upgrade. Users will notice all sorts of improved functionality, including the ability to easily make changes to their sidebars and the ability to have multiple users on a blog. Some themes might not work well with the new platform, so be warned. If there are problems, my advice will be to disable all your plugins and then reactive them one by one until you figure out which one isn’t compatible. I’ll be doing this most of Monday and Tuesday anyway.

Send me email if you notice anything wrong, but please do not panic. I’ll have the installation and the databases completely backed up.

I write this with all love and respect to the local guys because they ROCK, but Comcast is Satan March 20, 2010

I’m the kinda guy who is always going to wait until the very last minute to pay his cable bill. Usually, I find out it’s due when I can’t get on the Internet
So I’m in the Comcast office on Dries Lane ever other month.
Those guys rock. Professional, friendly and quick. Kudos.
But when I have actual [...]

Day by Day: Skin status update 3/20/2010 March 20, 2010

Today’s strip: Chris Muir is hearing my pleas. Sam is again in the low-cut, skin-tight little black dress. Chris treats up to a front view and a maddeningly curvaceous profile.

It’s official: The Captain America movie is going to suck March 20, 2010

Via Slashfilm:

Now there’s a slight update: according to IESB, the shortlist is now only three names: Chris Evans (Sunshine, The Fantastic Four); Channing Tatum (G.I. Joe, Stop-Loss) and Sebastian Stan (Gossip Girl). I’ve stumped for Evans before, but am a bit surprised that he’s still on the list, because of that Fantastic Four association. But that’s no big deal in the long run, as the Marvel Studios film universe has nothing to do with the Fox version of Marvel’s characters. (Confusing!) Evans is easily the best choice here.

Feh. We need a traditional square-jawed hero for this role, not some pretty boy. Evans is an X-games sorta guy. Cap is a baseball/football/track letterman kinda guy. And the FF movies sucked and that kinda stink don’t wash off.

Let’s not kid ourselves, we are ALL thinking the same thing about that retired white cop who pulled a gun during a Pekin traffic stop and somehow didn’t get his sorry ass shot March 20, 2010

But I am far, far to politically correct to suggest that a black guy who did this wouldn’t be sitting in the Tazewell County Jail right now. Just sayin’.
